The content that the media doesn't cover is stuff they consider too right wing.  Fact of the matter is, the majority of Americans ARE conservative.

It was NOT kept from the general public. It was published in the newspaper. Follow up interviews with others state that the man in question isn't mentally stable.

 

No hidden agendas here. Small desert town. What kind of publicity would you expect or want from this kind of incident?

The Daily Press coming out of Victorville, Ca has a new article about an incident which happened the day before yesterday.  Involves a person from a foreign land and belief.  Let me know what you think.  You can Google Victorville CA News and see the article on the 'incident'. 


 

Adding the link would have been helpful.

Well, I was asking for what you thought.  Victorville isn't as small as you imagine.  Lots of development there and a newer penetentiary not far also brought in more residents.  I kinda think most of certain foreign people her aren't mentally stable but that doesn't make it something to be ignored because of it.

What do I think? I think your underlined statement is completely wrong. I could say that most extremists of any religion are not mentally stable but that wouldn't be correct either.

 

In comparison to towns/cities in the Los Angeles area, Victorville is small. Spread out, yes, but not by population standards.

Being from a family in military and law enforcement I can tell you that every day , all across America and in other countries, radicalized muslims are being arrested and their plots foiled. This is nothing new - since before 9/11.

I have to agree with those who say that this incident is local news and got the coverage it warranted. Things like this happen all the time and it doesn't matter what background they are from. Mentally unstable people cross all borders, educational status, professions and any other criteria you can think of.

Fear-mongering and identifying any group as mentally unstable or possessing certain traits is despicable.

if you can google it and it is published in a newspaper, it is not being hidden or kept a secret.
