A knifeman who stabbed nine people at a Minnesota shopping centre at the weekend has been identified by his father as a 22-year-old student.

Dahir A Adan is a Kenyan-born ethnic Somali who had been in the US for 15 years, his father told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

He said he had "no suspicion" that his son was involved in extremist activity.

Authorities have not identified the attacker.

But Ahmed Adan said police had told him at around 9pm on Saturday that his son died at the mall.

A student of jihad, no doubt.

An ‘A’ student, loves his girlfriend, and played sports I’m sure.

How could this have happened? Must be those, those haters!

Taqiyya

In other words, more muslim BS.

Is dead Islamic terrorist. Send his dead carcass and currently alive family home to wherever they are from. Do it today (so that dead carcass can be disposed of according to their Islamic cult). Be rid of them in the US.

Let’s go through the list - he loved America, had a heart of gold, would help anybody, was really looking forward to his studies, loved his momma, turning his life around, no idea how this happened

Did I miss anything?

Yep, another good boy who was not in any trouble.

Yep, he was a model young man. A model student. A model citizen.

Except for this whole knifing incident, he was a fine young man.

Yep, we don’t want his sudden jihad attack to be the only thing we remember him for. Yadda yadda yadda.

A “student,” just like the 9/11 hijackers.

Used to be that mass killers pretty much fit a profile. They were often a loner, cut off from social contact, and not affiliated with anyone else.

Now they’re run of the mill people who actually blend in. They’re connected to others, participating in normal social endeavors, going to work school or other participatory. activities.

Once again, diversity, it’s to die for...

They know. You can’t not know. They get wrapped up in the propaganda, get connected with people who encourage him and then they pop.
That’s why they always destroy the hard drive

I suspect so. Trump was also right about dealing with the terrorist’s families.

If his own father can’t tell (and isn’t lying) then all of them need to go. You can’t consider a single one of them safe to walk the streets.

The poor boy was asking for directions to the snack bar and those bad people in the mall ignored him. There was a knife just lying around and he was overcome with justified anger as a result of his extreme hunger. He felt bad about what he did, but the cop didn’t give him a chance to apologize and shot him in cold blood.
