No gun, no headline. That's all.

If it were a while male with a gun, every paper and website would have it plastered over the front page. White House would be talking about it. If the victims were black, then you'd have the poverty pimps/race baiters al and jesse "preaching" about it.

Nope, no agenda or double standard there.

Because people, people who can vote, are dumb enough to buy into the media's agenda.

Umm, no but some ended up with lacerations with a 10in blade hunting knife, collapsed lungs and other minor injuries lasting a lifetime. But no, nobody died.

No, Faisal Mohammad is the reason. If he was Derek Williams III you’d hear more.

Apparently not. Why should some small assault make the news when every week dozens are killed in mass shootings?

'Manifesto' found on UC Merced stabbings suspect - CNN.com

Even this report is incomplete. They say nothing about his parents or anything about his past.
Terrorism

You mean, man made disaster, as that is what Obama & Co have renamed it. Just like the "war on terrorism" was renamed "overseas contingency plan".

Obama, Hillary, Pelosi and the other left wing loons think that by not calling acts of terrorism by what they really are, it will somehow not inflame people.
While that may be true for the low information voters, hopefully the majority of intelligent people will still hold them accountable during the next election. That is assuming of course we are in the majority, which is becoming more and more in doubt.

First of all, the intention was to kill. So just because this jihadist was incompetent, it does not take away from his intention to kill in the name of his religion.

As to the "weekly mass shootings", FBI stats do not bear out your claim.
Still I understand your point. You could even compare it to the daily killings in the inner city slums with the gun & knife clubs who ply their trades against each other.
However there is a vast difference between those "routine" killings and the threat we face with radicalized Muslim/Islamic terrorists.
By some accounts this was a fairly normal guy who suddenly started to watch and obsess over ISIS videos.
Why we allow such things to be broadcast in our country is beyond me as it results in these wackos going into full on jihad mode, and potentially killing innocent people who otherwise live a fairly safe life.

Even though the attack was with a knife, his intent was to commander a policeman's gun. Remember the mixed white/Asian guy in Santa Barbara who shot up the people on campus because he couldn't get girls? His face and manifesto were plastered everywhere and discussed for days. This incident at UC Merced barely made a blip. And then there's this from the sheriff:

Asked if the manifesto made any references to Allah, Warnke said there were, but dismissed any suggestion that Mohammad was motivated by religion.

“His belief was through the Muslim faith, but there’s nothing to indicate anything other than that,” Warnke said. “It’d be like a Christian referring to the Lord Jesus.”

That's from Attacker. Right. He talks about Allah in his manifesto to kill innocent people, but this wasn't motivated by religion. They really think we're stupid! No mention either of who this kid's parents are, where they're from, how long he and his family have been here, what they do for a living, the usual background stuff they dig up when these things occur.

I'm surprised he isn't invited to the White House like that kid who made a clock to look like a bomb, LOL.

They only care when there's a white police officer and a black criminal. Obviously there is no other crime, and the only "bad guys" in the world are white cops...
