Texas: Man plots mass shooting at Walmart, had Qur’an, Saudi flag, Nazi symbols, media ignores Islamic items - Robert Spencer

 

​ by Robert Spencer

Why does the establishment media always consider it a duty to cover up for Islam and the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings?

Note that while Coleman Thomas Blevins’ Qur’an and Saudi flag (which features the Islamic profession of faith, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet”) feature prominently in the photo of his paraphernalia, the execrable New York Post doesn’t mention them, while making sure to note that he had a “swastika and other Nazi symbols and extremist books like The Turner Diaries.'”

I’m not saying he is a jihadi. He seems like a nut, with a smorgasbord of subversive material of all kinds. But why does the Post not deign to mention that some of that material was Islamic? Why does the establishment media always consider it a duty to cover up for Islam and the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings?

“Texas neo-Nazi arrested for planning mass shooting at Walmart: cops,” by Gabrielle Fonrouge, New York Post, May 30, 2021 (thanks to Charles):

An apparent neo-Nazi in Texas has been arrested for planning a mass shooting at a Walmart, police said Sunday.

Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28, was arrested Friday in Kerrville, about 70 miles northwest of San Antonio, after investigators intercepted a message indicating he planned to carry out a mass shooting with a specific threat that included Walmart, the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook post.

Investigators from the sheriff’s office made contact with Blevins and confirmed “his affiliation and networking with extremist ideologies” and determined he was capable of “following through with the threat” so they “moved immediately to arrest him,” cops said.

The sheriff’s office posted an image of Blevins and evidence they found after a search warrant of his home.

Items found in Blevins’ home included flags depicting the swastika and other Nazi symbols and extremist books like “The Turner Diaries,” which was written by the leader of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“Firearms, ammunition, electronic evidence, concentrated THC, and radical ideology paraphernalia, including books, flags, and handwritten documents” were also seized, cops said….

Meanwhile, Fox doesn’t describe what Blevins had at all:

“Texas man arrested for alleged terror plot after planning mass shooting at Walmart,” by Lucas Manfredi, Fox News, May 30, 2021:

A Texas man believed to be a threat to national security after planning a mass shooting at a local Walmart has been arrested by the Kerr County Sheriffs Office.

According to authorities, 28-year-old Coleman Thomas Blevins, of Kerrville, was arrested by the KCSO Special Operations Division in the 1000 block of Junction Highway on Friday on a warrant for a Terroristic Threat to Create Public Fear of Serious Bodily Injury.

The arrest was made in coordination with the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Division, the Kerrville Police Department’s Patrol Division, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service.

On Thursday, investigators intercepted a message indicating that Blevins was preparing to proceed with a mass shooting, in which he made a specific threat that included Walmart. In partnership with the FBI, investigators moved to arrest Blevins after confirming his “affiliation and networking with extremist ideologies” and capability of following through with the threat.

Following the arrest, a search warrant was executed at Blevins’ residence in the 200 block of Spence Street for seizure of firearms, ammunition, electronic evidence, concentrated THC, and radical ideology paraphernalia, including books, flags, and handwritten documents….
