Here we go again, folks: once again, it’s time to play the legacy media’s favourite game: Nothing to Do with Islam!©
As always, you know the rules: let’s see how many lies and evasions the legacy media and the police can tell about one incident.
First off, our carry-over champs, with an impressive, unbroken, run of big, fat porkies, are the ABC and Victoria Police.
Police believe an alleged random stabbing outside a Melbourne shopping centre was related to mental health issues rather than terrorism.
A 44-year-old man was stabbed in the chest and neck outside Moonee Ponds Central shopping centre on Homer Street about 4:35pm on Monday after an alleged argument with a 55-year-old man.
The Age tried their best, but accidentally let go a small slip that’ll see them penalised on points.
Police were called to Homer Street outside Moonee Ponds Central at about 4.35pm after a verbal argument between two males escalated. Police allege a 55-year-old Fitzroy man, Abdulalim Taher, produced a knife and stabbed a 44-year-old man from Essendon.
Footage of the incident shows three adults, one of whom police say was the victim, restraining the man and bringing him to the ground before police arrived. On Tuesday, police charged Taher with intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury and assault with a weapon.
Tsk, tsk. Must have been the work experience kid’s day. After all, every seasoned legacy media journalist knows that you never, ever, give the suspect’s name if it’s at all ‘ethnic’, let alone of an obviously ‘Middle Eastern’ persuasion.
And absolutely do not let slip that the perp uttered the magic words.
Speaking on Monday evening, Acting Inspector Raj Tillekeratne said […] that while the phrase “Allahu Akbar” was used by the offender after he was in custody, police do not believe it was said during the attack itself, and there is nothing to indicate that any ideology is the motive behind the attack.
Let the pros at the ABC show them how it’s done:
Police say they are attributing the incident to mental health issues, despite the accused man shouting a religious phrase during his arrest that prompted the counterterrorism unit to be briefly called in.
See that, cadet? “Religious phrase” – now, that’s how you do it.
“Mental health issues” is a pretty good effort, too. After all, your average legacy media punter is going to completely miss that mental health issues and terrorism are not mutually exclusive.
The Australian’s effort, by contrast, is decidedly amateur-hour.
Bystanders have performed a dramatic citizen’s arrest after a man was stabbed outside a Melbourne shopping centre, restraining the alleged attacker until police arrived.
Emergency services were called to Homer Street in Moonee Ponds about 4.35pm on Monday following reports of an altercation between two men.
It is understood the men were seen arguing before one allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the other in the neck and chest […]
Witness Liam Clifford told 7News the man appeared to start saying Allahu Akbar once restrained by police.
“He was calling it over and over again, he just wouldn’t stop.”
Oh, come on, Oz: it’s like you’re not even trying.
No wonder the ABC is winning by a long streak, with splendid dodges like this one:
After an alleged argument with a 55-year-old man.
“Alleged argument”? Do they mean this?
Footage of this incident shows a man charging at the offender with a chair outside Lil Kitch café, before a number of others inside the café rushed to help, removing the knife from the man’s hand as locals fled.
But that’s just the Age letting too much fact slip through the net, again.
Leave it up to rank amateurs like that and people might start thinking it really is Something to Do with Islam.
We can’t have that.
