11 people stabbed. 5 serious condition, 6 critical.
“It appears he was a Michigan resident,” Shea said.
Does… does that really matter?
Shea said that no authorities or first responders were injured.
So you’re saying nobody “important” was injured, aren’t’ya?On the plus side, the assailant not having a firearm meant that the police did not hesitate to intervene.
anytime mass violence happens like this the right has a checklist of what to blame
is he in immigrant?
was he born here?
what color is his skin?
is he muslim?
is he a registered democrat?
is he lgbtq?
when all those fail and its just some white guy then they can conclude that they asked all the right questions so that must mean the attack is a psyop where white gun owners are actually the ultimate victim
Then the NYT runs a sympathetic profile about the isolated loner who just so happens to be exactly the same as the last 10 isolated loners

lmao yeah exactly like that
I think Michigan is the nexus for refugees here isn’t it? So they are fishing for a chance to do some nativism I think
I was last there in ~2017, but Traverse City is one of the whitest places I’ve ever visited.
It manages to be nice in spite of this… Until you get a mile outside of the city area, you’ll see stars and bars Q flags on every other collapsing double wide with “trespassers will be shot” signs at the end of their driveway. The city has a lot of progressive libs in it, and it’s where Michael Moore is from, def worse towns in the state.
Ah yes, the famed confederate state of… Michigan. #HeritageNotHate
extremely telling that reddit is always full of cherry picked isolated incidents of muslims doing “barbaric” things that get thousands of upvotes but not a single post in sight of this mass assault by a white christian terrorist
i’ve been to traverse city. it’s not large, but it’s like the sort of smallish-coastal town with a shitload of short term rentals, because summer time is tourism season and it’s proximate to a lot of recreational shit. the township where this happened is like the sprawly suburban appendage of T-city with like trailer parks and shit. so probably where many of the people bringing tourists their fudge and cleaning up after them live, but also a good amount of detached single family homes for the managers and landlords to be nearby, and even some farmland under likely severe development pressure.
the perfect location for a super walmart, where class tensions can simmer.

Its the Midwest of america, we have nothing except the remains of Scandinavian culture 150 years removed and the osmosis of east coast (we wish it was west so bad tho) for our main culture. T-city is a hip way to say Traverse City.
Traverse City, if I had to guess

Traverse City Sheriff Refuses to Confirm Stabbing Suspect’s Background After Walmart Attack
Traverse City, MI – In the aftermath of the Walmart Stabbing spree at a local Walmart that left 11 people injured, questions are swirling about the suspect’s background. During a press briefing, the Sheriff confirmed that the suspect is “a Michigan resident” but declined to say whether the individual is originally from the Traverse City area. When asked for more specific information about the suspect’s background or nationality, the Sheriff stated: “At this time, I’d rather not comment.”
Witnesses described the attacker as appearing “foreign,” but no official confirmation has been made regarding the suspect’s identity or immigration status. As the investigation continues, authorities have not yet released the name, motive, or further details about the suspect.
They still haven’t released his name. Is his surname Trump or something?
The online rumor mill is pushing the name Douglas Obiedzinski but that’s probably 100% bullshit.
