...Sometimes a cigar, is just a cigar...

The shooting rampage at Trolley Square was not Sulejman Talovic's first act of violence.
At age 12, Talovic was before a judge for allegedly holding a knife over the head of girl while stating, "I'll kill you," according to a source who is familiar with the case.
Two years earlier, Talovic was referred to juvenile court for throwing rocks at a little girl.
About the same time, he threatened his parents' landlord with a knife.
The first girl was not struck by the stones. And the mother of the second girl snatched her up in the nick of time, just as Talovic took a swipe with the blade, according to the source, who has seen court documents relating to the case.
FBI spokesman Patrick Kiernan said investigators are aware of Talovic's juvenile criminal history and are considering what role it might have played in the Trolley Square shootings.
"It's all part of the investigation," Kiernan said. Talovic's relatives have referred to him as "a very nice person" who had never hurt anyone.
"Everything about him was nice. Everybody said so," said his father, Suljo Talovic.
But Musto Redzovic, the family's first landlord in Salt Lake City, said Talovic pulled a knife on him at their duplex apartment in 1998 or 1999. Talovic would have been 9 or 10 at the time

Those yutes. They blow up so quickly.
Justice was served, better than having him go through the court system.

Doesn't this make you want to take a hatchet to the computer?
The propaganda machine is out in full force to disguise this man, yes, man's motives and the fact that he is muslim. He's eighteen, not a child.
He's just a poor misunderstood child with a violent past caused by his witness to war and we should just forget it.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Why does everyone say something like this when describing a murdering thug?
'He was such a nice boy...'
I was reading another article earlier that was pretty much blaming everyone else but him for his actions.

OK, if a kid is screwed up and violent...that automatically makes him a JIHADIST...right....???
At least that's the theme of several other threads thereupon.
It's looking more like the parents are in serious deep denial. I've STILL not seen anything conclusive about his being a one man sleeper cell. Disenfrachised teens will look to ANYONE who somehow gives them a "powerful" image of themselves.
I still think this was some kind of cheap knockoff of the Columbine shootings with a few "Ballyhoo Akbars" thrown in for some "tough guy" bravado. For whatever reason this is looking more like suicide by police force all the time.
Such a nice boy, with a violent juvie record.
On my planet, nice boys do not have juvie records.
Long past time for us to quit running away (or attempt to run away) from the root cause of the problem our civilization faces.......
Sounds like he was a good little Muslim.
Well, his violence was directed toward girls.

With respect, Surah 8:65 does not say that. It says, "8:65 O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence." Says nothing about murder. Other verses of the Quran do, of course, but we have to quote the right ones.
Define "Shall Overcome"
Thankfully he won't be harming anyone else. And some say the death penalty is no deterrant.
They're in de Nile and the Moor the merrier.
