So according to the CBC:

"Authorities declined to comment on a potential motive and said they were struggling to piece together Holloway's background."

and that's the last word on what might have been behind this.

But according to what looks like a local TV or radio station:

"A woman in a car with its windows down screamed "Allahu Akbar" as she ran up onto the sidewalk and ran-over upwards of 40 people in Las Vegas last night."

What does it mean? Does it matter? I don't know but I find it interesting how police manage to lock up some info tight as a drum, when in other cases they seem to be falling over themselves to slip the favored media details that might push the right agenda buttons.

BTW did you hear that guy in California who may or may not have had a pipe bomb, was a fan of Donald Trump. Well you didn't need me to tell you that, did you? It's the lead to the story.

But witnesses hear a woman screaming "Allahu Akbar" who's driving into crowds in front of the Miss Universe pageant on the LA strip, and that apparently is not worth mentioning.

Even if the story is not true, tell me how the other guys got that detail wrong CBC.

In all fairness, this woman looks to be a prostitute who went batshit crazy and there's nothing in her history that I've seen so far that indicates she's actually a Muslim.

I'm more amazed you actually believed that crap.

$1:

Years before police said she intentionally drove onto a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk, killing one person and injuring 37 others, Lakeisha Holloway was publicly honored for turning her life around.

"Boy, have I come a long ways," Holloway said in a 2012 video by the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, which helps at-risk youth with education and career training.

"I was a scared little girl who knew that there was more to life outside of crime, drug addiction, lower income, alcoholism, being undereducated -- all of which I grew up being familiar with."

Thanks to the nonprofit, she went from homelessness to a job with the federal government and "living the grand life."

Portland OIC, the nonprofit that honored Holloway with a C.A.R.E. Role Model Award in 2012, expressed shock over her arrest.

"She was such a great kid while she was a part of our program," one of the youth employment staff members said, according to a POIC statement.

In her 2012 video, Holloway said she was homeless in high school and nearly failing all her classes.

But she graduated with a B+ average, went on to college and started working with the U.S. Forest Service.

"Today, I am not the same scared girl I used to be," she said in the video. "I'm a mature young woman who has broken many generational cycle(s) that those before me hadn't."

But we know that she shouted Allahu Akbar. Why would she do that unless she was a Muslim terrorist. (sorry for the redundancy).

Andy,

I said she appears to be a prostitute because her story is that she was in Las Vegas and working as a 'model'. TMZ found some of her 'portfolio' that was clearly shot by an amateur and with a cell phone - the pictures look more like what you would see on Craig's List for 'escorts' than they look like anything for a legitimate modeling site like for instance the marginally legitimate 'Model Mayhem'.

Lisa and I do photography and over the years we've both occasionally been approached by self-labeled 'models' who send me their pictures to introduce themselves. I run the shots on TinEye and if they come up on escort ads I refuse the business. Thus I'm pretty familiar with what these pix look like and Ms. Holloway's shots on TMZ (click into the link for the obvious hooker shots) are pretty obvious.

Yeah, but you don't get it.

It isn't that I necessarily believe the local radio station's version of events over the CBC's.

But why will one alleged observer's remarks be considered when another's will not.

I'll give you another example. Do you remember Robert Dear? The "Planned Parenthood shooter.

Well one of the local newspapers interviewed a guy who was waiting in his car outside the office when Dear arrived.

I read it. He tells how what he first saw was a guy on all fours crawling from the parking lot into Planned Parenthood. Dear followed him in. Something happened in the parking lot. The guy was trying to escape it. Dear followed him into the PP office.

The observer guy started his car up to take off. Dear turned and pointed his gun at him.

OK so when the mainstream media repeated that story, they told you about Dear pointing the gun at the guy from the PP office, but they didn't tell you how he got there. Why not?

Even if you don't believe that detail, and you're reporting the story, call it alleged, if you like, but tell us the detail.

What other observers remark?

You only posted the remark of one person which suits your anti-Muslim agenda and nothing else in the article.

Further, maybe the remark lacked credibility? (Which it did) There's a lot of Americans would wouldn't hesitate to fabricate a story like this to further their agenda and get their 5 minutes of fame.

[N_Fiddledog]

What I object to specifically is the method of lying that tells you one thing but withholds another bit of information.

I'll give you another one that's CBC specific and that you may remember.

Do you remember when Chief Theresa Spence of Attawapiskat was on a supposed hunger strike on some island outside Ottawa?

Do you remember how - not just the CBC - but all the Canadian media were so impressed by her. They were spinning this noble savage tale of the Chief starving herself in the cold, in protest against the white oppressors?

Do you remember that? You might, but will yourmind allow you to remember when Ezra Levant turned up and said "Wait a minute. This broad's a crook. Her and her white boyfriend are taking their reserve for a ride. Here's the official paper that's available to anybody showing how they're ripping off the system. If you do remember that, do you remember how the story then changed?

Kinda like what you just did above?

Provide just specific parts of a story to suit your agenda?

You're not much different than those news organizations that like to cherry pick. They all do that, TV, magazines and newspapers.....and you.

My point was the CBC will tell you some alleged witnesses remarks, but not others. It doesn't matter if they're believed. Say "alleged" if you like, but tell us the whole story.

So what you're really asking is what witnesses did the CBC use in the article you don't seem to have read. They used a valet's remarks and a guy who was watching while sitting having dinner, but they did not use the witness who claimed he heard the woman screaming out the car window as she swerved to smash into people.
