Recent Dearbon Incident Narrative Collapses

The Detroit Free Press: Police: Officers fatally shoot man after Dearborn mosque arson

So Sumdood, name still not officially released, sets a fire at the outside of a Mosque and then takes a shot at police when they show up.  Police perform the appropriate response and dropped him quickly and effectively to the rather cold outside air temperature.

Abed Ayoub, a Dearborn native who's the national legal and policy director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, commended "the quick and rapid response by" Dearborn police. "We trust that all law enforcement agencies who are involved will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause and motivation behind the attack," Ayoub said. 

Well, no.  Expect the media and everyone else including all the politicos who condemned this act as terrorism against a house of worship in the article to immediately lose interest in the incident.

Why?

Because it turns out the attacker was an Arab Muslim who did it for so far unidentified reasons.  No telling if he's a Sunni annoyed at a Shia mosque or anything else so far. Do note that whenever a Muslim attacks a religious institution the first claim is its due to "mental health reasons" -  interesting, that.

Both the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News have failed to update their reporting to reflect that, allowing the false claim that this was a "domestic terrorism" (read right wing or MAGA types incident to fester.

Funny how quick the media & politicians are to jump to conclusions. then when the narritive is proven wrong they quickly lose interest. move along nothing to see here.

Sad state of affairs.
I was born in Dearborn & lived there until I was 13. My family moved up to the Lansing area in 1979
I drive there now & I can only find 2 businesses that were there when I was kid.

I also cannot understand any reason at all for the police to care why this dirtbag did this crime. He did it, he made a bad choice in carrying a gun while doing it, and an even worse choice of shooting at the police when they arrived. The police punched his ticket for him, correctly. And that is all there is. Of course there will be an investigation, to ensure that the police followed procedure, and to ensure that no one has the right to accuse them of racism, ect. But then, it should be over. The police budgets are forever being cut, so they can either put the money they have into patrols, or they can spend in on studies and such. We know where it SHOULD be spent.
