He stopped a jihadist in France. Now he's been stabbed in California [Who is the assailant?]
American Thinker ^ | 10/09/2015 | Matthew Vadum

Yesterday’s brutal knife attack on the U.S.-born French train hero Spencer Stone is yet more evidence suggesting that Stone and his fellow heroes are being targeted, possibly by Islamic terrorists.

[SNIP]

At time of writing, it had been reported that he was stabbed four times in the chest.  One report indicated he was stabbed in the heart and lung.

"It is believed that the victim was out with a group of friends when a physical altercation led to the victim being stabbed multiple times in his upper body," a Sacramento police spokesman was quoted saying.  At press time, two suspects described as Asian males were reportedly being sought by police. As  Robert Spencr reminds us (hat tip: Mara Zebest):

...in the British press, “Asian” is the universally-employed code word for “Muslim.”  If [the UK Daily Mail] is suddenly using the word to refer, as in the American custom, to people from China or Japan, they’re not saying so. It is also possible that the Sacramento police said they were looking for “Asians,” by which they really did mean Chinese or Japanese or Koreans or Southeast Asians, etc., and the Daily Mail is too careless to note the difference in usage.

Fox News reports:

Law enforcement sources said they are working on the premise that Stone left a club with a woman who was harassed by [either] one man or a group.  Stone came to her aid about a block from the club, the sources said.  Authorities believe Stone may have been attacked by up to six men and held down while stabbed, the sources said.

According to police, it was just some drunken brawl.  Move along; nothing to see here.

What a lame comment from the spokes idiot.

I know we’re supposed to be sophisticated consumers of current events and accept the media narrative that all this was coincidental but for me its just too much to ask.

“It is believed.....”, “Police spokesman say....” - we aren’t getting any unfiltered information on this incident. No witness interviews, no statements from the victim or his family, nothing.

The use of the word ‘Asian’ stood out to me. That is what muslims are called in the UK. Also, the assailants would have been referred to as white here in the US.

At this point I'm not suspecting any nefarious plots.

I grant you that it is a very odd coincidence that this soldier who thwarted the Jihadist in France got stabbed, but if you go to a Sodomite bar after midnight - hanging around a bunch of mentally deranged people who have been imbibing in alcohol - you might be putting yourself in unnecessary danger.

RE: The use of the word ‘Asian’ stood out to me.

That is a very general word.

Asia as a continent is larger than Europe, Africa, North America and South America.

Asians are Muslims like Pakistanis, Indian Muslims, Malays, Indonesians, Chinese Uighurs, Bangladeshis, Afghanis, etc.

They are also Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Thais, Singaporeans, Mongols, Indians, Vietnamese, Laotians, Cambodians, etc.

Using the term is totally meaningless and does nothing to help identify the assailant.

All people native to Asia are “Asians.” That extends across the entire continent of Asia, therefore would include the area from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean to the Pacific.

Even though Westerners most often refer to Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, etc. as the “Middle East,” it is still Asia.

In the UK, a description of someone as asian would generally refer to someone from Pakistan or that region. If the Sacramento Police are describing the suspects as asian, they are referring to S/E asians like Vietnamese or Cambodian.

I watched the video on local TV and it looked like a brawl. There was a lot of movement but it sure didn’t look like he was being held down. At the end he is shown walking away with what appears to be a large bloodstain on his back.

I am not an expert; this is just my observation.

Or were he and the other guy in Oregon being targeted to cover up a false flag operation they were involved in?

The two individuals in white tee shirts had a slender, short build consistent with East or Southeast Asians but that certainly doesn’t exclude Muslims.

He’s officially “Asian”. Look for the perps to be of the “Palestinian” muslim variety and not the Korean/Chinese/Japanese variety.

Good grief...like the “white shooter” at the college....

Anything is possible at this point with this president and would not surprise me. I’ve never been a tinfoil hat wearing person but with Obama, I can’t rule anything out that he does as he is Evil incarnate.

Set-up?

Set-up is a distinct possibility.

The girl went with the other guys.

She may have been part of the ruse to get the guys involved with Stone.

This was not random.

And neither was Umpqua.
