We were like, "Jeez, that's awful." And then we were like, "Wow, Pam Atlas is going to go cawing off her perch trying to tie it to Muslims." Maybe you've already heard this story:
Man Stabbed, Decapitated on Bus in Manitoba
July 31 (Bloomberg) -- A man in Canada was stabbed to death and decapitated on a Greyhound bus by a stranger in the seat beside him, the Globe and Mail reported.
We were like, "Jeez, that's awful." And then we were like, "Wow, Pam Atlas is going to go cawing off her perch trying to tie it to Muslims."
And then we were like, "Nah, Pam and all those people have gotten more careful lately. They're not as gullible as they used to be."
Right?
Man Beheaded on a Canada Bus

UPDATE: I emailed the reporter. The police have not released the name of the beheader or the victim or if the victim was wearing some identifiable religious symbol BUT there are a lot maniacs out that to lunatic shiz. DEVELOPING STORY.
UPDATE: Waiting for verification of details on who and why. Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day called the attack bizarre, but did not discuss details, saying he did not want to jeopardize the investigation.
Um, yeah.
There are indeed a lot maniacs out that to lunatic shiz. But it seems to us as though there's one more maniac that to lunatic shiz since Pam arrived on the case.
Or maybe several. Let's look at her comments:
Even if the offender wasn't muslim, it can still be traced to them.
When anyone does something, whose blamed? Hollywood and video games. If they're seriously blamed, I'm sure a certain group is responsible for embedding the idea of doing this into peoples heads. If there weren't so many beheadings, and video's all the time, I don't think the thought or idea to do it by hand would be in most peoples minds! If a non-islamic person strapped bombs onto themselves, where did they get the inspiration from?
Like Abbas said, he taught the world terrorism.

D'oh!
Compounding the tragic fun is the way in which, in one short comment thread, they manage to conflate the victim (who was aboriginal) with the assailant (who is of unspecified ethnicity) and to blame the incident on 'aboriginal gangs'; to blame Muslims (as above); to properly correct the ethnic misidentification'; and to end up in a reverse-double backflip, claiming that the very fact that the assailant's ethnicity and religion are unspecified stands as evidence that his Muslamitude is being concealed by PC dhimmi liberals and the jihad-sympathizers in the media. ......(more)
