  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Man slashes woman's throat on city bus in Tulsa

Tulsa Police say a man slashed a woman's throat on a city bus Sunday afternoon.
ktul.com ktul.com

Witnesses, including the bus driver, told police that Rhoades and the 43-year-old victim boarded the bus at the Walmart stop at 81st and Lewis. Rhoades sat directly behind her, and they had no prior interactions or verbal exchanges. As the bus arrived at the main station, Rhoades reached around and allegedly assaulted the victim by slicing her throat before leaving the scene.

He is also being held on a fugitive warrant out of Missouri.

Man, idk why Fox and the NY Post aren’t all over this one. Maybe it’s because the victim didn’t die. Maybe it’s because her attacker is white and a fugitive from a red state. Who knows?

It's going back a few years (to Trump 1.0), but this made no more than a ripple in the national news cycle, and certainly not much of a cause celebre.

2017 Portland train attack - Wikipedia

Men protecting Muslim women from bullying are stabbed, killed, in Portland

Witnesses told KATU’s Joe Douglass the stabbing suspect was hurling racial insults at two women with dark skin, one of whom was wearing a headdress. Two men who came to the woman’s defense had their throats slashed by the suspect, witnesses said.
www.christianforums.com www.christianforums.com

[Oregon Senator] Merkley urged President Trump to "speak out personally against the rising tide of Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry and racism in our nation that he has provoked through his numerous statements, policies and appointments"

President Trump delayed commenting on the stabbing attack, leading to public pressure on him to do so. Later, a message was posted on Trump's presidential Twitter account, stating "The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them."

Fox local reported it like ABC local reported it. Yet mainstream media like MSNBC, CNN, CBS, AP, Washington Post etc didn't. They were all over the Charlott, NC stabbing but not this. Perhaps it's because the perpetrator in the Tulsa stabbing hadn't already been arrested 14 times? Who knows?

Local outlets in NC also covered the stabbing at the time.

That’s not correct. Of the national outlets that covered it early, Fox had one unremarkable while NY Post covered it a couple times. Then the right wing rage machine caught wind of it and everybody picked it up.

He’s got a warrant in MO, so he’s been arrested for something before. I’m skeptical that a guy who could snap and stab a stranger will have never run into the cops before.

Crime has always have happened. I don't see why people are shocked. I'm more shocked that this made it on the news.
