If this dude isnt at least tried or electrocuted. ppl need to stay away from Indiana. The basketball players of the Pacers aren’t happy there, the Jackson 5 left, Coach Knight would phsyically abuse his players and throw a chair on the court, Reggie never won there. IN do better

Sounds less insane and more radicalized by the far right.

This is bullshit, the suspect needs to be treated as a serious criminal.

Which group commits the vast majority of violence directed towards “Asians”?

We need more knife control in this country

It's such an insult to the people with mental illnesses. The vast majority of them don't commit violent racist crimes.

Good then lock him up in insane asylum omg perfect punishment. Lets see how insane suspect really is. 😉

Okay, your insane, but guilty as charge!

Three attacks in 24 years is considered 'an on going issue'?

Other mainstream media are almost silent on this.

Important to note, Bloomington is often cited as one of the nicer and more liberal part of the state.

insanity defense will not do it. The old b*8* needs to go to jail for life!!!

'The suspect stabbed the student b/c the student was 'Chinese,' adding it 'would be one less person to blow up our country.' Sounds 'insane' to anyone who doesn't have right-wing media sludge pumped into their faces 24/7 but it's just stochastic terrorism and 100% on message.

Suspect in stabbing of Indiana University student has history of 'severe mental illness': attorneyBillie Davis, who is white, allegedly said she was motivated by race when she repeatedly stabbed the student, who is of Asian descent, on a city bus in Bloomington on January 11th, according to court documents and a student group. BIPOC suspects 'severe mental illness' never gets talked about . The women already stated she was racially motivated. She is definitely off by a lot!!! No shit. Most of these stabbings and massive shootings are a direct result of mental illiness. No one just decides to go out and kill a bunch of people while having their morning coffee and bagel. Been saying this for years we need to treat mental illnesses or this will continue.
