Now, now you know that Trump loves people like that because he uses them to do his dirty work.

I think Traverse City is very Republican.

Is he an undocumented immigrant? I would bet NOT since not part of the headline. It would be a lead story otherwise.

😲

In Michigan, where many people legally carry guns, I'm surprised that a shopper didn't blow this guy away.

The weekly ritual of human sacrifices in America. Guns & knives - anything goes to uphold the gods of 2nd Amendment.

He was stopped by an ARMED citizen. You're welcome.

Waaaaay too much Mental Illness in America!!!.. WAAAAAY TOO MUCH!!

It's always a man.

It’s unconfirmed whether he actually wrote it, but that would explain a lot. What concerns me more is that he may have been genuinely deranged. MAGA may be full of assholes but most don’t believe they’re Jesus. Makes you wonder if he was ill and latched onto their nonsense

The police are seeking terrorism charges. The media seems to be more vague than that

Do you ever get the feeling that everything is too much? Everything you read is just horror after horror. And then you check yourself and feel guilty because you’re only reading it. The world should take a day off. Stop being itself for a while.

I'll wager that once they go through the stabber's possessions, they find a rambling pro-Kamala manifesto. (For dense people, this is a joke.)

wtf is wrong with people. Get your life together! What’s the matter your girlfriend breakup with you?😒

Betty White, right? (Say it slower)

Extremely sad & traumatizing Now matter the reasoning, mental illness was clearly a factor cuz sane people don’t go around stabbing other people We should prob spend a like a couple hundred billion less on $hit like ICE detention camps & tax cuts for the rich and invest in mental health resources

💔

Our niece lives in Traverse City along with her husband. We talked to her last night and luckily they were at the beach. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who were involved/injured.

I'm surprised the Trump administration isn't blaming immigrants. BUT....I'm sure it's coming. It's terribly sad for this community.

Another orange felon supporter just making his rounds in America.

Did he bring his own knife? Did he struggle to remove packaging from a knife he took from the store before striking? If either is true then it’s not a random act even if he chose victims at random.

Wait. Another one??

I does include me. Short of the spin part.

Why do so many people constantly use words like These people commenting……some people might be but only some of them. THESE covers all of the people commenting. Not all comments are irresponsible!!!

Sigh, just another day in the good ol US of A. Can’t see ever setting foot in there again in my lifetime

Wish we would stop using the term "random" just to avoid having to explain complex causality

The black guy is who subdued him. With sideways held gun.

Alive=white?

Only positive thing out of this story is the fact that he used a knife instead of a rifle or guns. 11 seriously injured instead of 11 dead.

Another *man*. It's always a man.

Traverse City does that to people.

Fuck the Post

Wow, and I have CNN on and have heard nothing about this stabbing until a friend of mine in Michigan just told me?

Walmart allows homeless to stay in there parking lots. It’s common everywhere. I’ve been to that Walmart and many others in northern Michigan. Lots of down and out living off the land kind of people. .

I hope everyone will be ok.

Traverse City is the last place in Michigan I would guess something like this happening. It is a beautiful town in a beautiful place. Peaceful (except during the cherry festival). Insanity reigns everywhere now. It never ends.

This guy carrying a gun held him until cops got there. Nowhere on this thread are you getting the information.

understandable

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say it's a random act of violence on behalf of Trump and all GOP Republican voters. Random Act of violence. Give it up with the BS. It's a pre-coup. It's gonna get worse.

An America of too few Random Acts of Kindness; replaced by too many random acts of cruelty! MAGA's idea of "G" Great, "A" Again. Where is this Greatness? In CF34's big bad bill? In the Masked, Armed, Unidentified, Gestapo, Thugs running our streets capturing the Worst of the Worst?!? GIVE US A BREAK

I wonder if that’s an initiation act to join one of Michigan’s Militia groups?

Again.

F**k Bezos

The Washington post isn’t reporting anything more about the man. Wonder why?

Or anyone with brown skin

Nor a trans athlete, or DACA recipient.

Walmarts have long been known to be the refuge of psycho people. This was inevitable and not an isolated case. It’s like going to a convenience mart in a sketchy part of town at 2 am

Walmart vs Waffle House. Which one has the brawlingest customers?

I hear a civilian with a gun stopped him.

I guarantee that the perpetrator was a dRUMPf Nazi republikkkan

Is “random act of violence” the new euphemism for male fragility now?

Washington Post, please STOP kissing Trump's farting ass in the Opinion section. That is a DISGRACE. Every time that a major media outlet cowers in fear of that orange POS, it puts ALL of us in a little more danger.

A White man who’s claimed to be Jesus 😑

Random act or some violent a-hole the police already knew about who this time decided to take the violence to the next level.

#WaPo needs to run a paragraph on stochastic terrorism every fucking time this happens and stop pretending they’re shielding 8 year-olds from watching a car accident. #WaPoEmbracestheDarkness

Terrible!!

Do we need to suggest the racial makeup of the stabber, it's not like we don't know already 🤔😏

Clean up on aisle nine

Pretty sure that is not what I said. I am familiar with Chicago, love the traffic. Very much like where I grew up in Detroit.

What is the value of human life? A random act?

If anyone decides to go on a stabbing spree, its anything other than "random"

what happened to #Murica’s #Open arry #Fetishists? Weird, how these #SuperHeroFantasists need a #BatSignal when these lunatics fucking Legion in the streets any other time

🥺💔

Exactly - he will be described as a “lone wolf with mental health issues” rather than as the Trump supporting far right terrorist that he is…. 🙄😒🤦🏻‍♂️

Clarence Thomas and Ginny camp in Wal Mart parking lots, could have been him.

White guy with a history of drug use, but prosecutors are trying for terrorism charges, which doesn’t track… www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

If detained, White man. Again

No mention in the post of the fact that he was subdued and held by a citizen with a legal firearm until police arrived.

Wapo, as usual doesn't have the balls to tell us what we already know. Fuck you, and fuck BEZOS!

One of Project 2025 and Trump’s largest donors- Walmart. Along with Amazon and Tesla, the new Russian Oligarchs

we hate too much.

Nah I think that’s just an excuse. Many were raised with shitty behavior drilled into them through society and their guardians.

Not raised correctly. Never taught to control those emotions. Drugs don’t help.

Governor Whitmer please use another means of communicating other than XTwitter…many of us don’t want to deal with a company as irresponsible as it has proven to be…

While the police are taught that "constant and random application of violence" Is the best way to "maintain control", most of us are not. Probably wasn't random. May not have been rational but I doubt random Very much.

LWIAROTIAD syndrome (Lone Wolf If A Republican, Organized Terrorism If A Democrat)

Is America finally great again?

😱 random. Wait until the ethnicities of the victims and the perpetrator come out!

Random implies unpredictable. I think not.

Let me know when Trump cancels the election. Until then, he’s just fulfilling campaign promises.

Facts do not matter to them.

If he didn’t use the weapon, then the gun didn’t stop him.

Why you all so racist?

I thought that might have been the objective but somehow I missed it!!

Sorry I stressed you! I was being dark.

Sarcasm I hate guns.

He probably couldn't afford to buy one.

Bet ya it was an angry middle-aged white guy…

The violence that regularly occurs in the US astounds me!

11? That seems like it is relatively rare in melee situations. Once he stabbed a couple people, did a bunch of brave people try to stop him by dog piling him?

Was he from Guatemala or Honduras?

Whether the news makes it out as a random act or not, the police are seeking terrorism charges

abcnews.go.com/US/3-killed-...

It's not random. It's a symptom of a society's ills, the way it treats its people and their problems. It's definitely not "random".

The fact that they have not named him tho they knew his age to release it yesterday tells you two things. 1. He is not white. 2. He is not MAGA.

The guy is alive so he’s probably white

and why is "random" in quotes?
