Probably just some (white) lunatic.

We'll see.
Now that they're getting desperate, I'm pretty sure there's someone there from DC carrying a couple brand new "team deplorable" shirts to place on whoever they arrest.

Yes but you see, there are bad guys and there are good guys, there are bad blunders and there are good blunders, there is bad friendly fire and there is good friendly fire. Just ask any politician or army spokesperson and they will agree

Daesh claims responsibility for knife attack at Minnesota mall. FBI still investigating the attacker though. Just glad he is dead!

To be fair, Daesh claims responsibility for most things so I tend to take them with a truck of salt.

What does "taking responsibility" mean anyway?

Nothing, and it does not matter who uses this empty phrase, being it politicians or terrorists.

That's true, but like I said the FBI is still investigating the attacker. I don't care if he was inspired by Daesh, as long as that POS is dead, that's all that matters,lol

The wannabe-murderer who attacked nine people in Minnesota with a knife, is claimed by media close to the IS to be - or better: to have been - an IS activist.

Can you elaborate?
I wouldn't say it means nothing.

If they just claim it because whatever, sure, it is meaningless.
But if the person really were in contact with them, influenced, instructed and supported maybe, then I'd say it does matter, wouldn't you?

Accepting or claiming responsibility:

An element of punishment is what it is about. The politicians who not only leaves an office but accepts to be held legally viable at court for whatever he claims he takes responsibility. The terror organisation or the criminal who make themselves targets of military, lethal retaliation for the crime they confessed to.

Somebody being hindered to continue with his doing, somebody not being elected once again, or leaving office - that is not what it is about, such "accpeting of responsibility" is just empty phrasing.

A criminal is not already being held responsible just because he gets arrested and thus hindred form repeating or continuing his crime. That he gets sentenced and must endure the penalty for the crime - that is what means he is being held responsible for something. Penalty, damage compensation and prevention are three totally different things.

Politicians most of the time never are being held responsible for anything. They are just changing the office for their political career, and even if they are kicked out of politics, which rarely happens only, they are being paid hilarious ammounts of money for their "expertise" or for holding speeches or lectures. Same is true for business lobbyists, and major business leaders. Usually they must not fear to be held accountable with their private property for their decisions, or that they are being sent to jail. The copnsequences of their misdxeeds only must be shouldered, endured, paid for by the people.

Where this personally punishing element lacks, "claiming responsibility" only is about making sound waves in the air. Its meaningless.

Same about forgiveness, and apologies. Before there maybe will be forgiveness, there must be confessing of guilt. Before confessing guilt, there must be remorse. Before there can be remorse, there must be insight. Without insight, remorse, confession of guilt, and accepting responsiblity, an excuse is a worthless waste of time, an offence of the receiver, at best the speaker is aiming at securing an opportunistic deal at court or an opportunistic advantage for their goals in life.

The attacker in Minnesota was a 22 year old Somali. We have one of the largest Somali communities in the country around the Twin Cities. Have had a number of them go to Somalia to fight in that war, plus a number of them have been arrested and are facing federal charges of trying to go to the ME to join a terrorist organization , some have been found guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
To say this 22 year old Somali couldn't be inspired by Daesh is nonsense. He yelled the Akbar nonsense before he started stabbing people, and asked some if the were Muslim, before he stabbed them. An off duty cop shot and killed him, sure glad he was there to end it before he stabbed anyone else.

Since he is a U.S. citizen, He should be tried for treason, stripped of his citizenship, and hung. But that won't happen. It will be 3-4 years before He goes to trial and another 10-20 before he is executed if by some chance he is given the death penalty.
