The media is quick to jump when a political advantage for the Establishment can be had from a terrible event... as Obama pal Rahm Emanuel once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
But what happens when the crisis doesn't help fit the narrative?
Case in point: recently, a man walked into a restaurant in Ohio with a machete and wounded four people. Precious little was reported on the event, which definitely did not make top news anywhere in the country.
Here is what the Associated Press reported just after the event:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio restaurant where an attacker with a machete wounded four people has reopened to the public with limited service in a step toward getting business back to normal.
The owner of Nazareth Restaurant and Deli in northeast Columbus hugged and chatted with diners who streamed through a buffet and donation line Monday, four days after the assault.
Owner Hany Baransi says he wanted to make sure employees and patrons are OK and show appreciation for the community support. He told The Columbus Dispatch he planned limited food service Tuesday, too.
Authorities haven't released a possible motive for the attack or many details about the suspect, 30-year-old Mohamed Barry, who was from the West African nation of Guinea. He was fatally shot by a policeman after the assault.
That's it. Nondescript. Short, sweet, to the point. How often is the media this short, sweet, and to the point about mass violence in a public place?
Authorities haven't released a possible motive or many details for the "attacker" named "Mohamed Barry" from Guinea? Because the media can't release details until authorities say so, otherwise typically known as journalism?
The details that have only been released quietly well after the fact are this:
Mohamed Barry was a Muslim immigrant here on a green card who was screaming "Allahu Akbar" as he slashed at random people with a machete. The scene was literally referred to as a "bloodbath".
The owner of the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli is an Israeli and he and other patrons immediately reported that they felt they were being targeted specifically because of this.
Oh, and Barry was on the terror watchlist, a fact that of course authorities knew at the time.
Neither authorities nor the media called this event what it was when it happened or afterward -- by all definitions, a terrorist attack. It was downplayed in the media with tiny little articles, but it was a terrorist attack on American soil nonetheless. The FBI quietly admitted later it was a terrorist attack, but by now the event is basically forgotten.
The system is forcing mass immigration and silencing anti-refugee sentiments. This event doesn't fit into the pro-asylum narrative of peaceful refugees or the gun control narrative, considering the man's weapon of choice was a machete and a legal gun owner could've stopped him in a moment. Because it would only make Obama's immigration policies and gun control look bad, the media buried this story and shaped the narrative to make the story fit the agenda instead of reality.
Think about that the next time the media and authorities freak out over "terrorism".
Nothing to do with Islam.
Obama, with his reckless and irrational pro-Muslim activities, is going to single-handedly accomplish what bin Laden, ISIL and Iran have only been able to hope for - he is going to ignite another Holy Christian Crusade to rid the world once and for all of the Satanic cult called Islam.
Well this explains why the FBI was there so quickly. I’m sure they have their orders to keep everything on the down low as much as possible so that not TOO many people can get behind Trump’ s message of limiting these cretins.
Interesting because the attack that was stopped in Rochester NY also involved a terrorist with a machete.
It kind of reminds me of how we stopped hearing about Ebola once Obama named a czar, who was a media specialist. He had no experience with germs or anything, but plenty of experience in media manipulation.
What I can't figure out is this:
His first name is Mohamed
His second name is Barry
In West African country of Guinea..how come "Barry" is a second name,
My guess it would be more like "Barack."
The media deliberately and intentionally, with full knowledge, chooses to hide the fact of muzzy on normal, and black on white attacks.
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia had many former slaves who sought resettlement there. Many of them have western names, such as Phillip and Christopher, both in my church here.
You even find people with tribal first names and Western last names, Western first names and tribal last names.
The surprise is being from Guinea. Most of the Muslims in these countries are very quick to distance themselves from their Arabic “brothers”.
The lib media and the regime don’t qualify attacks by radical Muzz as radical Islamic terrorist attacks unless the perp can be directly linked to a foreign radical Islamist terrorist organization; i.e. ISIS. That way a good percentage of attacks can be underplayed/ignored.
But what did the occupant of the White Hut have to say?
Oh. He didn’t have a comment. Too busy picking Justice Scalia’s replacement.
Barry is the Anglicized form of Barack.
Mohamed Barry Sotero
If only he had been a white, Southern terrorist attacking some protected minority. We would still be seeing it on page one.
A Mormon or an Amish would have served nicely.
Ohio Ping
Please let me know if you want on or off the list.
