A liquor store customer was arrested for allegedly pulling a knife on a clerk he thought was a "Muslim militia terrorist," police said.
Elias Michael Banales, 31, was arrested and booked for investigation of brandishing a knife, making terrorist threats and hate crime allegations. He remained in jail with bail set at $50,000.
Banales allegedly told the clerk at Speedy Liquor and Mart on Spring Street that "he hated Muslims and that they should all be killed," according to the police report. The name of the clerk and his nationality and religious background weren't disclosed.
Banales fled when a customer ran outside and flagged down a policeman. He was captured a short time later.
Frank Banales, the suspect's father, said his son is a schizophrenic who has episodes when he mixes his medication with alcohol.
"It's not religion causing the problem," he said. "The true problem is mental health issues."

Actually, the son may be the sanest man in Bakersfield. (/kidding off)

When terrorists come from a "broad strata of society", you can't be too careful. I mean, I'm from a broad strata of society, so I have to keep a close watch on myself.

[...] Frank Banales, the suspect's father, said his son is a schizophrenic who has episodes when he mixes his medication with alcohol. Thank God at least he was using legal alcohol instead of illegal marijuana ... or he might have been threatening a bag of Cheetos instead of a human life.
