“When people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news-sources accordingly”

Thomas Sowell

What the media doesn’t tell you:

Last week, an Islamic domestic terrorist forcibly stole a knife from a local Target store in Santa Monica, CA and then promptly used it to murderously attack a uniformed LEO at the doorway of the local police station.

The officer was injured, but managed to break-away from the attacker and then fatally engage him with gunfire (from his duty pistol) as the suspect attempted to resume his deadly attack.

I counted seven shots (from the video) before the suspect decided he didn’t want to fight any more.

We can hear the attacker muttering a Muslim prayer as he was dying.  This indicates to me that this attack had a religious motivation.

Yet, no mention of the above can be found in any news report.

The media did say this attacker was twenty-eight years old and “a resident New York State”

“Resident of New York State” is so general as to be laughable!

No discussion of motive, nor immigration status, of this would-be murderer.

I suspect they know both only too well, but to honestly report truth violates their woke agenda!

The Target Store where this suspect stole the knife employed at least one uniformed, but unarmed, “security guard”

The presence of that security guard obviously did nothing to deter this suspect from attacking a store employee minutes after entering the store.  He violently rips a package of knives from her hand, knocking her down in the process.  He then calmly walks out of the store without any interference.

Curious that Target’s published “store policy” is summarized by:

“We respectfully request that guests not bring firearms to Target, even in communities where it’s permitted.”

So, even “security guards” are unarmed.

Like leftist politicians, woke executives up the food-chain at Target obviously don’t trust “ordinary citizens,” even their own employees, with guns (nor for that matter, with any species of individual freedom).

Even now, the injured (nearly murdered) officer is being accused of “over-reacting!”

“One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before, and proved disastrous before, time and again.”

Thomas Sowell, again
