“In that incident, neighbor Daniel Stults testified Thursday that Ketchman ordered him to get on the ground and bow before his god.”
MLive doesn’t consider it relevant enough to tell you, but Rodger Ketchman calls himself Rodger Abdul-Latif Ketchman, and is apparently a convert to Islam. That would certainly be consistent with his behavior toward the police and his neighbors, as once again we see a convert to Islam think his new Religion of Peace calls for violence. Why do so many converts to Islam misunderstand Islam in this way?
“Man shot by SWAT lunged at officers with knife, sword, police testify,” by Darcie Moran, MLive.com, July 21, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):
PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI – A man taunted police officers by waving and rubbing together the edges of knives in a small Ypsilanti apartment before he was shot by a member of Washtenaw Metro SWAT in a January encounter, police testified Thursday, July 20.
Two cases against Rodger Ketchman, 33, of Ypsilanti were bound over to circuit court following preliminary examinations Thursday at Washtenaw County’s 14A-1 District Court.
Ketchman initially faced charges of first-degree home invasion, carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent and malicious destruction of a building costing $20,000 or more in damage for the incident on Jan. 13, 2017.
By the conclusion of the Thursday examination, however, he faced 14 new charges related to the encounter with police – seven counts of felony assault and seven counts of resisting, obstructing or assaulting a police officer….
Police were initially called to the Ypsilanti apartment building in the 700 block of Lowell Street when Ketchman began banging on his neighbor’s door with a crowbar, neighbor Emerald Cox, testified.
“He was saying, ‘I’m going to kill you,'” she said.
Cox said she’d had previous encounters with Ketchman, claiming he came to her door on Christmas Eve to ask if she and her family were part of the CIA.
She also said she saw him attack a neighbor with a crowbar on Jan. 12, an incident for which he is charged in a separate case with assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent.
In that incident, neighbor Daniel Stults testified Thursday that Ketchman ordered him to get on the ground and bow before his god.
On Jan. 13, he knocked off Cox’s doorknob with the crowbar, she testified.
When she called police, then-Ypsilanti Officer Tommy Porter – now with the Hazel Park Police Department – and Ypsilanti Officer Anthony Schembri responded….
The two officers attempted to coax Ketchman out of his apartment, Porter said, but he kept yelling and said he wanted the officers to watch him wash his genitals.
He also told them they were trespassing, and said he would fight them and defend his property, Porter said….
When Ketchman opened the door with a knife and sword over his head, two SWAT members deployed their less-lethal weapons….

How many jihad attacks PER DAY in the United States will TRIGGER Americans to say ‘no’ to Islam? 10 attacks? 50 attacks? 100 attacks?
Americans are answering quietly by joining gun clubs. Any owner of a gun club/rifle range can count on expanding as the number of Muslims increases due to the increase in FEAR OF JIHAD.
The BAD NEWS is that MANY MUSLIMS ARE ALSO JOINING GUN CLUBS IN LARGE NUMBERS!
Creole Gumbo says
Gun clubs? The jihadis have training camps:

How many more lies will it take for Americans to cut the cord on Fake News ?
PRCS says
Surely some mental issue, eh?
BC says
All religion is a mental disorder, believing in things that do not exist is the first sign of mental illness.
However Islam is a psychopathic religion and to make matters worse, centuries of inbreeding means many Muslims are also of sub par intelligence
Brielle says
Humans perceive things with only 5 senses…. science knows there are other spectrums of reality we can’t sense, including electromagnetic, ecolation, magnetic, and others. Just because we cannot sense them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
How arrogant some humans are, as you to assume that God or spirits don’t exist, just because you can’t sense them.
Dacritic says
What exactly doesn’t exist?

This is how the Koran teaches themHes a mental case to you and me,but in his mind this is the right thing to do.

How stupid can you get! You let muslims in the army, navy and air force, you train muslims in Afghanistan and all those countries + you let them become members of gun clubs,shooting ranges. I have no words for the total coma’s of people, who want to stay in come.
But leftists[liberals/ feminists, you spread your own beds, you lay in them with your children and grand children. You wanted it this way, we warned you for years, now clean up your own mess and leave us out of it. And governments, you did not protect your own people and still think that you are so human and forgiving to the cult of death, called “Religion of peace”. You sold out your own people and the Jews, + the Muslims who thought that they came into safe countries. muslims who just wanted to leave their violent religion, could not, because you did not protect them either, you could not even tell them the words:”keep to the laws of our country”Neither could Europe, the EU, Australia, Canada etc, and the USA.. Religion is going out, you will hear the truth about who we are and why we are here on earth, and you will hear, what a violent race we are, wanting to conquer everybody else and dictate them what to do, from early morning till late at night, what to watch, how to play, everything. Then our greed has no limits. The elite, millionaires, government people, corporations have no limits either and then the egos, with this all we could go down completely, without bombs , but that is not going to happen, it has happened already 4 times.. Inform yourselves, muslims and other people, there is not one religion that will win and get the upper hand. Not one.And that is a very good thing and I am glad for it. We will see.

MLive got the story from the Ann Arbor News. Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, one of the most left wing universities in the country. Bill Ayers went there as did Tom Hayden. Juan Cole, a professor at the U of M, is a notorious apologist for Islam, and the school has a lot of Muslims attending it because of the number of them that now live in Dearborn and surrounding areas. The whole community of Ann Arbor is full of batty intellectuals who think that they are experts on everything, especially Islam, when they are basically totally ignorant fools. Trust me, I lived there on and off for six years and have a bachelor’s degree (LSA, 1975) from that once august educational institution of higher learning. They have to protect Muslims so the rest of us don’t victimize them.This idiocy is getting totally out of hand.
Terry says
Shortly after ( either Pres. Trump’s election or inauguration, or perhaps both times) the law school opened a room, with crayons and coloring books, and teddy bears, so the students could–whatever. (I heard this on the radio, once or twice, perhaps more times).
MY THOUGHTS— LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS? Makes me more leery of attorneys. Especially new ones.
Terry says
Why did the swat team use NON-LETHAL WEAPONS?
HugoHackenbush says
This will be blamed on “mental illness” which I’m sure Mr. Ketchman suffers from. However, it is unlikely that the local news etc. will discuss WHY his mental illness expressed itself in this specific form. WHY was he attracted to THIS particular ideology? WHY did his conversion manifest itself in this form? You can bet charges of “islamophobia” will be hurled at anyone who dares ask these questions. Is it possible that someone with psychopathic tendencies might, just perhaps, be drawn to something that gives him leave to act on his murderous impulses? And, not just “leave” to act but an actual MANDATE to act?

Why is there a Brazilian flag in the image? There was nothing in the story linking this man to Brazil, and his name is not from there either. Brazil has enough problems these days without being associated with this business.
Sorrentino says
Não é bem assim. A Polícia Federal brasileira tem apreendido integrantes de células terroristas em nosso território. Quando não havia a lei anti-terrorismo, a entidade acusava os sujeitos com crimes sem qualquer relação com terrorismo, como estupro e assalto, a fim de mantê-los o máximo possível presos.
Agora, com a lei anti-terror, temos alguns presos. A região de Foz do Iguaçu, no Paraná, e o Estado do Maranhão merecem atenção especial.
[Not really. The Brazilian Federal Police has apprehended members of terrorist cells in our territory. While there was no anti-terrorism law, the entity accused subjects with crimes unrelated to terrorism, such as rape and assault, in order to keep them as much as possible prisoners.
Now, with an anti-terror law, the Polícia Federal has made some prisoners. The region of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná and the State of Maranhão deserve special attention.]
Unknown says
@Sorrentino Entendo o que quer dizer, mas se for um brasileiro espero que seja julgado e condenado por lá mesmo, já que temos problemas demais (e já estamos vendo eles se espalharem por aqui, graças a nossos políticos com suas ideias suicidas) e, sim, temos muitos deles no estado de São Paulo, que suspeito que tenha algo a ver com tráfico de drogas, já que a região escolhida por eles parecem bem estratégica (São Paulo, São Bernardo e Santo e já sabemos que o Hezzbollah vem operando no Brasil).
(I know what you mean but if he is a Brazilian, I really hope he on trial and condemned there. We already have many problems and we can see them to be growing here, thanks to our politicians and their suicidal ideas) and, yes, we also have many of them in São Paulo which I suspect that they are using strategic areas since São Paulo, São Bernardo and Santos (the major port of Brazil and I guess South America) are their chosen regions and we already know about Hezzbollah operation in Brazil and SA

Ketchman can kiss my foot…. after he bows to my God!

Do the American police have Tasers? They may be non lethal but they certainly put a man down.
Joe says
They usually do. In this case, they could have probably used their guns, because there was sufficient threat.

Yet another moronic convert to the cult of allah with the same silly adoption of an Arabic name.He may as well adopt the word Jahesh(stupid ass)while he’s at it.
People do not convert to islam to find God:that isn’t actually necessary.
They convert to islam so they can do things like commit murder which allah sanctions in his “perfect” book and follow the disgraceful example of their “perfect” prophet,the commandment-breaking, mass-murdering, anti-semitic,anti-Christian muhammed(pbuh…Purveyor of Butchery and Unholy Horror).
They find in islam a ready-made religious bolshevist ideology that allows them to do evil and be rewarded by allah in paradise(the complete opposite to how God operates!Because God does not sanction or reward wickedness)
That is certainly what jihadists believe anyway..
islam attracts the savage,the ignorant and the primitive-minded idiot.
Only a total fool would fail to differentiate between God{“thou shalt not kill”} and allah[“slay the unbelievers wherever you find them”}.
You see murders and rapists in jail convert to allah..but you notice …not to God!
It is not that hard to figure it out why.
Evil doers are attracted to allah because he teaches things in his perfect little book,the koran,things that are both morally wrong and completely at odds with God’s Law.
You don’t have to believe me:you just look at God’s Original Commandments and then look at allah’s twisting of them.. so that muslims can get away with murder,adultery,taqqiya lying…how convenient for muslims that their gross misrepresentation of God,allah,is perfectly OK with encouraging them not to obey God’s Commandments.
Take any teaching of God that you like:murder,adultery,lying,stealing.
What does God in His commandments say?He says that they are wrong.Period.
But not allah…compare what allah teaches with God’s Commandments:murder of the infidels is ok,adultery with an enslaved woman is Ok,polygamy is Ok,stealing from infidels and forcing tthem to pay a Jizya tax(=theft!!)…these are all forbidden by God’s Original Commandments …which proves that..
allah is NOT GOD.For allah to be the same as GOD allah would be required to at least be in full agreement with God’s Commandments:well,he isn’t and allah completely missed those all important Two Chief commandments too!
allah is a gross distortion of GOD.
alah’s teachings are in direct conflict with GOD’s Commandments.
Choose God or allah but you cannot follow both..the wheat or the chaff…
Carlos Danger says
Sounds like an authoritarian nutter. Islam is a perfect perfect for a psycho with his tendencies. the neighbor should invest in a short barreled 12 gauge and a box or two of 00buckshot.
buck says
Why report that little tidbit that he is a muslim and let’s use his FAKE NAME and not his muslim name. After all, doesn’t everyone attack their neighbors and demand they bow before his god before he was going to kill them?
Frank Verderber says
Look someone has to say it. Is it possible that the cultist right of asking Allah into one’s heart is the same as a Satanist asking a demon to bunk with him. It could be demon possession we are seeing, or a secular view could suggest that the only converts stupid enough to engage Islam are the mentally deranged. They accept Islam because they feel at home.
