Last night, we heard that authorities had captured the suspect for the mass shooting in the Cascade mall in Washington near Seattle. There were few details. The suspects name was not released. Then this morning, we learned his name and some details about him. He is a 20 year old immigrant from Turkey named Arcan Cetin; he came here as a child with his family. He is not a US citizen. The news stories still say that Cetin's motive is "unknown".
Think about that. When the shooting first occurred, the media blasted non-stop that the suspect was Hispanic. The photos did not make him look particularly Hispanic. My reaction was that he looked more Middle Eastern, but the photos are blurry and it is hard to tell. There were no witnesses who said he sounded particularly Hispanic. Remember, this is a guy who has lived in the USA for 13 years since he was 7; he almost certainly has no defining accent, and certainly doesn't have the accent of a Spanish speaker. So why was America fed the lie that the shooter was Hispanic? The media also told us repeatedly that no one thought that the attack was "terrorism". Five people shot at random, but no one suspected terrorism. That is what is known as willful blindness.
Even today, not one article that I have read mentions that the shooter's family is Moslem. I don't know for a fact that they are Moslems; I do know that over 99% of all Turks are Moslem, however, so it is a pretty good bet that Cetin was raised as a Moslem. Why is there no coverage of that fact? Of course, we all know the answer. Indeed, when I saw the headlines that read "Shooter Identified" instead of telling us who the shooter was, I knew that there would be a white washing of the story in the media.
It's truly infuriating. But it's more than that; it is also extremely dangerous. A Moslem youth goes into a mall and shoot five people at random, and the media does all it can to make it a non-terrorist attack by some Hispanic guy. That's crazy. What if it is an attack by a terror cell? Shouldn't the police and FBI be looking for the rest of the cell? Shouldn't the public be warned? Instead, we get politically correct lies.
Look, I understand that the last thing most of the mainstream media wants to report the day before the first presidential debate is a terror attack by a Moslem immigrant to this country. After all, that might help Donald Trump, and they can't have that. Nevertheless, the political correctness has just got to stop. America needs to know the truth so that we can deal with reality. We just cannot live in a politically correct fantasyland. Reality will still be there.
