FWIW, police press conference at 2:30 Denver time. I think that’s 4:30 NY time.

He was probably looking for the snack bar, got upset when the islamaphobic students would not help him, then picked up a random machete that just happened to be lying close by.

He wasn’t intending to hurt anybody, but just wanted to get their attention by waving it around.

Students’ and cops’ fault.

None the less, some will still get their heads lopped off. That what they do.

Maybe in some places. If someone shows up with a machete around me? They picked the wromg weapon of choice, and they die, end of discussion.

The source said it appears he was a "religious zealot of some kind."

Very little doubt that he did...

Wasn’t there a thread just today re ISIS calling for knife attacks?

Yes

ISIS Calls for Random Knife Attacks in Alleys, Forests, Beaches, 'Quiet Neighborhoods'

Actually, Mexicans have used machetes in their rampages too. Could be a Mexican perp, as well as could be a Muzzie perp. Remains to be seen. Lots of South Americans in Colorado.

“He has yet to be identified and it’s unclear if he was a Colorado student. Another news conference with further detail is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET.”

Well....we’re waiting. Must be a POC POS or islamo.

Play stupid games...One’s religion does not matter, their actions do. He failed.

Just enough information to imply it’s a white Christian, but actually not enough to show he’s not a muslim.

“A source close to the investigation told the Daily Camera that the suspect was a white male who appeared to be a “religious zealot of some kind” and who had been overheard talking about “looking for sinners” and referencing the commandments.”
