TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Chaos unfolded at a Walmart in Michigan after a man burst into the store during a calm shopping afternoon and stabbed 11 people at random, authorities say. The attack on Saturday left six victims in critical condition and a suspect in custody.

The 42-year-old suspect entered the store shortly before 5 p.m. and used a folding knife to stab 11 people, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on social media. A sheriff’s deputy arrived within minutes and took the man into custody.

Well the AP take. Just call me skeptical, but the media and authorities are hiding the name, due to the man's ethnicity or religion.

Well at least we know it was a man, not a they/them "person".

No mention of the suspect’s name or close up pictures of the suspect have been made public.

I suspect it’s the Ann Coulter Rule being applied.

No, it's because he wasn't a white Trump supporter.

If he was a white, native born male using a gun, we would already know everything about him, and timid Republicans would be working on their talking points.

The Michigan kakistocracy will release the man’s name and photo after they have purged his social media.

” A 42 year old Michigan man “.

In other words, Governor Whitmer wants that to be the only description of the assailant.

Thankfully, there are still some real men in the US. They didn’t wait around for the cops to wander in. This is the kind of diversity that scares the demonrats.

Do we? I’m guessing AP would call strand whatever the person identified as. But it is interesting that is no name or picture of the perpetrator. I’m guessing Black just for that reason, but I could be wrong.

No leak of name yet?
They obviously know who he is and have for since shortly after arresting him. No leaks of name from police involved?

What is to be gained by purging his social media? And by who? Is someone trying to make this guy fit an agenda?

I stand corrected. An armed Black man put an end to it. Good for him. Looks like he had backup, good for them. In that part of Michigan, you’d be running the risk of someone being armed. The Black guy looked like he knew how to handle a gun and no shots were fired. Wonder how many more people would have been stabbed before the police arrived? Hope the Black guy doesn’t get in trouble. This is Whitmer country after all.

As for the perp, hard to tell. Could be Hispanic or Muslim or could just be a ruddy complexed homeless guy. Lack of name makes me think the former.
