In reply to the discussion: Muslim Boston Man Killed Holding Knife Was Planning Beheading, Officials Say [View all]PersonNumber503602
(1,134 posts)I just watched some videos on youtube of a a group of people who think aliens live under Walmart. Which, oddly enough, I'm starting to think may be true.
People who not in their right minds believe all sorts of nutty things.
I'm not 100% sure where the idea of him attacking fully armored police phalanx comes from though. Is it being said that he planned on attacking riot police or something? If not, then I don't find it too hard to believe that someone could sneak up on an lone officer and stab him. Then once the officer is incapacitated or killed, someone could attempt to behead the person. He could also have had plans to attack off duty police.
When you say fully armored police officers, are you referring to the officers who approached him? If so, I don't think that was the situation he had in mind when he said he wanted to behead some officers. That was a situation that he was forced into so that he wouldn't be able to sneak attack a lone officers. He knew it was over at that point and he wouldn't be able to carry out his plan, so he did, what in his mind, was his only option. It's not much different than criminals who get in a final shoot out with police even though they know there is no way out. People can be crazy.
If I'm not understanding something correctly, please feel free to set me straight.
