“Interesting how, when the name has been out since overnight, and had been on this site, upthread, the conspiracy theorists aare still wondering why “It’s being withheld”!
Sometimes a brief delay is just a brief delay, to paraphrase Freud.”
Amazing isn’t it? In some cases, the theorists are demanding within minutes.
In virtually every case where the theorists claim a name is being withheld because it’s a Muslim, the name is in fact released. And it often isn’t Muslim. Usually it was withheld because the person hadn’t been charged, which is in fact the law in some countries. Imagine following the law!!!
You are just determined to take all the conspiratorial fun out of this, aren't you? Do you know how many people are waiting with fingers and toes crossed that the perp in one of these horrible stories will finally be a "muzzie" so they can sit behind their computers and tell everyone else to go vigilante on Muslims all over the US? And you just wanna spoil it.
Well, I am depressed.
Say, Mr. Taggert - would it help if I were to shoot that muzzie dead?
In all fairness, it’s understandable that people might suspect the perp in a beheading is an Islamic terrorist (or a Mexican drug lord, as another poster suggested) because Islamic terrorists and Mexican drug lords have been beheading people.
Though I didn’t post a comment saying so, my initial thought was, “Islamic terrorist?” But I brushed it off because the crime didn’t seem to fit. It sounded more like a crime committed by a lunatic or someone high on something like meth.
