He said he committed the crime because of Islam. Will non-Muslim Palm Beach Gardens authorities rush to deny that and to reassure the public that Islam is peaceful and has nothing whatsoever to do with violence? Will we hear about how the local mosque has asked for extra police protection in view of an anticipated “backlash”? Will we be lectured about how “Islamophobia” leads Muslims to become angry and violent? Or will there be an honest examination of the texts and teachings of Islam that incite Muslims to commit acts of violence against unbelievers? I’m betting on all but the last one of those eventualities to happen.
“Police: Religious beliefs caused teen to stab multiple people,” by Ted White, WPBF, March 13, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. —Palm Beach Gardens police have arrested a teenager in connection with a fatal stabbing in Ballenisles.
Corey Johnson, 17, faces charges of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Clint Shannon said Johnson and Jovanni Brand, 13, were guests Sunday night at Elaine Simon’s home in the 300-block of Sunset Bay Lane.
Listen to 911 call made about stabbing
Johnson told police he bought a knife on Sunday and brought it to the home. He said around 4 a.m. Monday, when he realized everyone was asleep, he made the decision to kill Brand, Simon, and her son Dane Bancroft, 13.
Brand was pronounced dead at the scene. Monday was Brand’s birthday.
Simon suffered a dozen stab wounds. Her son Dane suffered 32 stab wounds.
They remain in the hospital.
…Police said Johnson told detectives he committed the crime because of his religious beliefs.
Shannon said Johnson recently converted to Islam and had been watching violent videos….

I hope this treacherous bastige lives a very long time in a Florida jail. He looks like his fellow inmates might find him….interesting. Invest in soap on a rope.
Vlad says
I disagree, it’s a waste of taxpayers good, hard-earned money.
Instead: Make him dig a 6 foot hole, bullet in the head, put pig offal/excreta and body into the hole and cover.
Repeat as often as is necessary.
Kimm says
Sounds about right. But why punish the pig?

Oh, look at Corey – a freshly-minted hate-propelled half-wit serving up the usual combination of cowardice and carnage.
Stabbing your friends while they’re asleep – there can’t be many things lower than that. Still, if Carlos is right about the sexual proclivities of Florida’s inmates, this contemptible juvenile jihadi may just find out that he mis-calculated, and the “Paradise” he thought would be his reward, actually has 72 grown men per one male virgin……

The entire non-Islamic world is living in a bubble of magical thinking that makes it impossible to perceive Islam as the violent, totalitarian, supremacist political movement that it is..
How this happened is what Western social scientists should be studying, not making it worse Cultural Marxism smoke and mirrors.
CT says
Amen. Academics hand-wave a bit and talk about “different strains” of Islam without addressing what the different strains do or do not treat as binding doctrine. They need to read the hadith that are treated by Sunnis and Shias as “authentic” and so binding.
The absurdity of treating a chain of hearsay like the hadith as authentic is only comprehensible when you realize that it bolsters the power of Islamic clerics to the point where those who disagree with them are subject to the death penalty. That’s a strong motivation to decide to adopt hearsay as “authentic,” no matter how absurd. No, black cumin doesn’t cure every disease save death. No, God doesn’t care which foot you use to exit or enter the bathroom. No, Mohammed wasn’t the last person on Earth that God will ever give a message to. No, people shouldn’t be killed for seeking God along the path that is in harmony with their own consciences.

Frank Anderson says
Can’t help pointing out that an unlicensed, unregistered, untrained knife was used. Also, think about motor vehicles, which are registered, licensed, *insured* and used by “trained and tested” drivers, which kill 97 people a day on the average. Blame the gun, but forget about all the other weapons that are useless for lawful self-defense. My point of course is that there are many means for a jihadi to kill. Focusing on means and not the operator just allows the “beat” to go on. Food for thought?
LeftisruiningCanada says
All good points. The car analogy is useful to an extent, but what of the difference with regards to intent? How many of those 97 daily automobile deaths are deliberate, and how many firearms deaths are accidental?
We are very much on the same side on this issue Frank.
Hope you are well. Didn’t see your posts here for a while.
Frank Anderson says
Thank you for your concern. I was rammed by a tailgating driver, one of many multiple times every day. In my area approximately 70 percent of “accidents” are really rear-enders, which are caused by the deliberate decision of the following driver to be too close to the leading driver. Not sure whether Canada recognizes the concept of “universal malice”. (“Universal malice” in the criminal context is more or less that same as “gross negligence” in the civil context.) A good description of “universal malice” is: Hazardous action, like firing a rifle into a railroad passenger car, or dropping an 8 pound rock from an overpass, with complete indifference to the victim or the harm. In view of my previous surgery, a neck injury can quickly become total paralysis or death. This time I think I will be okay. But I have started to challenge authorities about why traffic laws, especially speed and tailgating, are total jokes. HD dashcam videos are most helpful. Especially with GPS time, date, location and speed included.
More to your doubt about comparing motor vehicles to other weapons, I could wax professorial about how this disregard for traffic laws reflects a general loss of courtesy and respect among aggressive drivers who don’t care who they hurt as long as they save actually less than a second by tailgating. They could also be narcissistic, grandiose terrorists who are eager to terrorize people who must obey the laws, like I do. My bar denied a license to a law graduate who had 70 traffic tickets. I worked hard to earn my license, and for almost 40 years to keep it. But remember how many people have been killed by motor vehicles in deliberate attacks, starting as I remember in Israel and now pretty well everywhere. In the hands of a malevolent driver, they kill possibly 6 times as many people as firearms in the US. With Canada’s near elimination of private ownership of firearms, and corresponding reduction of their number, the ratio of firearm killings to motor vehicle killings should be even higher.
Explanation of estimate: Approximately 100 million cars and trucks in the US kill an average of 97 people a day. Approximately 300 million firearms in the US kill far less than half that 97. I think motor vehicles are statistically far deadlier than firearms, in complete spite of all the licensing, regulation and unenforced laws regarding their use. Tailgating is deliberate. It should be considered a felony assault with a deadly weapon, or even attempted murder. I am presently presenting that issue to law enforcement. Always best wishes for peace between us and with us.
LeftisruiningCanada says
” I was rammed by a tailgating driver ”
Ah damn it. Glad you’re ok. Hopefully your legal brain wasn’t too shaken about. Driving close like that is for selfish fools. I often think that people believe they are driving on rails, can stop at the speed of thought, and assume that arriving safely at your destination is guaranteed by divine edict.
Not sure how it is termed here, but i do know that it is legally pretty much 100% always going to be the tailing drivers fault in a rear end collision.
And yet it continues unabated.
“With Canada’s near elimination of private ownership of firearms, and corresponding reduction of their number”
Just as a point of order, although pistol ownership is probably much reduced because of the insulting, demeaning and frankly downright nasty laws surrounding their use and transportation, long gun ownership is still healthy, if only for hunting, since concepts of self defense are pretty much heretical here in the fundamentalist republic of socialist canuckistan.
“Tailgating is deliberate. It should be considered a felony assault with a deadly weapon, or even attempted murder”
I see where you’re coming from now. The idea becomes more and more viable as i think back to some of the situations i’ve been tailgated in. Especially the times with family in the car and semis doing the tailing, with nowhere to pull over. It would have been manslaughter at the very least, but possibly murder, since there was clear intent to threaten me with the deadly weapon he was driving.
Interesting thoughts Mr Anderson, thank you.
Peace to and with and in you also.
Frank Anderson says
Left. . ., the difference between manslaughter and murder is “malice”. This is where “universal malice” applies, because ordinary malice, reasoned intent, is directed at a specific victim or class of victims. Universal malice reflects indifference: the perpetrator doesn’t care who he injures or how severely the victim is injured. He doesn’t care, and engages in clearly dangerous conduct. Two really good cases are available online from Alabama courts, which are probably representative of general US law. Both are Napier v. State of Alabama, 357 So.2d 1011 (Ala. 1978) and 377 So.2d 1135 (Ala. Ct. Crim. App. 1979). These cases describe universal malice, both as it is, and as it is not, which I think makes them great tools for presenting argument on the subject.
Tailgating is no joke. Local law requires that a following vehicle maintain *at least* 20 feet for every 10 miles per hour. At 60 miles per hour that’s 120 feet. At 60 mph, which is 88 feet per second, that works out to be about 1 and a half seconds. That is for nothing more than reaction time. That is how long it takes for the following driver to see the leading car is stopping and apply brakes. It is hoped the following car or truck can stop in the same time and distance as the lead car, or sooner. Obviously the distance must be greater for wet or icy streets. But where I am drivers think nothing of imitating NASCAR racetracks by getting less than 20 feet from my bumper on the Interstate at the posted 65 MPH *while it is raining*. I frequently see multiple car and truck crashes end-to-end. That’s fine with me as long as I am not in one of them. But learning seems to be a lost art.
This was emphasized for me during training to drive a long-haul chemical tanker. Because of the good habit of keeping well behind vehicles ahead of me, I was able at least 3 times to avoid crushing cars, and once to avoid injuring an officer who literally jumped in front of my loaded truck on a wet street. Evidently there is no emphasis on proper distance in driver training to obtain regular license privileges, even to law enforcement officers and government employees. It will be interesting to see if the hit-and-run driver who hit me is found. The video has been delivered to the police.
Until motor vehicles are recognized clearly and unambiguously as weapons these assaults and attempted murders will continue. And as long as alternative weapons are available, even as crude as a tool or piece of pipe, all the registration, licensing and BS about firearms is a lie intended to disarm people like me who are physically unable to defend themselves in hand-to-hand combat. The socialist/totalitarian doctrine of “You are an idiot; and I know what is best for you!” must be resisted and turned back. Obviously I have few choices of political parties in the US. As long as there is 1, there is hope. Continued best wishes.

FRANK…..The real WEAPON is Islam…that is the weapon that our governments need to address and make illegal. C’mon officials get busy passing laws to make Islam Illegal Surely you can find a way to do that……religious laws are outdated when it comes to Islam CHANGE THEM. or st least do something.
j_not_a says
Cars are designed to transport people. Idiot. We ought to ban them from billions of people who use them as intended because some relatively few use it as a weapon of murder? Sick of you and people like you using this completely nonsensical “argument”. When muzlums use cars, or any other objects, like pressure cookers, it’s not even what they use to kill, it’s WHY the kill that is the crux of the problem – because their “holy” texts and their fake “god” allah and his insane “profit” tell them to.
Frank Anderson says
J. . ., I think you are correct. It is not the device but the person who uses the device in crime. How are 300 plus million firearms in private hands guilty of any crime because some people use some firearms in criminal acts? Thank you for helping illustrate my point.
LeftisruiningCanada says
As a Christian, i can’t help but see a malevolent influence behind events such as this.
So far as we know at the moment, there is no history of violence in this guy’s life, and yet a little exposure and willful pursuit of the god of islam and poof, staggering deception, evil and death.
And please, don’t think that believing in the power of spiritual darkness in any way alleviates an individual of personal responsibility for their actions. Think of it like an alcoholic – it takes quite a bit of deliberate effort to become enslaved to the bottle, and a strong desire to keep seeking it even when you’re in deep. Only towards the very extremes does a person’s control over themselves begin to wane.
No, this young man loved the evil he found, and was encouraged in loving more, through islam. He played with dangerous things that had evil literally written all over them. It brought out the worst in him, and it felt good for a while.
We need to tell as many people as possible about the dangerous path that islam can and does set you upon, because the path leads to little but evil.

Islam kills the soul. Because their “god” is no god but an evil, murderous, hateful demon doing satan’s bidding.
The little sh!t sure does have the “dead shark eyes” look down pat. The saying “the eyes are the window to the soul” is so true. When you see these murderous jihadis eyes, they are dead and empty, because that’s what they are inside.
Anybody else agree that it looks like yet again the FBI completely screwed up on this one. And yet again because of it, more innocent people died.

The at-risk youth of America are not being protected, there is an urgent need to understand how this doctrine numbs the mind, it is so dangerous, there is an endless marketing, aided by fibs in the school environment that it is tolerant, media misinformation that you are racist if you reject it, the goal taught is to struggle to convert and fight for peace by aggression. The mosque uses outreach to churches and parents suspect nothing of a religious organization that seems acceptable with friendly faces, but the doctrine when read, calls for terrorizing people to get a conversion and securing a place in heaven. So a young man stabs announces his mission and his life is ruined and lives are lost.

A young Caucasian born and bred American – this kid at 17, had opportunities, rights and freedoms available to him that 90% of teenagers from around the entire planet can only wish for.
Ask a 17-year-old male born and bred in Gambia or Egypt or Venezuela or Somali – they’d salivate at the future that this kid had an offer for himself. He just had to reach out and take it.
Instead, he turned to Islam and decided to stab the hell out of his loved ones.
What a loser. He literally threw away the best possible life available to a young man – ON THE PLANET – and for what? Prayers 5 times a day, a bunch of rules and obligations and the opportunity to seethe with savage hatred against everyone perceived different to him.
What a tragic, pointless waste.

I’ve noticed that very often a new convert becomes a fervent practitioner of his new religion, studies it in depth, and shows extraordinary zeal in translating the religion’s tenets into action, and commits cruel acts of violence against non-believers. He understands his new belief system much better than the people who inherited it. This should lead observers to conclude that the religion actually promotes acts of violence against non-believers.
