Police Try to Determine Gunman's Motive:
Police on Monday were interviewing relatives of an employee at a Safeway Inc. warehouse to try to determine why he opened fire on co-workers and police before he was shot and killed
Police Chief Gerry Whitman said investigators had talked with some members of Ford's family but had not been able to determine a motive.
Doing the usual multi-culture spin trying to avoid being labeled Islamophobic I presume, the authorities are too quick to belittle the fact that Michael Ford, the killer, was a Moslem.
He declined to comment on a television report that Ford, a Muslim, had been teased about his religion at work, saying he had not known Ford's religion
This is the only reference I was able to find concerning Ford as a 'black muslim'.
Little Green Footballs had posted this additional family comment which probably came from a television interview:
His sister said when he came to visit them Sunday morning, he looked scared and nervous but she didn’t know why. She told reporters that his last words to her were, “Allah will decide. I love you.”
Here you have a 22 year old Moslem man with no criminal record who gets along with everyone but who unexpectedly goes 'postal' and the only anomoly is his Islamic religion which the police are not concerned about.
“We don’t have a strong motive yet, and I don’t know if we’ll know that,” Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman said Monday. Whitman said Ford’s religious affiliation wasn’t a concern in the investigation.
Which probably means that the law enforcement people will not investigate the mosque Ford attended or the imam who preached at the mosque. Was Ford a Moslem Manchurian Candidate? Right now one cannot say for sure but what other motive did he have?
