MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Gov. Mark Dayton said he plans to travel to St. Cloud Monday to offer support for the community following the knife attack at a mall that left nine people wounded and a suspect dead.

Authorities say the suspect, who has yet to be identified, attacked several shoppers at the Crossroads Center mall on Saturday night. Police say he mentioned Allah and asked at least one victim if they were Muslim.

“If true that [the stabbings] were motivated by religious bigotry, I condemn them even more strongly,” the governor said in a press release Sunday.

The suspect was shot and killed by an off-duty Avon police officer, identified as Jason Falconer. He was shopping at the mall when chaos broke out.

Dayton said he’s “deeply grateful” to Falconer for his swift response. The governor also offered his support for the nine victims, three of which were still hospitalized on Sunday. None suffered life-threatening injuries.

Right Hillary, thanks for calling.

Liberals advocate tolerance towards those who seek to kill us.


Well said. This is what this boils down to. We are supposed to be tolerant of those who want us dead. How is such tolerance a virtue? To liberals, we are not to slander an entire religion and all that. To liberals, it’s abhorrent for anyone to question whether Islam is compatible with open western societies, or a constitutional republic such as our own.

Hillary summed it up, by saying half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable, racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic. This is how these people think. To say anything against favored grievance groups, such as Muslims, is considered Islamophobic.

I am proudly Islamophobic, in that, I’ve seen what Muslim terrorists do, and I am afraid. So consider me Islamophobic.

I would love to be able to say this to people like Hillary. That I became Islamophobic because I’ve seen what Muslims do, and see their reaction.

Probably like Mike Dukakis in 1988 about the hypothetical rape and murder of his wife. Remember that?

I’m sure all Minnesotans are so happy that all those Somalis have been settled in their state.

I guess I need to apologize again.

A few months ago, I was stopped at a red light in Washington DC and suddenly, the ugliest, scariest sight this side of Nancy Pelosi appeared in my windshield. Al Franken was walking right past my hood.

My right foot began convulsing and threatening to slip off the brake right to the floor of the accelerator pedal. I had to hold it in place with my hand to prevent carnage and forcing me to get a car wash.

I’m sorry.

What a stupid,provocative, prejudiced thing to say! I doubt the vast majority of people are blaming every Muslim! We are not only tolerant but also reasonable, Gov. Bigot.

This guy is just freakin’ dangerous. In a sane nation, he would be arrested and removed.

Absolutely... while serving in the senate there was a terror scare and Dayton was the only one who closed his office for the day. Hence “Governor Yellow” as far as I’m concerned.

The more you tolerate the more you get.

Tolerance is for losers.

No. No more tolerance for Satan’s evil soldiers. Why are Satan’s evil soldiers allowed to live in our country? We do not have to tolerate them. Our children do not have to tolerate them. We need a new national slogan...Deport Demons!

Easy for the governor to say he doesn’t have knife sticking in his throat.

“There are a LOT of people that will start concealed carrying over this kind of stuff.”

I’d be willing to bet that it’s already started.

Heck yes. After years of waffling, my wife and I finally did it a few months ago. I now always have a gun in my car.

How much damn tolerance should you give someon who’s repeatedly trying to kill you? Governor your a weak excuse or a man who’s inviting even more terrorists to attack you. Let people carry after they establish proficiency with their weapon and some tactical training courses (so there is less colateral damage and they will will remove these problems. The belief that only police officers, SWAT teams, and tactical units can remove this scum from the face of the earth is completely false. The myth is only perpetuated out of ego (and “safety issues’; but hell who’s goingo be safe if you have a Muzzie running amok stabbing everyone). Many wars were fought on this this nation’s soil by farmers and blacksmiths.
