The Smiling Stabber: Man Who Wounded 4 In Stabbing Attack At UC Merced Identified As Freshman, Faisal Mohammad

Totes Homo For Allah

From the Merced Sun Star:
The UC Merced student who wounded four people in a stabbing spree at the campus has been identified as Faisal Mohammad, a freshman student from Santa Clara. Merced Couty Sheriff Vern Warnke confirmed the identity of the 18-year-old student to the Sun-Star early Thursday. 
Mohammad was shot and killed by UC Merced police just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning as he ran from the two-story classroom building where investigators said his violent spree began. 
Warnke said investigators, including the FBI, were still trying to determine the motive for Mohammad’s attack, which wounded two students, a female student advisor and a construction worker who was on campus for a remodeling project. The four suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
From the Daily Mail:
A student who ‘smiled’ as he stabbed four people inside a classroom at the University of California, Merced, before he was killed by police has been identified. 
Faisal Mohammad, a freshman from Santa Clara who majored in computer science and engineering, was shot dead by officers after his violent campus rampage on Wednesday morning. 
The 18-year-old, described as antisocial by his roommate, was supposedly ‘having fun’ as he lunged at his classmates with a hunting knife before a construction worker thwarted the attack. 
Police are still investigating the contents of a backpack he was carrying at the time, while a witness said a bomb squad detonated something near the scene.

Chancellor Dorothy Leland sought to reassure families that their children would be safe at UC Merced.

"This was a tragic accident, a tragic event, OK? But the person who caused this event will no longer be able to cause an event in the future," she said. SNIP

An ACCIDENT?

It looks to me as if that quote "it was a tragic accident" has been removed from every news story on the internet.

If you google it it shows up, but when you go to the various stories, that line has been removed.

We live in a very Orwellian world.

Phrase was removed, huh?

I'm not surprised. For a long time now, I've been concerned that much of what we are writing will disappear.
