They never know a “motive” until they figure out a way to deflect it from blaming Islam.

“The Camp of the Saints is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail. A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. Almost 40 years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011. It was first published in French in 1973 by Éditions Robert Laffont”

The guy was running with knives, stabbing people. What is the preferred weapon of the Moslem for killing infidels? Knives.

We need tougher knife control laws.

Why would anyone need an assault knife?

Well let's face it. "Die infidel, Die! Allahu Akbar!" Could mean just about anything.
