Some additional details on this story:

“Police said the man entered Mr. Westergaard’s house armed with a knife and shouted in broken English that he wanted to kill him....

He said he had grabbed his five-year-old granddaughter and run to a specially designed panic room where he raised the alarm.

Mr. Westergaard told Jyllands Posten (newspaper) he was shocked that his granddaghter had witnessed the attack.

He has now been taken to a safe location, but said defiantly that he would be back, the newspaper reported.....”

He was a black man in Denmark.
The police acted stupidly.

Sounds like a story with a happy ending, at least so far.

Here we go again:

“Jakob Scharf, who heads the Danish intelligence service Pet, said the attack was “terror related” and that the suspected assailant has close contacts to Somalia’s al-Shabab group.

He had been under surveillance for activities unrelated to Mr. Westergaard, Mr. Scharf said....”

Don’t you dare call a Somali Moslem, part of a terrorist Jihadi organization like Shabab a terrorist instead of a one time unrelated extremist - nor even mention he was a Moslem. (/sarc)

Neat! I have a panic button at my house too. It sends a .40 S&W downrange.

If this idiot had been wearing an I Kill Unbelievers 4 the Glory of Allah t-shirt, they'd still be going, "Whuh-whuh-why did he do this?"

Jim Treacher's tweet after Nidal Hasan's Fort Hood massacre. Applies here too. And it will apply the next time, and the next time, and the next time...

Symptomatic of a world gone mad. So long as the PC police let this continue, we’ll see this here in our lifetime. Coming to a US city near you.

Uhh...yeah. “Let’s not jump to conclusions” was what “commander zero” said after the Ft. Hood massacre when some thought that it “might” be an radical islamic terrorist attack.
