Hope he's not too badly injured. I wonder if its another cult of death follower who's done it?

Added, looks like he's alive and stable thankfully.

how do you muslim stabbing, when it says it happened near a bar. Sounds like a pissed up fight gone bad.

If you mean how I know it was a muslim stabbing, I don't hence the "I wonder" - he is after all a bit of a target after what he did isn't he?

The BBC report says he is stable, but then "Investigators said on Thursday they did not expect Mr Stone to survive the attack in Sacramento and initially treated the crime as a homicide"??

Now being reported as protecting a female friend when something kicked off.

Probably feared the worst initially?

I should hope it is, the first thing popped into my head was some religious nutcase did it given he was plastered all over the news for preventing another nutter (of Muslim persuasion) from shooting loads of people.

If it turns out it was just a bar fight then so be it, doesn't stop my initial thoughts being what they were.

Same as when I see news of a school shooting in the USA, I immediately suspect it'll be some deadbeat goth/loner/white middle class wker that's gone and done it.

Thankfully George Orwells fiction isn't reality just yet and the thought Police won't be carting me off to the ministry for elimination just yet

As a side note when the Amercian Sniper (Chris Kyle) was murdered I immediately thought it must have been a terrorist killing. In that case I was wrong again. It's called a preconception, good or bad we all have them.

It gives the sad bd pedantics like you something to make you life feel that tiny bit better.

You can rise above someone who missed a word, any intelligent person would see my error and just move on, but highlighting it make supremly smug life golden, I think you can just fk off.

I wasn't mocking you for the error, more the poster that mocked you yet erred himself. But thanks for the sentiment, I think you can go eat a bag of dicks.

It's the same thing thankyou very much. Check the definitions.

Again, we all have preconceptions/prejudice. Wouldn't be human if we didn't.

It's called trend analysis.

A lack of reading ability plus a desire to jump to conclusions ?

The Beeb website says (pretty clearly) that he was attacked whilst defending a friend (ergo HE wasn't the target) . The cops then say it wasn't terrorism related or linked to what happened in France.
