Alton Nolen killed Colleen Hufford with a large knife at the food plant where they both worked. Then he cut her head off.
The media has labeled this crime "workplace violence". The media doesn't appear to care much about reporting the facts of this case. Why?
Well, Nolen had recently changed his name to Jah'Keem Yisreal after converting to Islam in prison. He also told his coworkers that he "didn't like white people". Colleen Hufford was a white woman.
He tried to kill Traci Johnson, who is also white, but she fought back.

This was potentially terrorism and a hate crime. Looks like white lives don't matter as much as being politically correct does to the media.
 
Is this something new or are you talking about the deal that happened a couple of years ago? I seem to recall that it was (at least at some point) tied to radicalization but that the guy was also fired just before the incident so it wasn't strictly a Jihad thing.

He wasn't fired, he was suspended but was still going to keep his job.
I bring this up because the court proceedings regarding this case are just getting started now, and the media still refuses to acknowledge the terrorism or hate crime implications.
 
If a Muslim commits a crime, it's terrorism, apparently.

Not always, but the following of Mohammad's instructions for the method of execution might be a tip off that there could be more to it than just workplace violence.
 
This was simple murder, regardless of the perp's name change.

It has NOTHING to do with terrorism. :coffeepap:

No link?

Not the media but the FBI.

However, the question here isn’t as simple as a hunch based on reported details. For instance, the FBI uses a specific definition of terrorism in its investigations. In order to be considered a terrorist act, an instance of violence must “appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping.”

And Dylan Roof was church place violence. Give me a break.

Dylan Roof was a psycho racist. I don't call him a terrorist either. :shrug:

I'm not one to use the term "terrorism" for otherwise criminal acts.
 
Is it a racially motivated hate crime? No CNN coverage, no MSNBC coverage, no New York Times coverage. Isn't that odd? The same news outlets that covered the Trayvon Martin case ad nauseum as a racially motivated killing?

The title says "terrorist attack" so I addressed that.

Is it racially motivated? Probably so... but it wasn't a skittle eatin teenage angel that was murdered by a white cop so... it doesn't fit the narrative of the liberal media :shrug:

You could make a much more convincing argument that Roof was a terrorist, given the definition of terrorism, than the Texas Lopper.

All of those outlets covered the incident when it occurred. Why resort to lies when your original premise fell flat?

1 person doesn't make a terrorist attack. And where is the politics?
 
Precisely.

Yea. I mean 1 man can commit an act of terror, but he has to be part of a larger group that "sponsors" him. But nobody pays attention to that stuff anymore.
 
Was the San Bernardino shooting terrorism?

Of course it was not! A few pipe bombs around the house and the couple's Islamist beliefs don't mean a thing. Everyone knows that was just a common crime that had nothing to do with jihadists. Same with the Fort Hood murders several years ago--just an incident of workplace violence. The base commander affirmed that, and obviously he would not have done so if the Commander-in-Chief, President B. Hussein Obama, had not agreed. Does your Islamophobia know no bounds? Next you'll be claiming that Dr. Nidal Hasan had been in touch with Anwar Al-Awlaki, the Al Qaeda jihadist who mentored two of the 9/11 hijackers!

If you keep trying to call attention to jihadist violence instead of doing all you can to cover Muslim jihadists' backsides. I'm going to have to assume you are not much of a leftist America-hater!

As a note. He said originally maybe a few times terrorism OR hate crime.
This was most definitely a hate crime.
I would like a more recent example though considering the age of the case and not remembering what the coverage was/wasn't like at the time (it very well might have just not shown up in media).
I also don't tend to watch mainstream media as a general rule because I like news not sensationalism. Sometimes this means I hear about things or don't hear about things the bigger guys carry (just for clarification on my own being left in the dark).

Does the media, in general, cater to those in charge? I don't know. Considering I have lost most of my love and trust of the media it hardly matters to my own news watching.

The media almost never points to black on white crime as anything more than an unfortunate turn of events.
