    Oh, it’s in Traverse City? Yeah I’d probably go insane if I lived up there, too. Shit’s wildly expensive and everyone’s conservative AF. Beautiful city though.

      The guy seems very proactive. 11 people? Where they sleeping? Maybe they’re all waiting in line and the guy jumped on a rolling cart. Then with a swift arcade style motion of the arm…stabby stab stab!..11 people stabbed.

      Wouldn’t each person scream like a deranged goat? So you would hear an incoming cart (at which point I would turn around to see) then aaah! Eeeh! Ouch! Whataaaah! Jada Jada Jada… You’re screaming.

        He was dressed as a greeter, as people would leave the store he would check their receipt and give one quick shank.

    Yeah, shooter here, stabber there… But nobody writes about their reasoning. Not so clickbaity? Or nobody can actually figure out why?

      Well when you put a stigma on mental health and you cause a lot of misery with your policies this will happen. Add in climate people are more aggressive when they are hot, and financial uncertainty this is a recipe for disaster.

        My guess is the suspect in custody is a white (likely Christian) male.

        So you claim that being a white male is the reason, my racist “friend”?

          You mean discriminatory, not racist. It’s not possible to be racist towards white people in a country where white people are the oppressors.

          A white male committing a crime drives less clicks. If a Muslim is in custody, we would be seeing more media coverage. If it’s white male in custody less coverage. Media cares about race/religion, I do not.

            Why did you bring up the race question then? I was talking about the reasons for the assault and the lack of public explanation of those reasons.

              Its how the media works my dude. They’re mostly owned by fatcat billionaires. Its largely probably not even about clicks at this point as it is about finding groups to “other” your viewers/readers into being afraid of.

              If people started hearing about how the largest demographics are going insane because rich people want more money then even the really racist people might start asking questions.

              Maybe the reason that the news outlets are not chasing the reason for this crime is because of the race or religion of the man in question. Intra-race crimes get less clicks therefore less coverage.

      You can see him in the parking lot video. The guy looks EXTREMELY disheveled. I’d be giving him a real wide berth if I were in a store with him.

    How many were stabbed at walmart and how many at man in custody? (My brain had way too much trouble with this headline for a few seconds).
