Awad has been “ordered to undergo further psychiatric evaluation.”
Yet he is clearly an example of how all this psychologizing of criminality endangers people. If he had been serving time for his battery and theft in Florida, he might not have been free to attack the rabbi in Boston.
And why is he in the country at all? He is clearly violent and dangerous. What obligation do U.S. citizens have for his upkeep and continued residence in this country?
“Egyptian who ‘stabbed Boston rabbi eight times outside synagogue said ‘all Jews are stingy and evil’ – as he is charged with hate crimes for bloody attack,” by Snejana Farberov, Daily Mail, July 8, 2021:
The Egyptian national who authorities said pulled a gun on a Boston rabbi and stabbed him eight times outside a Jewish school last week on Thursday was charged with hate crimes, after prosecutors claimed the suspect referred to all Jews as ‘stingy and evil.’
Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Margaret Hegarty said during a hearing in Brighton Municipal Court that Khaled Awad arrived in the US from the Middle East with strong religious views and opinions’ against Jews, Christians and the American culture.
The prosecutor quoted Awad as telling a witness: ‘all Jews are stingy and evil.’…
According to prosecutors, people who knew Awad said he harbored biased views toward various racial groups, including whites and blacks, but he was ‘especially harsh on Jews.’
Awad, who was previously described by his former roommate as a violent anti-Semite, did not tolerate having his views challenged and would grow angry, according to officials.
Hegarty said Awad was seen acting suspiciously near the Shaloh House the day before the attack, when he first demanded Noginski’s car keys, Hegarty said. In addition, Noginski was wearing a yarmulke and Awad had to walk past a Menorah, suggesting that he targeted Jews, the prosecutor argued….
Awad’s court-appointed attorney, Stephen Weymouth, requested a competency evaluation. A court clinician told the judge that Awad has been diagnosed as bipolar and has not been taking his medications while in Massachusetts.
It was also revealed that Awad was found unfit to stand in Florida last year and instead was sent to a mental health facility after being arrested on battery and theft charges.
‘Competency could be an issue,’ Weymouth said in court. He also dismissed the idea that the stabbing was a hate crime, and said it was more likely a ‘crime of opportunity’ in an effort to steal a vehicle.
Awad was ordered to undergo further psychiatric evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital….
According to the court documents, when police located Awad, he pointed what appeared to be a firearm at them. Three officers drew their firearms and ordered the suspect to drop his weapon multiple times, authorities said. The suspect then lowered his weapon and threw it to the ground.
Awad kicked one of the officers in the stomach as he was being assisted into a transport vehicle for booking, police said….
Aidan Anderson, a former roommate of Awad’s who is Jewish, also told CBS News that he ended up moving out and had to obtain a restraining order last fall when Awad attacked him in their shared kitchen.

Your sewers are overloaded with this stuff, why/how do they get in, ditto UK.
Walter Sieruk says
If that Muslims really is mentally ill it’s probably because his religion drove him crazy.
Ray Jarman says
Walter,
Maybe Islam is a mental decease in itself? If this is the case, then, it should be eradicated.
Walter Sieruk says
To Ray, you do have a rather solid point in that you keyboard,. Still Islam is so terrible indoctrinated and ingrained in the hearts ,minds and souls of so many Muslims that human efforts alone will not eradicate this deadly , deceptive and demonic false religion.
Nevertheless , to those good people who are so idealistically sincere but unrealistic as to attempt to. they should then go ahead and try. Good for them.
tim gallagher says
It’s that old choice, when it comes to this maggot, Walter, is he bad (evil) or mad? Either way, islam produces evil and, maybe also, mad monsters like this person in huge numbers. I agree with what you say, Ray, islam, along with Nazism and Communism, all of which have slaughtered so many millions of people, all should be eradicated. What an improvement that would be for the entire human race. Whether they are a form of mental illness or just damned evil ideologies, they need to go.
Keith O says
I like that this scumbag is “to undergo further psychiatric assessment”.
In simple terms, “lets close the mental health defence”.
I suspect both the judge and the prosecutor know he is just an evil bastard, but need to jump through the legal hoops to prove he got a fair trial so that can be less chance of the racism and islamophobia claims that will be sure to spew forth from the left and CAIR.

Boston: Antisemitic Muslim migrant who stabbed rabbi arrested for battery last year, sent to mental health facility
……………
Clearly that took care of everything…sarc/off
Giacomo Latta says
Is there any university in the US brave enough to do a study on a link between following Islam and mental illness? Probably not because one of the possible outcomes would be that a certain number of years of Islamic study renders one psychotic.
