Maybe the machete just misfired.

“A preliminary search by investigators turned up no criminal record for Bickford, police sources said.”

Sounds like a sleeper cell type situation to me.......how many more are out there I wonder.

Knife control is needed. Forks are a danger as well.

How many more are out there? Probably thousands.

After all, millions are pouring into our country unchecked. A few thousand young jihadists among them? Sure, quite possible.

Looks like a “kukri” style blade.

I read he was also known to the FBI and had been on their radar for several weeks prior to this incident.

Wait for the mainstream media to predictably remind us that we should not blame all Muslims for the act of this lone attacker. Exactly the opposite of what they do when a lone allegedly “right-wing” perp is involved in an attack.

Quite inevitable.

I heard he was late for bathroom monitoring.

Convert to Islam.

I’m surprised conversion to Islam isn’t much more popular for young people seeking a way out of the feminization and nihilism of the dominant culture.

Online activity drew the attention of the FBI.

They all pale in comparison to the deadly Spork. It’s a veritable weapon of mass destruction.

Too bad that the bullet did not strike him in the heart.
