Minnesota: Playing the criminal name
game again! by Ann Corcoran 3/10/18
Too
funny! Send me more of these stories, like the ones I mentioned in my post a
couple of days ago, here,
where I explained that readers are virtually never told anything about the
immigration status or ethnicity of someone arrested. They are simply referred
to as the “man”.
From
his photo and his name we know he is Somali and likely a refugee (from a
refugee family) since the vast majority of Somalis in the US came in through
the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program. Thanks to reader JC for sending this news from yesterday:
Student, 19, Charged For School
Shooting Threat On SnapchatMINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 19-year-old man faces charges
after allegedly threatening a school shooting via social media. According to a criminal complaint, Omar Fuad Abdi is charged with one
count of terroristic threats. The complaint states police responded to Ubah Medical Academy in Hopkins Tuesday
on a report of a student with a bullet.
This one is easy: Omar Abdi is Somali
A
staff member told police he took a bullet from Abdi during gym class. He also
said he had a video of Abdi robbing someone with a handgun.
When
police spoke to Abdi, he said he was the person in the video, but the robbery
was staged and the gun was a BB gun. He said he found the bullet outside of the
school.
Wednesday,
police were alerted to a threatening Snapchat post by Abdi. “School shooter
coming tmr [sic] !!! Go tell the cops,” the message read.
Police
met with Abdi at the school, where he admitted he wrote the message, but did
not actually intend to shoot anyone. According to the complaint, he “wanted to
see how people would feel after learning of the post.”
I
know every one of you, when you see stories like this one, want to know where
he is from and how he got here. As Ann Coulter says, we all get out our “secret
decoder rings” and play the name game. But, the police and the mainstream media
seem hell-bent on keeping that information secret.
I
was interested to learn what the Ubah
Medical Academy is
and this (below) is what I learned at their website.
The
refugee industry spawns new cottage industries!
It
is a public charter school almost completely made up of Somali students. Again
we see that government-funded effort to encourage separateness rather than
encouraging assimilation. “Culturally
sensitive environment!”
Our Mission
The mission of Ubah Medical
Academy is to provide students with a rigorous education that will prepare them
for college and the pursuit of medical, or other meaningful careers in our
community. As a public charter high school, Ubah Medical Academy is open to all students, but our program is
inclusively designed to meet the unique needs of international students and
their families in a culturally sensitive environment.
