A 73-year-old Detroit man is behind bars for allegedly attacking a 7-year-old girl with a knife in a city park full of children, slashing her throat in an incident that ended with the child racing home to her mother for help, and the suspect in handcuffs.
“He just like came out of nowhere and just like (pulled) the knife on me,” the girl told Fox 2 News as she sat on a porch step this week with gauze around her neck, explaining how a day at the park with her grandmother turned into a day of horror.
They are saying they can’t prove it’s a hate crime. Just ask him where he keeps his red hat and to really get him, ask foe his opinions on migrants.
Wouldn’t necessarily put this to a political side. Dude was just crazy
Aren’t MAGAs crazy?
Yeah, a crazy, religious, republican white dude that slashed the throat of a brown-skinned girl with a head covering on.
I hate to tell you this, but you can be crazy and politically motivated. The distinction is becoming increasingly difficult to make.
There were dozens of republican “totally not crazy people” calling for a meteorologist to be murdered because she simply reported on the last hurricane, because she was part of the vast, laser-wielding, weather-controlling leftist cabal. A theory propagated by right-wing talking heads and mainstream, right-wing politicians.
Being mentally unstable does not mean racist political motivations somehow “don’t count.” It’s not even always clear what the order of influence is.
Nothing in the article says anything about his politics. I don’t understand why I’m being downvotes
🙄
Because you’re going against the Lemmy hive mind.
Because both sides have extremists. And the liberal extremists live here. Just keep in mind society failed the extremists on both sides. It isn’t entirely thier fault.
Don’t act like you don’t recognize one of your own.
