Brietta Brown sounds as if she could be legitimately mentally ill, unless she was practicing a bit of the old “war is deceit” game, but in any case, apparently somewhere along the way she picked up the instructions: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Police report describes footage of woman slashing Hadley bus passengers’ throats,” by Diane Lederman, MassLive, May 4, 2018:
HADLEY – After the woman charged with slashing two passengers and the driver of a Pioneer Valley Transit Authority bus was handcuffed and read her rights, she apologized.
“I’m so sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” Brietta Brown said, according to the arrest report. “Please apologize to them for me, will they survive? I hope Allah will forgive me.”
The Republican is working to find passengers who were onboard the bus Wednesday afternoon when two people were slashed by a knife-wielding woman.
The arrest report, written by Hadley Police Officer Thomas Chabot, also describes surveillance video from the bus, which was heading east on Route 9 when the attack occurred.
The video shows Brown sitting calmly after boarding the bus. She was seated on the passenger side of the bus behind the victims, who were sitting together. “At no point in time was there any interaction between them prior to the attack,” Chabot wrote.
Brown could be seen on the footage removing the knife from her pocket and unsheathing it. She then grabbed a female “her by the head … and made a left to right slice to the victim’s neck.”
She then attacked the male after he stood up reacting to the assault. She “made multiple slashing motions” and cut him at least once, according to Chabot’s report.
A woman who allegedly slashed two people’s throats on a PVTA bus Wednesday was ordered held without right to bail Thursday pending a dangerousness hearing.
Witnesses told police “with some variance that Brown looked like she was about to say hi to the two indented victims when she grabbed each by the head and sliced at there (sic) throats.”
Police said passengers and the bus driver intervened and subdued Brown.
“In the scuffle as she was being subdued she also cut the bus drivers (sic) hand with the knife as he attempted to control her,” Chabot wrote.
The driver suffered chest pains following the incident. He and the other victims were taken to Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton.
Afterward, while Brown was in Chabot’s cruiser, “she began praying to ALLAH, (and) after arriving at the station she continued to pray and would not break her concentration to speak with any officers.”
Brown would not speak to police during the booking process or “acknowledge our presence and would not answer any of our questions, and would not stop praying.” Officers placed her in a cell until she would comply.
Her behavior became more erratic, Chabot wrote. “She began to drink toilet water, and asked multiple officers to shoot her in the head and referred to herself in the third person.”
Officers ultimately called the Amherst Fire Department to take her to Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton for a mental health evaluation….

YES, AS ROBERT WRITES, “LEGITIMATELY MENTALLY ILL”.
Mental illness is the foundation for 90% of Muslims who KNOW THE QURAN’S SUBJUGATIVE AND VIOLENT COMMANDS.
That sickness is either (A) biologic anomalies like low IQ, schizophrenia, manic depressive OR (B) personality disorders such as those in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual — DSM IV.
The other 10% of Muslims are in it for the money — channeled under the radar by George Soros and globalists, and petrobucks in return for the patience to engage in cultural jihad for decades if necessary.
Charleen McDade says
Claiming mental illness just gets her off to do it again
Red Bee says
I agree. When one does what Allah commands in the Koran one fits the criteria of the personality disorder. I would say the paranoid type (like Hitler & Stalin). But she can also be psychotic. A possibility is Islam gets enough psychotic Muslims to translate their delusions in religious terms to keep the jihad by terror attacks going, besides the other ways.
Allah commands: The Common Plan or Conspiracy + Crimes against Peace + War Crimes + Crimes against Humanity = The 4 indictments at Nuremberg
jihad3tracker says
In a recent comment tonight for another of Robert’s posts, I suggested watching this David Wood video to understand the reason for Allah’s commands of subjugation & murder: “The Psychology Of Islam — Part 1”.
THE VIDEO RUNS 17:30 — containing citations from the sacred sources to establish David’s assertions. Highly recommended for every one who is not yet aware that Muhammad was a VERY EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED PERSON.
Harish says
Why not clean up Quran for study in US?
Carol the 1st says
I read her as primarily a mentally disturbed person. Life is a little too hard for some people and they’ll be inclined to latch onto something like Islam as though it will give them power or hope – a possible life raft. Such individuals would act from emotion and lack intellectual skills.There are clues of this since she’s conflated God with Allah and to me that means she is not a transplant from another culture. She says she “hopes Allah will forgive her” which means she thinks she’s dealing with the nice, explicable God of the Kafirs. She assumes Islam is about Sin (and self-icorrection) and thus Redemption.
Allah is far too mysterious for all that and besides, he doesn’t even like kafirs.
Ian says
I do hope their was charges here.Around the world we this threat.Need to see this government or local police come down hard on this kind of thing.should not be ignores.ignoring just empowers them.
BC says
Clear case of self defence, she probably heard a derogatory remark by one of the victims and was ‘forced’ to retaliate. BTW what happened to the victims?
J D S says
Happening in yhe U.S. today….and more on the way…Unless our so called leaders act and soon!! It will take passage of new laws to control islam and enforce those laws already on the books.
Savvy Kafir says
It will definitely require the passage of new laws. Islam is unique and poses a unique threat to civilized societies. It must be treated differently.
Nancy Perkins says
EXACTLY!
Frank Verderber says
There has been too much of this…..Demonic Possession!
Georg says
Pretty sure there is an equal incidence/prevalence of “mental illness” across all peoples and religions. The manifestations, however…
jihad3tracker says
HELLO GEORG —
Yes, “an equal incidence/prevalence”, but the SOURCE for Islam’s existence is 100% Muhammad, a person who began life with tragedy and indifference from parents & caregivers. THAT MANIFESTED WHEN HIS SUBCONSCIOUS MIND SPOKE decades later as “revelations” from God.
I have often recommended this video by “superlatively brilliant” [Robert Spencer’s words] Dr. David Wood — “The Psychology Of Islam – Part 1” It runs 17:30 and deserves to be viewed when we are not multi-tasking with distractions.
BC says
I do not share your confidence. It is a fact that in breeding with cousins for example can often cause all kinds of problems both physical and mental
dumbledoresarmy says
This one’s name is “Brietta Brown’. She seems to be a black American *convert* to Islam.
I would be *very* surprised if her family tree were inbred; the black American community are pretty thoroughly mixed in terms of ethnic ancestral lines. I have not heard that that community – which was pretty thoroughly Christianised until a couple of generations ago – went in much for cousin marriage, which is *permitted* in western societies but is most uncommon and tends to be socially discouraged.
Her behaviour, if she is a convert to Islam, cannot be put down to inbreeding; it is the result of Islam. We have seen *so many* converts to Islam, of all ethnic backgrounds, most of those backgrounds anything *but* inbred, do *exactly the same sort of thing* as this woman has done: try to *kill* people, whether with bombs or knives or guns.
If she *does* have a diagnosed psychiatric illness (diagnosed by a competent non-Muslim medico or medicos) then that might account for *something*… but it might also show what happens when you *combine* Islam with, say, paranoid schizophrenia or other brain-chemical malfunctions. And one may note – just as Muslims do dawa in prisons, they probably – just like other types of destructive cults, and also like conmen of other sorts – have a pretty good ‘nose’ for vulnerable people, people whose judgement is impaired by various conditions, who can therefore be ‘sucked in’.

warmac9999 says
it is a darn shame that the knife she used to stab others didn’t end up stuck in her eye.
Keys says
She may be found to be mentally ill, as usual.
Perhaps, demonic possession ?
“She began to drink toilet water, and asked multiple officers to shoot her in the head and referred to herself in the third person.”
Christopher Hudson says
Nailed it. Exactly what I thought when I read it. Just like Muhammad thought himself, demonically possessed.
Anonymous says
>> asked multiple officers to shoot her in the head
Too bad they didn’t.
Mr Gerogy says
Another case of Sudden Jihada, female Jihadi
somehistory says
They should call the French doctor in for a consult. He would likely find it easier to tell is she truly is mentally ill or just acting.
If that is the perp in the photo, imo, she is acting.
boakai ngombu says
the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) probably won’t forgive her because she apologized and got caught.
and, she wasn’t dressed properly (if the picture is her after arrest) and her hair was not covered.
[the slave (muslim) of the allah god knows remorse and perhaps has heard the word forgiven from the imam after making proper sacrifices, but; the muslim will not know of genuine absolution and reconciliation and restoration of soul because those teachings abide not in islam]

mortimer says
When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
All Muslims believe this is the ETERNAL, PERFECT WORDS OF ALLAH … but most Muslims would never act this out unless the CALIPH commanded them.
The last time the ‘CALIPH’ commanded was last year…until he was bombed to smithereens.
Muslims know that this is a duty but most are too chicken too do it on their own authority.
35% of Muslims don’t believe very much if at all.
gravenimage says
I think the problem is that so many Muslims *do* believe in Islam, and carry out its violent diktats.
mortimer says
Brietta Brown is a jihadist.
Jihad is AGGRESSION.
“Islamophobia” is any resistance to jihad.
The dirty KUFAAR whom she slashed were obviously “Islamophobic” and thus they had it coming to them, according to Sharia law.
Ashley says
I live in MA and didn’t hear a word about this incident.
Although I now live in the Cape Cod area I spent 12 years in Belchertown and know Hadley very well. I’ve been on that bus route several times.
Belchertown is home to the Quabbin Reservoir. You know, where seven foreigners saw fit to trespass late at night weeks after the Boston Marathon bombings.
This appears to be Brietta’s booking photo:

There seems to be a concerted effort by the MSM to hide stories like this. I read about 3 hours of news a day from all varieties of sources. More and more often, stories such as these I am only finding out about when I log into Jihadwatch. The MSM which is pretty much hardleft liberal now, is desperate to cover over the increasing instances of islamic crimes and attacks occurring in the US and Canada.

10:3. What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
10:4. That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

dumbledoresarmy says
You seem to be claiming that the Third Jihad is God’s way of punishing the wicked USA, or wicked western world, for having permitted abortions.
But the USA isn’t the whole world. In case you hadn’t noticed, the Ummah is attacking *everybody* just about everywhere! (And always has done). How do you acccount for the jihad against Christians in Nigeria, or in Central African Republic? The violent oppression of Christians and HIndus in Pakistan?
And… there are lots of countries that, historically, did not permit abortions at all; that were *very* conservative, morally, that were deeply Christian – Coptic Egypt, Orthodox Greece and Bulgaria, the Christians of Armenia – and they *too* were massively attacked by Muslims, cruelly oppressed by Muslims, slaughtered wholesale by Muslims. So what had *they* done wrong?
Lots of other countries – e.g Hindu India – were attacked by the jihad at the same time as the Muslims were attacking Christendom. And the Muslim assault on Christendom made it *harder*, much much harder, for the Gospel to be taken to Africa, to Asia, and beyond. It *delayed and impeded* the bringing of the gospel… so why was God doing *that*, if you see Islam as God’s weapon to *punish* people…

Again is demonstrated how Islam, out of all proportion compared to other major religions, attracts the detritus of the human species. Here Islam is “superb” and herein lies a major reason why Islam still exists in a significant way because the detritus of the human species, quite unfortunately, forms a large percentage of said species.
Oh yeah, much “fertile ground” for Islam. Much.

I suppose this is a ritual that Allah imposes on his slaves, like Brietta. First the slave, Brietta cuts the throats of her victims, then prays for Allah’s Forgiveness, & finally slurps toilet water. What a Vile Cult!

It reminds me so much of the young Hitler Jugend and their people. Saw a documentary, how the young people about 10/12 years were all invited to summer camps, the first years the had games and gymnastics, the following year they started to make fires and all the things soldiers have to learn, they gave them the brown uniforms, they indoctrinated them the hate of the Jews, then they learned the siege heil and before you knew it they were marching as one big war machine through the streets of Berlin and other cities, they only followed commands, in the beginning they could join up a year leater it was obligatory, I looked in amazement, they became one big war machine, and of course they grew up in those8/10 years, by then they had to betray their parents if those should say something bad about Hitler.
It all is the same patron as it is now with Islam, almost exactly. They scattered them trough the whole of Germany, they were the watchdogs on people, and later they had to join in.So every young one had to join in the young ones became older and were soldiers, but they had new young ones every year and when Hitler was about losing the war, he ordered young boys from 12 years on to fight the Russians in Berlin, boys of 12, can you imagine. Most soldiers by then surrendered by then already. So many of those young boys of course lost their lives do. They were indoctrinated too.
But I find so much similarities with muslims now. Indoctrinate your next generation to keep violence and war forever. A lot of Arabs visited Hitler in his time, grand mufti’s etc. I saw them in that movie.
It should be a great movie for Angela and the rest. But they never showed these movies before the year 2000. I see why!
Carol the 1st says

So what are these “prayers” to allah..?
a god who..
1.curses the Jews and the Christians k9:30{reflected in the fatiha}
2.sanctions the murder of innocents k2:191
3.who says “take not the Jews and Christians for friends” k5:51{what?No 2nd chief commandment??}
4.insults the Jews including the Biblical(=Jewish) prophets calling them apes k2 v65
That is the god the moslem “prays” 5 times a day to.
a god who ..
1.does not subscribe to the chief Commandments found in Judaism and Christianity but not in islam
2.happily encourages muslims to BREAK God’s laws in his “perfect” koran
3.is violently antiSemitic and antichristian
Kasey says
Just another case of Islamic insamity brought on from intense indoctrination of Allah’s directives against all Infidels.

Nothing will happen to her This area (Northampton, Hadley, Amherst) is as left-wing as you can get. They even have signs on many lawns that say in three languages (one being ARABIC) that “no matter where you come from, we’re glad you’re here.” Northampton voted to support a Muslim refuge family for the next 12 months at $100,000!
This place is the hotbed for left-wing nuts, homosexuals and counter-culture. The odds of anything happening to this woman attacked are ZERO.

Having lived in the area for twelve years I can attest to the validity of your comment.

I watch the local news shows in the greater Boston area every evening and this got not so much as a mention, though I’m sure it must have been covered locally in the Springfield area which is over 100 miles west of us. A black woman yelling about Allah slashes two strangers on a bus? No fatalities? Had there been fatalities it would have been put down to “mental illness”, unless one of the victims had been armed and shot in self-defense in which case it would have been “gun violence”.

The Leftists who come to her defense charging hate crimes should be considered enemy aliens and executed on the spot.
They are enemy allies.

NO ONE is “legitimately mentally ill.”
Either they have a neurological problem (which is EXTREMELY RARE, unless deliberately drug-induced, in which case one quickly habituates to it and so it wears off again) or they choose hypocrisy and habitually lie by reversing cause and effect to blame their victims to cover up their own crimes.
Dr. Thomas Szasz, a pioneering psychiatrist, wrote books about this, most notable “The Myth of Mental Illness.”
