 Ohio State Attack -- Motive still a big mystery to Authorities. Duh!

An Ohio State University student posted a rant shortly before he plowed a car into a campus crowd and stabbed people with a butcher knife in an ambush that ended when a police officer shot him dead, a law enforcement official said.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a "boiling point," made a reference to "lone wolf attacks" and cited radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

"America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah [community]. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," the post said.

[...]

Officials cautioned that they have not determined a motive for the ambush, which sent 11 people to the hospital Monday morning.

Jilted lover? A disgruntled employee? Whatever could the motive be-- 'tis a mystery . . . 

(No clues yet as to motive-- no wonder law enforcement is mystified!)

"It's a little overwhelming and scary. It's not something you think would happen on our campus," she told NBC News.

Whose campus, then, would you think it might occur on?

The media was mystified as to the motive. For quite a while.

Now I think they finally have figured it out.

Not if Obama and John Russell can help it.

I have nothing but a empty suit to add to this.

I'll wait for Trump's tweet to find out what he has to say. LOL  It should be available any minute.

From the White House

The Obama administration is warning Americans not to cast blame on Muslims after a student at Ohio State University launched an attack on innocent civilians that was likely inspired by Islamic State terrorists.

“Our response to this situation matters,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained to reporters during the press briefing. “If we respond to this situation by casting aspersions on millions of people that adhere to a particular religion or if we increase our suspicion of people who practice a particular religion, we are more likely going to contribute to acts of violence than we are to prevent them.”

It has been said that although there was evidence that the attacker might have been inspired by extremism, his motives were still under investigation.

Law enforcement investigators have pinpointed the attacker as “likely inspired by ISIS” according to a CNN report release after the White House press briefing.

The attacker posted a message on Facebook that law enforcement officials have released to the public.

“By Allah, we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the Muslims. You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday,” he wrote before the attack. “Btw, every single Muslim who disapproves of my actions is a sleeper cell, waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America.”

On Tuesday, the ISIS news agency Amaq claimed the attacker was “a soldier of God,” according to the New Yorker, and might have been inspired by the Islamic State’s terrorist manual….
