France: Muslim stabs four people after asking their nationality, police say it’s not terrorism BY11 COMMENTS

“The perpetrator then inquired of several passersby ‘by speaking in French and in a foreign language, asking them for their nationality,’ stabbing people in accord with their answers.”

It is highly likely that he stabbed people whose nationality suggested they were non-Muslim.

“Marseille: Man shot dead by the police after stabbing attack,” translated from “Marseille: Un homme mortellement neutralisé par balles par la police, après une attaque à l’arme blanche,” Actu 17, February 19, 2019:

7:50 p.m.. The assailant, Karim L., was released from prison in October 2018, according to a source close to the investigation. The 36-year-old man was involved in a murder case in 2003 and was known to police for acts of violence and assault with a knife.

7:35 p.m.. The prosecution announces that the anti-terrorist section of the public prosecutor’s office of Paris has not been involved at this stage of the investigation. The incident is being considered a common crime.

“It’s a common crime. There is nothing that leads us, at the moment, to consider it as a terrorist act, but we continue to investigate,” said the public prosecutor of Marseille, Xavier Tarabeux, at a press conference.

19.30. The attacker arrived from the Old Port and walked towards the Noailles sector, according to a police source quoted by Le Figaro. The perpetrator then inquired of several passersby “by speaking in French and in a foreign language, asking them for their nationality,” stabbing people in accord with their answers.

6:40 p.m.. The victims are 3 men aged 23, 27 and 35, and a woman aged 52. Two of them were transported to the hospital, while the other two were wounded slightly.

6:20 p.m.. The perpetrator was known to the police in particular for a murder case in 2003, but not to anti-terror intelligence or internal intelligence, according to La Provence.

6:05 p.m.. The attacker is dead. He was 36 years old.

Stupid is as stupid does. I guess it’s only terrorism if a muzzie jumps the sidewalk and mows a hundred or so down.

Even if such a massacre would happen, these keystone cops would not have any clue to motives for such mass killings.

He killed his father and in 2005 was sentenced to 20 years for it. Was released in 2017 but got into trouble in 2018 after making death threats to other family members. Was given a suspended sentence and probation but then the suspension was revoked because he began making various death threats again and was caught carrying a weapon. He was tossed in the clink for a few months and then released in October. When he didn’t meet the conditions of his release in December 2018, police began to “actively” search for him in January.

The left would have us believe that the knifings were only Karim’s attempt to let the authorities know where he was.
