The family of the victim is suing Publix for selling Corey Johnson the knife, violating a Florida law that prohibits the sale of knives to anyone under age 18. That’s all well and good, but how many people even know that this incident happened at all? The murder of Jovanni Alexander Sierra should have been the occasion for a national discussion about the phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming violent, which keeps happening, and what should be done about it. Instead, the whole thing was swept under the rug, as always.
“Sierra died of his injuries, including a slash at his throat…”
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike necks…” Qur’an 47:4
“Florida teen murdered 13-year-old for mocking Islam — family is suing the grocery store that sold him the knife,” by Carlos Garcia, The Blaze, February 17, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The family of a 13-year-old murdered in a stabbing attack by a Muslim teenager is suing the grocery store that sold him the knife he used in the crime.
Corey Johnson attacked Jovanni Alexander Sierra and others in 2018 in a horrifying attack in 2018. Johnson, who had converted to Islam prior to the attack, had been under investigation by the FBI because he was viewing radicalization propaganda online, including beheading videos.
“Corey Johnson has confessed his actions to our investigators stating that he stabbed the victims because of his religious beliefs,” said Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Clint Shannon at the time. “Our understanding is he had converted to Islam and had been watching violent videos online.”
Sierra died of his injuries, including a slash at his throat, and Johnson is to be tried as an adult for the crime.
The family filed a lawsuit on Monday against Publix for selling the knife to Johnson just hours before he killed Sierra.
It is unlawful to sell weapons to anyone under the age of 18 in Florida….

If the kid couldn’t get a “Knife” knife, nothing was stopping him from going to a hardware for carpentry knives.
How about suing the mosque and imams filling heads with this garbage?
And any muslilms he associated with while they’re at it cause obviously none of them were these “moderate” muslims we keep hearing about, or they would have tried to talk some sense into him.
Keys says
Suing the Mosque and the Imam ? Would love to see that. What attorney dare try it ?
There have been successful lawsuits in the USA against taverns that allowed patrons to become inebriated and then caused a fatal auto accident.
Third party Dram Shop laws.
Also, there have been lawsuits against gun manufacturers and gun dealers when crimes were committed with their products.
mortimer says
The Koran, hadiths and the Sira should be brought into the court room and TRIED under the ‘hate speech’ laws of different countries. That would effectively rule out the use of Islam’s primary source texts.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, First problem with bringing an action such as you propose-who are the properly qualified real parties in interest, both for the plaintiff and defense. Who has the necessary interest and resources to correctly represent the issues to a conclusion. I am not writing that it cannot be done; but this is the first of several hurdles to present a viable case. Please think about the rest. Frank

This was all “swept under” the dirty preyer rugs. Didn’t hear a thing about it on the local news, nor of course, the national.
He wanted to kill someone. islam just gave him the excuse.
And you are right…any hardware store has knives for sale. Walmart has knives. Publix stores sell kitchen knives. Since the story does not say how large the knife, one can only wonder if he was alone when he bought it and if Publix has their registers set up to ask for ID for buying a knife.
My daughter bought knives in one, and no one asked her age.
Suing the store is just an easy way to put the blame on anyone but those at fault.
Donald Huff says
Blame the parents it all starts there parents should’ve been watching him and if he was changing they should report him to the police department it didn’t help matters to put the blame on everybody else they need to look at them self.
Victoria Regina Marsh says
Agreed! Why weren’t the parents monitoring what their kid was doing online? Oh, yeah. Mom was working long hours trying to make ends meet on a house her husband couldn’t afford on his salary alone, so no one was at home doing the parenting. Yes, I said it. Mom should have stayed home and done her job and not leave parenthood to catch-as-catch-can.
oldschool says
Right! This kid’s mother bought into the two-income household scheme the leftists love to foist off upon women. The MOST IMPORTANT JOB any woman can possibly have is bringing up the next generation. There is no job anywhere as important as that one. When we get over this nonsense (and I speak as a woman myself) we might be able to get our country back on track and re-institute our freedom. If we keep this crap up we never will be free again.
Frank Anderson says
S.H. it is simple to make what passes for a knife from a file, or other piece of similarly shaped metal. Just ask any prisoner. It just takes a grinding wheel, some water to control the temperature so the metal can be held, and a little time. For every “weapon” that can be “registered”, “licensed”, ‘prohibited” or “insured” there are hundreds or thousands of substitutes. starting with the most common and dangerous weapon in the US, motor vehicles (1). Blaming the weapon avoids confronting the real issue, the criminal conduct of the user, and all who “aid, abet, counsel or act in furtherance” of the crime.
With our legal training , we should be able to see that a federal civil rights crime and conspiracy has taken place, in addition to the state crimes. Why is that not being charged and prosecuted? [Agreement, Two or more persons, Unlawful purpose or means, ANY overt act by ANY member.]
(1) ESTIMATES: 100 million motor vehicles in active use are involved in more or less 100 deaths and thousands of injuries each day. 300 million firearms in private possession are involved in approximately 50 deaths per day, half of them self inflicted and many of the remaining half lawful. Which is the more dangerous instrumentality?
Always with respect and courtesy to you.

,I remembering reading the favorite weapon of the Hell Angels was the simple, cheap, hard to trace, easy to throw away after use ,legal to have in your car glove box or motorcycle saddle bag in 50 states the common hammer.

Thank you, Frank.
I could have written, and thought about writing something such as this:
He could have bought…or already possessed a baseball bat…, monkey wrench, a dozen or more other kinds of wrenches, tireiron, a hatchet, ice pick, screwdriver, etc. and used any number of things he might find around his home to kill the child.
People have been known to wield frying pans, rolling pens, sharpened toothbrushes, scissors, knitting needles, ball bearings in a sock…and a whole host of other ordinary objects, as weapons against another person. Bricks, cinder blocks, sticks, underwear, hosiery, scarves, etc. have been used to murder, as shown by many “Forensic Files” and “Cold Case” episodes.
If a person wishes to commit murder, all they need is the opportunity. Making a weapon of something meant for a better use is something just about any fool can do.
Suing the store chain will help no one, not even the parents of the dead child, even if they win some big payoff.
I always find your comments informative and interesting. Thank you.
Bob Thompson says
Suing the store might also have a chilling effect on the retail market to make knife buying more difficult or costly.
The answer is to reduce the numbers of Muslims in America to the pre-9/11 level or lower when Islam was a somewhat inconsequential presence felt in our greater society.
Frank Anderson says
B.T. please think about it a minute: Suing the store will make many lawyers rich, plaintiff and defense, judges and their staffs occupied, preventing other cases from proceeding, force increases in prices in EVERY store, because the risk is pooled through insurance, which will explode in rates at the least excuse. And not one single violent act will be impaired, prevented or deterred, because weapons can be made out of most anything-ASK people in prison. As long as the tool gets blamed, the criminal escapes the attention. And, you may wish to consider a legal point I discuss frequently: Anyone who Aids, Abets, Counsels or Acts in furtherance of a federal felony is equally guilty of the crime. 18 United States Code Section 2, available by online search.
This crime was aided, abetted and counseled straight out of the “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” teachings, practices and “perfect example” of 1400 years.
Frank Anderson says
S.H., one of the most tragic episodes of Law and Order Criminal Intent involved a boy whose mother hit him in the head numerous times with a frying pan, leading to brain damage, which made the boy’s criminal acts happen. Nobody won. I live with the daily threat of death or quadriplegia from motor vehicles defying the law on keeping proper distance. I have a surgically repaired neck that cannot take a “rear-ender”. Active defense is necessary against one of the most common murder weapons in the US.
We both try to be beneficial to this group.

I have some issues with mothers working–especially with young kids–but do you *really* believe that the problem with Islam is that the mothers are all working? Not so much…
And we don’t know anything about this Muslim thug’s home life. His parents may have been actively pro-Islam and OK with other kinds of violence or even violent themselves, they may have been distracted and clueless, or they may be wonderful people who gave birth to a psycho whom they did everything to help (it happens the other way around, too). We just don’t know.

Frank Anderson says
M.J., that is more or less exactly the approach used by the SPLC to sue and destroy the KKK. Nothing would insult the SPLC more than to “borrow” their approach to take down one of their favorite causes.
Bob Thompson says
“And any muslilms he associated with while they’re at it cause obviously none of them were these “moderate” muslims we keep hearing about, or they would have tried to talk some sense into him.”
If I’m not mistaken, it is prohibited by Islamic doctrine to interfere with another Muslim’s Jihad.
And that is how I reconcile the fact that none or very very very few Muslims try to educate us about the threat of Islam and Islamization even though we will befriend them and protect them and support and subsidize them.
They just smile and accept our hospitality. And whenever acts of violent jihad occur and we reflexively embrace the “moderate Muslims” even tighter to assure them that we dont believe THEY are “down” with these acts of violence, they say nothing to disabuse us of our false notions.
It is like going to dine at the home of a friend when you have the flu.
No one with any regard for the host would think of doing such a thing which might subject their entire household with a possibly deadly contagion.
Yet, that is what “moderate” Muslims do in America daily.
They come here without ever warning us of the threat they pose to our lives and government and way of life.
And we love and embrace them all the more in spite of it or BECAUSE of it.

Excellent song for the description of Islam. But it’s sad that these kind Ignorant radical left wing lunatics buy into this snake called Islam. It’s all in the Quran and it’s happening all over the world and the news media hides it. We’ve been warned by people all over the world who Islam has eaten away their way of life because they have elected this evil into their government, and we will regret the day we let this snake into America. This 2020 election, if Democrats are allowed to rule, it’s over for America, because the Democrats are in bed with the Snake..
Bob Thompson says
The Koran has all of the instructions needed to fill a believer’s head with garbage.
=============================================================
Violence
Does the Quran really contain over a hundred verses that sanction violence?
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that speak of war with nonbelievers, usually on the basis of their status as non-Muslims. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, most verses of violence in the Quran are open-ended, meaning that they are not necessarily restrained by historical context contained in the surrounding text (although many Muslims choose to think of them that way). They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subject to interpretation as anything else in the Quran.
The context of violent passages is more ambiguous than might be expected of a perfect book from a loving God. Most contemporary Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy book’s call to arms according to their own moral preconceptions about justifiable violence. Islam’s apologists cater to these preferences with tenuous arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally don’t stand up to scrutiny. Still, it is important to note that the problem is not bad people, but bad ideology.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to balance out those calling for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. Muhammad’s own martial legacy, along with the remarkable emphasis on violence found in the Quran, have produced a trail of blood and tears across world history.

There are no moderate muslims
Wellington says
“There are no moderate muslims.”
Well, actually there are, but they would be far more accurately described as “lazy Muslims.”
As Ibn Warraq has said, there are moderate Muslims but there is no moderate Islam. This is the intellectual “launching post” I would recommend to anyone for an accurate read on the greatest religious affliction over the longest period of time to mankind.
As always, the key is the ideology and NEVER the fact that many who adhere to a particular ideology don’t fully implement, or wrongly implement, its tenets. As an example, during the Cold War one could have found many Communist Party members in sundry nations who themselves did not want to commit a genocide on the upper and middle classes (Italian Communists come foremost to mind here) even though pure Marxist thought calls for exactly this.
Yep, the ideology should always be the primary focus. After all, one could find many hypocritical Christians but it would be fallacious to judge Christianity by this fact. Same with Islam, except the other way.
Larry says
No moderates, no radicals. Islam is just islam. The ones not doing the killing are the cheerleaders for those that are.

Well then, Larry, take it up with Ibn Warraq, who has written, among other works, “Why I Am Not A Muslim.” Or do you think you know more about Islam than Ibn Warraq?

eduardo odraude says
There is a sort of moderate Islam. When Muslims are a small percentage of a population, they often practice a “moderate” Islam. That is in imitation of Muhammad when he and his followers were a small group in Mecca. It was at that time that Muhammad said “to you your religion, to me my religion.” When he got to Medina and became a political leader and grew greatly in power, then “moderate” Islam went out the window. But in truth, even in Mecca, moderation was just a matter of necessity for him due to his weakness. Even then, as the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad shows, he was plotting violence, mayhem, and conquest.
James Lincoln says

Wellington says
Another Mohammedan lethal loser.
Islam “excels” in lethal losers.
This will continue, guaranteed, as long as Islam is looked upon as just another religion. It most surely is not. It is a religion which is also a totalitarian ideology and a mortal enemy, let’s see here as a “sampling,” of 1) freedom, 2) equality under the law, 3) women’s rights (I mean REAL women’s rights and not the phony-baloney women’s rights proffered by Mo’s creed), 4) graciousness (deuce difficult to be gracious to those who, per Islamthink, are considered the equivalent of human waste if not a Muslim), and 5) a live-and-let live attitude, which Islam, in typical control-freak fashion, denies to non-Muslims (when it can) such fine and tasty delights as bacon and beer, even upon the threat of great harm or actual death should one partake of these tasty products.
Then there is that special control-freak nonsense where Islam dominates to the effect that kuffaars (you know, unbelievers who are the equivalent of human waste as mentioned above) have to abide by by not eating during the daylight hours of the putrid, useless, silly, moronic month of Ramadan (Ramabutt?) because Muslims do this (and then gorge themselves once the sun sets).
Well, getting back to this very confused teen killer, it is evidence yet again that converts to Islam (every one of these at the very least a confused human being if not evil) tend to be very “devout.” “Devout” Muslims, whether converts or brought up in the warped faith which is Islam, are a menace to mankind in direct proportion to how devout they are—one of many nasty legacies of the worst religion ever created by man.
The burden continues. The burden is Islam—all of it. And all those, Muslim or non-Muslim, continuing to make excuses for Islam are quite ignorant at best, extra malevolent at worst. Going now ’cause I’m having for dinner an extra thick BLT and a couple of Yuenglings.

Greg Zotta says
No Muslim should be put in positions of power or elective office in the United States. Islam and Sharia law is not compatible are not compatible with the U.S. CONSTITUTION and American culture. Islam is a military and political system masquerading as a religion so they can use our First Amendment Freedom of Religion against us. Muslims will not assimilate into the American culture and look to change America into an Islamic State. Muslims can lie to the infidel to promote Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood states their goal is World Islam. They state they will destroy the western civilization from within. People will have to convert to Islam, become a slave or be dead. Their prophet Muhammad was a mass murderer, slaver and pedophile RAPIST. Look at what is going on with the Muslim invasion of Europe. We do not need it here.
James Lincoln says
Greg Zotta,

Totally agree – because Muslim’s give allegiance to their Political Ideology they should not be given citizenship (Japan only gives working visa’s to Muslim’s – no citizenship)! All citizenship should be revoked from Muslim’s!
Also America needs to close all Mosques asother countries have started – France closed down 2 last year!
Bob Thompson says
Great post!
Because our government is prohibited from discriminating against any religion, perhaps the way to stop Islamization is to use the inherent aggression and hegemony required of all Muslims to reduce and limit the numbers of Muslims allowed in our society.

This is stupid. I hope the parents win this case and then we can have a discussion on why this is such a dumb idea. It’s all about the perpetrator.

Florida: 17-year-old boy converts to Islam, slits throat of 13-year-old, killing him for mocking his new religion
…………………
This *poor kid*. God, I hate Islam. Kids–especially boys–mock each other all the time. This is true even among good friends. Could you imagine a Christian or Jewish child reacting so murderously? And as has been pointed out, “cutting the necks” is a specifically Islamic diktat. Even a very disturbed non-Muslim would be unlikely to respond in such a manner.
And yes–Publix should not have sold this kid a knife. But he is almost 18 (when it would have been legal for him to purchase any knife there), and all knives sold at this grocery store are intended for food prep–paring knives, small sets of steak knives, and bread knives. In fact, most of these knives wouldn’t even do much damage to a person, since that is not what they are intended for.
That the murderer had such a knife on him also implies premeditation, since the average person doesn’t walk around with a paring knife in their pocket.

Bob, I take your point about arming for defense, and I very much support it.
But I don’t think that this Muslim thug was carrying this knife as a defensive weapon, given that he stabbed a bunch of much younger children, murdering one of them, because they twitted him for his new creed.
John Paré says
I think any rational human being, whether you are religious or not, will agree that the God whom the Christians and Jews worship, and the god whom the Muslims worship is NOT one and same. We need to realize that Islam is the religion of Satan. And the Bible says that Satan is the ruler of this world. He is a liar and the father of lies. Islamism is only one facet of this evil and tyrannical domain in which we live. Abortion, euthanasia, LGBT agenda, gender dysphoria, false accusations in the highest places – these and more are all part of the evil forces which are encompassing the world today.
Satan is real folks. Angels are real. And they are much older and wiser and more knowledgeable than any of us. Is it any wonder that when someone “converts” to Islam and starts worshipping Satan, that the spiritual powers of darkness can hijack his soul, his very humanity, and turn him into a pawn of hate and destruction and death?
The enemy is not the Muslim PEOPLE. The enemy is Islam, the religion of hate. The Bible tells us we are to love our enemies. If we truly love our neighbor as ourselves, we will best serve the Kingdom of God by preaching the gospel of salvation to Muslims, Hindus, or any other non-believing person. Yes – the earth is a battleground and we are at war. But Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” NIV
Today’s children are not taught about good and evil in the schools. God has been removed from the curriculum. A vacuum has been created that Satan is only to willing to fill. Do we parents teach them at home about God and the Gospel? They have no defence!
So what can you and I do? Pray! Get on your knees and humble yourself and pray. And read the Bible. Know what God really says. God will teach you what to do and give you understanding to put it in perspective. Then compare to the filth that is in the Koran. You will immediately see that the two are diametrically opposite.
We will never defeat Islam. Not you or me, our respective countries or President Trump. But with God, if you save even one life, that is cause for great celebration even in heaven. Christ Himself will defeat Islam. He has already triumphed over death and will soon be back to finish the job on earth. We are living in prophetic times, folks. It’s all there in the Bible. I implore you to cast aside your doubts and fears. Ask yourself, “What if it’s really true”. “Could it be?” “Are we really living in the end of times that the Bible talks about?”
What have you got to lose by checking it out? What have you got to lose by brushing it off or doing nothing? Well for starters… your freedom, your way of life, your health, your family, your children, your livelihood, your wealth, your personal beliefs, your right to free speech, your possessions, your life and most importantly – your SOUL for all eternity. Your soul is the core YOU. It is what is when you say “I am”. It’s your consciousness, your essence. It is what lives on after physical death. And it will live on in glory with Christ or it will live on in darkness with the evil one. Please hear the Gospel message. Then share it with someone else.

We have not found a way to successfully vet the “Muslim people” well enough to make us safe from their terrorist efforts.
Luckily, terrorism can not destroy America. But Peaceful Jihad can destroy America and it is destroying America invisibly yet before our very eyes.

John Paré: “The enemy is not the Muslim PEOPLE.”
Bottom line, we must ASSUME they are all the enemy, or we must assume they are all NOT the enemy. It is impossible to realistically assume a middle position.
Explanation: They have all been exposed to the same indoctrination and upon penalty of death they are prevented from breaking free of same. The entire Islamic Ummah (Islamic community) is required to help advance Islam toward total global domination using violent Jihad (aka terrorism) and/or non violent Jihad.

The Many Jihads
Whenever there is Islamic violence the media uses the word “terror” not jihad. The problem is that the jihad of murder is only one of many types of jihads and it is the least of jihads. The jihad of murder will kill people, but the jihad of money, speech and writing brings us closer to Sharia. Sharia annihilates a civilization.
Civilizational jihad is found in the content of our new textbooks which praise Islam as the greatest of civilizations. These new textbooks are filled with half truths, which cannot be challenged. The jihad of textbooks will destroy the thinking of a generation.
The jihad of money has invaded our universities which reject critical thought about Islam in exchange for donations from the Saudis. The Islamisation of universities is far worse than murder.
Another jihad that is killing us is found in religious dialogues. The idea sounds wonderful, but the ignorant Jews and Christians just smile and nod their heads as they agree that Islam is so wonderful. Debate is absent by consent. And another nail is driven into the coffin of our civilization.
The jihad of murder is the very least of our problems.

Ben Shapiro: The Myth of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority …

The ‘peaceful’ Jihad in America
By Andrew C. McCarthy
Most Americans don’t realize that jihad is about much more than terrorism.
Even the terrorists don’t blow up buildings for the sake of blowing up buildings. There is method in their madness.
Jihad is not mindless mass-murder, nor is it a syrupy “internal struggle to become a better person.” No, jihad is the mission to establish and spread sharia.
The installation of Allah’s law, believed by Muslims to be a divine injunction, is the necessary precondition to the creation of Islamic societies. While it can, and often is, waged forcibly, Islamists don’t resort to violence (or, at least, to more violence) where surrenders, appeasements and capitulations are available.
And al Qaeda is merely an offshoot of the central Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Hizb al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin. Founded in 1928, the Ikhwan’s motto to this day remains, “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

Bob Thompson… Thank you for the informative reply. I wholeheartedly agree about the many forms of jihad and in no way do I mitigate the danger. And yes, we must ASSUME they are all the enemy. My main point is that we are commanded to “love our enemy as ourself”.
We Christians need to learn the FACTS as you have outlined. It is necessary to “know your enemy”. And we need to educate other Christians including pastors. As far as ASSUMING they are the enemy, this is also similarly true of any non-believer. Collectively they are all lost souls unless and until they individually choose to accept the Blood Sacrifice that Jesus Christ has made for their salvation and redemption. There is only one way to the Father and I will proudly be called a bigot for saying this.
It is our job and our commandment to preach the Gospel to all the world. We will not stop the jihad or the spread of Sharia. That is not our job. God has given us a respite in the person of President Trump . But it won’t last.
Luke 10:2-3 “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. 3 Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.” NLT
Hidden within the tares of Muslin immigration are the shafts of wheat which God has called.

Why is our government allowing this anti-Anerican political ideology into our country? It’s already taking over Minnesota and Michigan. What, political correctness? The Democrats bend over backwards to appease these freedom haters by enforcing and protecting Sharia law going against American laws. Perhaps it’s time to declare the Democratic party as the enemy of all free people.
Bob Thompson says
“Why is our government allowing this anti-Anerican political ideology into our country?”
Because our government is prohibited from discriminating against people based on their religion.
We must oppose Islam using non -religious reasons.
I propose we cite the inherent hegemony of followers of Islam, which makes them proselytize and work to sabotage our system from within and it is incumbent on ALL Muslims to do this.

The knife is not the problem. The store is not responsible. The problem is the group that the kid joined which taught him that he should kill non-members.
But we know there will be no investigation of the group. In the USA, you can do anything in the name of a religion, and no one dares challenge you. If this were not a religion, but a club, it would have been shut down decades ago.
So this group continues unhindered, and keeps on growing, knowing that it will get away with murder.
Frank Anderson says
N.M.H., until recently the rule of private tort responsibility for the criminal acts of another, who was not a co-conspirator, was governed by the concept “intervening criminal conduct” which shielded the third party from claims. Exceptions are being CARVED to make more uninvolved defendants pay for the criminal conduct for which they had only the most remote and often ordinary connection.
What is next: Making illegal the selling of a glass jar or bottle, frying pan, piece of pipe or wood, a baseball bat, a flashlight. . .how many other ordinary items can be made into weapons with littler or no effort. . . ?
gravenimage says
Good points, Frank.
Frank Anderson says
G.I. I am very sad to write this was the issue which ended my tenure locally. Fear of attacks led to actions that made the attacks more likely to meet the requirements of beating “intervening criminal conduct” rules. Having researched premises liability issues for more than 30 years, I knew things the pretend lawyers did not. It is probably another good illustration of “you can lead a horse to water. . .” and the advantage of being able to move on..
Capitalist-Dad says
So the murderer’s family turns his crime into a law suit treasure hunt? They raise a creep who joins murderous jihadist and kills an innocent, and it’s Publix’s fault.

Capitalist-Dad, it is actually the victim’s family that is suing the grocery story. Doesn’t mean this is a smart move, though…
Goofy says
This new Muslim had clearly demonstrated that he is a fast learner. Why not spend a few months interviewing him about the process which made him a Muslim. That would provide evidence that it is the Koran and it’s commands which cause this kind of crimes. Having charted the process that made the young man a murderer then prosecute his influencers like the Imam and close his temple of hatred. After that publish a new study version of the Koran with clear explanation of the criminal nature of it’s commands and how the US justice system metes out penalties for them and make it compulsory reading for all criminal Muslims.
Frank Anderson says
Goofy, I think if any time was spent interviewing him, unless it was by his defense lawyer’s effort to qualify him for an insanity defense, the interview could blow any prospects for a successful prosecution and conviction unless conducted after the conviction is final. He is being coached at every opportunity what to say in any interview that gets him off being responsible. Under those conditions, I think any professional would agree that distinguishing the truth from his coached responses makes the interview a waste of time, effort and money if the purpose is to learn or confirm what we already know. If we read the Koran and other books, especially those widely available from many author/editors, we know without having to wade through the lies, deception and nonsense that is part and parcel of teachings for 1400 years.
elee says
On reflection……there was probably nothing unique about this juvenile offender, there are millions of young men like this one in every town in the First World, equally susceptible to Muslim brainwashing. So is it wrong to demand that public schools inoculate the young against Muslim manipulation……or do we really believe that kids-murdering-kids is just a value-neutral cultural difference, and that our governments should be forced to maintain neutrality?…….Gee kids murdering your playmates is something that many cultures throughout the world endorse, and we shouldnt say unkind things about people from different cultures or religions. Is this what we have come to?
Billy Chickens says
Belief in Islam produces a darkened intellect. Islam does not reveal God and His infinite perfection. Christians “honor God by faith, which is of the mind, by hope, which is of the will, by love, which is of the heart; and thus the whole man is subjected to the Supreme Maker and Ruler of all things.” – Saint Pius X.
But Islam is the opposite because Allah is not God, the Maker and Ruler of all things. Allah is Satan, the Liar and Destroyer of all things, therefore Islam honors Lucifer by faith (in evil) which darkens the mind, by despair which leads the will to commit rash actions, by hatred which leads the heart to destruction of Truth, beauty and goodness.
Therefore a person newly inspired by Lucifer’s Islamic religion and taking up a knife and slitting another person’s throat is par for the course…an action that is a natural consequence of love of evil, death and destruction.
Brenda says
“It is unlawful to sell weapons to anyone under the age of 18 in Florida?” When this comes to court, I would find for the plaintiff and award them $1. This a frivolous lawsuit to begin with. How did the store know that the knife would be used as a weapon? Last I knew, stores don’t have crystal balls nor are they mind readers. No store should be held responsible for the actions of their patrons.
Criticizing someone’s religion falls under free speech.
If this person is found guilty, he should have his throat cut. #1 because it is the punishment that fits the crime. #2 we need to drive home the point that Sharia law will not be tolerated in this country.
Donovan Nuera says
it seems like a rule: Male converts are usually ugly losers who like violence, Female converts are stupid, liberal arts majors, have Daddy issues, who have never read the koran, and are enthralled by exotic fabrics on the head (with or without deeper S&M motivation).
gravenimage says
Generally good analysis, Donovan–this is indeed what most Western converts to Islam are like..
Just so you know, though, not all liberal arts majors are this clueless. I have a double baccalaureate in the liberal arts, and I am a hard-headed opponent of Islam.

Why are they not suing the sect of Muhammadanism who justified killing?
OLD GUY says
The death sentence needs to be in place for cases live this. We the tax payor should not be forced to support this muslim for the rest of his life. He deserves the death sentence, for the brutality of what he did.
John Paré says
Unfortunately that just makes him a martyr in the eyes of other Muslims which will encourage them even more. Perhaps it’s time to revisit the position of “separation of church and state”. There is no separation in Islam. Islam is a theocracy: it is the church and state and all other faiths are inferior and must be subdued.
We need to have a system whereby each religion needs to demonstrate its worth to society as a whole. It needs to show how its core beliefs are beneficial to mankind. It needs to account for its past and project where it endeavours to go looking forward. Here in Canada, churches have tax-exempt status. Don’t know about USA. This could be a place to start. If a church or religion cannot meet certain humanitarian standards, then they cannot lawfully function in the country. There needs to be accountability. There needs to be openness. And there needs to demonstrable proof of good intentions.
If Muslims cannot meet these criteria then the mosques are seized; sold or torn down. Adherents to their religion are deported. Insurgents dealt with harshly without remorse, jailed and deported in a timely manner. We need to show them who the REAL vilest of creatures really are by exterminating the vermin from our shores.
At the same time we need to realize that these are human beings. As such, any human being is worthy of our love and worthy to be saved. Jesus Christ died for all humans regardless of their faith and beliefs. Any Muslim or other non-believer who can accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, abandon or repent of their former ways and truly become a child of the Living God, is more than welcome to integrate into our society. Yes they basically have only one choice. Reason being that God provided only one way to have eternal life in glory with Him. But, unlike some others, we won’t kill you or torture you or force you to pay into a fund which allows us to spread over the face of the earth. No. We just want to get rid of you by way of the nearest boat or plane.

John, if governments started officially putting their stamp of approval on some religions and we throw out separation of church and state for Muslims, we would likely be in worse trouble than we are now.
Frank Anderson says
But, But, But, GI, how much separation of “church and state” exists under islam? Do “they” know something “we” don’t?
gravenimage says
Frank, of course I know that there is no separation of mosque and state.
And no–I don’t think we want to emulate Islam in this way, or in any other.

Our USELESS politicians have been kicking this can down the road for years now and refuse to get at the root of the problem! It is ISLAM!
America, we need to read our history with Shariah/Islamic law and their desire to form a global Caliphate, an Ummah ruled by Shariah law which includes America!
They need to start with a March 28, 1786 written by John Adams Thomas Jefferson outlining a meeting they had with a Tripoli ambassador who explained to them why it was their right to hijack American merchant ships! Their ultimate goal was outlined then and it appears it still holds true now. They just changed tactics and strategy to the point they have already infiltrated our federal, state and local government, media, law enforcement, etc. and our USELESS politicians have never held hearings on our Founders letter nor how their inattention to their oath of office/affirmation, our Constitution and our national security is in danger has allowed our enemy to form a political party, write a plan they call their “civilization-jihadist process plan” to slowly infiltrate America and then destroy us from within.
This what we get when our USELESS politicians ignore two of our Founding Fathers and former presidents 233-years ago.
Would you consider this statement to be contrary to our Constitution, our way of life, a danger to our National/Homeland Security and the preservation of our Constitution? Would you think these are words of an enemy? Surely, both the House and the Senate studied this but where are the reports?
“The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every musselman [muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.” http://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-09-02-0315
This statement was a part of a March 28, 1786, letter from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Continental Congress, concerning their conversation with Tripoli’s to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman as to why his pirates/terrorists hijacked our merchant ships, stole the ships and cargo while holding the sailors for ransom.
If you are afraid to go directly to the weblink just Google March 28, 1786, letter from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to John Jay.

Since the parents are intent on making “someone” pay, they should consider, seriously, suing the imam, the barracks, and any other moslim that spoke with or taught the creep who became the murderer he wished to be.
The Catholic Church has been sued by many because of what some of their “priests” did to young boys entrusted to their care and guidance. These suits brought the problems of the Church before the community and raised many questions about what goes on behind the scenes, about the pope’s position on the matter, etc.
If the parents sued the guilty, they just might open a few eyes…in Florida and around the country.
Publix is a well-liked chain of grocery stores. It would be foolish, imo, to sue the store that sold the knife to the moslim who intended…beyond what the store employee could see…to murder the child.
Why make it difficult for the store, its employees, and its customers?
Sue the creep for wrongful death, the parents of the creep, the barracks where he learned to “prey,” the imam, those with whom he associated and “learned” how to excuse his evil heart.
And it matters not if the moslim creep was “mocked.” People are mocked and ridiculed every day of the week and twice or thrice on Sunday. Christians are mocked for their “religion.” Being mocked is no excuse for murder.
Killing can be “justified” by some application of the Law. But, being mocked is not one of those. You walk away, you ignore, you let it go.
moslims never do “let it go.” They do the direct opposite: they fabricate “injury” and if someone does mock or call them names, they carry their “hurt and injury” to the extreme.
If the imam and the moslims who convinced this murderer that he could murder with “god’s blessing,” and the barracks where he went, where those with whom he conversed attended, were all sued, it might open a few eyes. It wouldn’t change islam, but it might make more people aware of what the imams teach from their unholy filthy book.
