craig 680 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 http://kdvr.com/2015/02/17/police-suspect-hate-crime-in-stabbings-at-detroit-area-bus-stop/ DETROIT  The stabbings of two people at a Detroit-area bus stop began with what police said was a simple question: Are you Muslim? Terrence Lavaron Thomas, 39, was arraigned Tuesday on assault with intent to murder, d--g possession and weapons charges in the Saturday night bus shelter stabbings in Southfield, Michigan. One of the victims, a male in his 50s, was stabbed five times in the face and neck and three times in the upper back, Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. The other victim, also a man in his 50s, was stabbed in the hand when he tried to intervene in the assault. The two men, whose injuries were not life threatening, were treated for their injuries and released, police said. The three men did not know one another. Hawkins said Thomas asked a group of people waiting for a bus whether they were Muslim. When two people responded that they were not, Hawkins said, Thomas allegedly “became upset by that answer, saying he was Muslim and it was not acceptable that they were not.†The Federal Bureau of Investigation was involved in the investigation of possible hate crimes, Hawkins said.

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How are these extremists not screened before entering this country? If someone just snaps over a question like that I am sure there is a way to expose them during a screening process. Mess. :madge: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemiya 61 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Disgusting. How are these extremists not screened before entering this country? If someone just snaps over a question like that I am sure there is a way to expose them during a screening process. Mess. :madge: Extremism is formally categorized as terrorists, like al-qaeda, taliban, hamas, etc. This man was not a terrorist, so it's not formally categorized as that. He was just another "angry muslim". Apparently they can kill anyone who they don't like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsn 1,669 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So when a muslim person attacks others, it's a hate crime, but when the white man shot and killed 3 muslim students recently it was "an argument over a parking space" (not defending him, just pointing out how the media is **** and can't be trusted to report things fairly and without bias) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe it is extremism because he believes that everyone should be Muslim and he felt this violence was justified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Sings 1,705 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Disgusting.

Apparently they can kill anyone who they don't like. You're saying that like he got away with it. He'll go to prison like he should. There's no way anyone could have predicted something like this unless he had clear signs of mental issues, which I wouldn't be shocked by due to his actions or his d--g possession charge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media is ****ed up but anyone with a brain of their own knows that. I'm not defending the media, I guess I'm just defending myself against the statement "white man".
