MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Gov. Mark Dayton said he plans to travel to St. Cloud Monday to offer support for the community following the knife attack at a mall that left nine people wounded and a suspect dead.

Authorities say the suspect, who has yet to be identified, attacked several shoppers at the Crossroads Center mall on Saturday night. Police say he mentioned Allah and asked at least one victim if they were Muslim.

“If true that [the stabbings] were motivated by religious bigotry, I condemn them even more strongly,” the governor said in a press release Sunday.

The suspect was shot and killed by an off-duty Avon police officer, identified as Jason Falconer. He was shopping at the mall when chaos broke out.

Dayton said he’s “deeply grateful” to Falconer for his swift response. The governor also offered his support for the nine victims, three of which were still hospitalized on Sunday. None suffered life-threatening injuries.

Way to go, Governor Dayton! Kudos for standing up to the Muslims and demanding that they be tolerant of the rest of us who have different belief systems than they do, instead of just going out and knifing them or bombing them or what-have-you.

Wait, what?

Thats the thing. The so called leaders don’t care because they are not targeted. I am sure him and his family have a security detail.

Let the Gov. put his family in front of the next crazed muslim terrorist and see how fast he loses his tolerance.

“It is important that we tolerate the mayhem, mutilation, and murder perpetrated by our muslime guests, so that the media will think we’re big-city cosmpolitans instead of hayseed flyover hicks. If a few rubes have to cut up, it’s a small price to pay for a hip, groovy image with the Important People.”

Tolerance? that’s the first thing he says? Instead of demanding that all muzzards stop practicing violence or get the hell out?

Its not religious bigotry. It is religious direction. There is a huge difference Governor. You better figure it out!

I don't remember us wringing our hands and calling on "tolerance" for Nazis as they were marauding and murdering their way across Europe or the Japs after their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Did I miss that?

Isn’t this the same guy that told Minnesotans that if they didn’t like having a bunch of Somalis placed in their towns that the citizens should move to another state?

It is always instructive to revers the language and see how such echoes. Would the 'good' governor indicate the following; The governor is asking the Islamic community to embrace tolerance."(?)

Also not the curious (ref.: Sherlock Holmes "Hound of the Baskervilles" curious) lack of the following in recent crimes; Police say he mentioned God and asked at least one victim if they were Christian.(?) I speak of Orlando, Paris and other acts of RECENT personal violence.

There is a post that the Muslim mayor of Londanistan said that Muslims should NOT ASSIMILATE. So we are supposed to sing Kumbaya and let them attack???

The governor is asking the Minnesota community to embrace tolerance.

Yes, let’s just tolerate the murder and violence against us by muslims, we wouldn’t want to be judgmental afterall./sheesh


Embrace tolerance rather than be vigilant and watchful...

Bet he has good security....

The idiot should direct his plea for tolerance at the Muslims not at the rest of us who have to put up with this scum
