9 hurt, 4 critically, as man stabs refugee families at Boise low-income apartments

https://www.idahostatesman.com/latest-news/article214144964.html

Refugee families at a low-income apartment complex were attacked Saturday night by a man who stabbed nine people — more than any other attack in Boise's history, police said. Four of them suffered injuries that police called life-threatening.

A 30-year-old man was quickly taken into custody at gunpoint, police said. All of the victims were taken to a hospital.

Boise Police Chief Bill Bones hinted that some victims may be children: "The age range of the victims varies dramatically, and it's affected all aspects of the families within the apartments," he said.

The motive for the attack was not immediately known, and neither was the relationship between the suspect and the victims, Bones said at an 11 p.m. news conference. It also was not immediately clear whether all of the victims were refugees.

1. They have arrested a man. African American.

2. Jesus more than half may be children

Kinner is not a refugee, police said. No motive was known, but police said that Kinner was a temporary resident at the apartment complex and had been asked to leave on Friday.

Kinner, from Los Angeles, was being held without bail on Sunday morning at the Ada County jail on 15 charges, including six of injury to a child and nine of aggravated battery, jail records showed.

Some of the victims were in apartments and others were in a parking lot, Boise Police Chief Bill Bones told reporters.

3. What a lovely individual.

Apparently, it is not just white people who have a problem with refugees.

6. How do you know he had a problem with refugees ? Sounds like revenge for

Being kicked out.

[mythology]

8. My guess is he will have conflated the refugees and him being kicked out

18. Who specifically is arguing that?

"it is not just white people who have a problem with refugees."

Who specifically is arguing that? <insert vague response which avoids any direct answer in favor of equivocations, allegations and a dramatic lack of any evidence at all to support it>

[Tipperary]

19. Um, there was a thread here quite recently saying how white people could not handle refugees.

Use your search function.

20. As I thought.

Good try, though. Hat tip for the attempt.

9. That is a lot of damage to be done with a knife. Sounds like a rage rampage.

Easy to guess that it is related to the being asked to vacate - either directly - or indirectly as in behaviors exhibited that led the to expulsion. Regardless. Horrific.

I hope that the victims receive the care and the support needed in the aftermath. Again, this is horrific.

4. Kicked

5. This thread will get no traction.

It’s gonna be completely ignored, and we all know why.

I hate hypocrisy.

[JI7]

7. What's the hypocrisy ?

[cwydro]

15. That's just a bit disingenuous, don't you think.

If a white man had done this horrid crime, this thread would have blown up with hundreds of posts.

[B2G]

16. And he was taken alive.

Narrative, out the window.

[cwydro]

17. Excellent point.

Spot on.

10. The stabbing was at a birthday party for a kid. He was staying with a woman

But she had asked him to leave.

11. Sick

[Tipperary]

12. Absolutely.

Male rage at rejection most likely. But who knows?

[salin]

14. My earlier guess was it sounded like a rage rampage.

Which fits your suggestion.

Terrible scenario - so much trauma that is likely to remain for years.

Glad the perp was stopped, caught and is in custody.
