| Mall shooting suspect was 'zombie-like' when arrested, officials say | |||
| 2016-09-26 | |||
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! Saturday, according to authorities. At a news conference, officials said they had not ruled out any possible motives for why 20-year-old Arcan Cetin allegedly shot four women and one man at the Cascade Mall in Burlington Friday evening. Island County Sheriff's Lt. Mike Hawley told news hounds that he spotted Cetin near the suspect's home in Oak Harbor, around 30 miles due west of the mall. Hawley said he immediately recognized Cetin as the suspect, turned his patrol car around and arrested Cetin without incident. "He said nothing," said Hawley, who added that Cetin was unarmed and carrying a computer in a satchel when he was apprehended. "He was kind of zombie-like." Mount Vernon Police Lt. Chris Cammock said Cetin had immigrated to the U.S. from ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and was a "legal permanent resident." It was not immediately clear when Cetin came to the U.S. Hawley said Cetin had been arrested for simple assault last year, but provided no further details on the case. The Seattle Times reported that Cetin faced three domestic violence assault charges in both Burlington and Island County, with the victim identified as Cetin's stepfather. The newspaper reports Cetin also was arrested for drunken driving. Court records show Cetin was told by a judge on Dec. 29 that he was not to possess a firearm, the newspaper reported. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the stepfather urged the judge not to impose a no-contact order, saying his stepson was "going through a hard time." Cetin was arrested almost exactly 24 hours after his alleged victims were shot at the mall Macy's makeup counter. The four female victims died in the store. The male victim died early Saturday as police finished sweeping the 434,000-square-foot building. Local media outlets had identified the victims as of early Sunday. One was 16-year-old Sarai Lara, a cancer survivor and high school sophomore. Her mother, Evangelina, told the Seattle Times that through a translator that she was shopping with Sarai and her younger sister, but they split up. She said Sarai went to Macy's looking for pants. News of the shooting spread through the mall, and Lara tried to get to her daughter but was unable to do so. KIRO-TV identified two more victims as Belinda Galde, 64, and her mother, 95-year-old Beatrice Dotson. The Seattle Times identified the other two victims as Macy's makeup artist Shyla Martin, 52, and Chuck Eagan, a Boeing maintenance worker who was shot while helping his wife flee the store. "There are people waking up this morning, and their world has changed forever. The city of Burlington has probably changed forever, but I don't think our way of life needs to change," Burlington Mayor Steve Sexton said earlier Saturday. "This was a senseless act. It was the world knocking on our doorstep, and it came into our little community." Surveillance video captured the suspect entering the mall unarmed and then recorded him about 10 minutes later entering the Macy's with a "hunting type" rifle in his hand, Cammock said. The lieutenant said late Saturday that the rifle was apparently brought into the mall from a suspect vehicle. The weapon was recovered at the scene. "Probably one of the most difficult moments for us last night was knowing that there were family members wondering about their loved ones in there," Cammock said. Burlington, a community of 8,600 people, is about 65 miles north of Seattle, too far to be a commuter town, but its population swells to 55,000 during the day because of a popular outlet mall, retail stores and other businesses. Burlington is the only major retail center within 30 miles in a region where agriculture is king, said Linda Jones, president of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce. Homeland Security Chair: ‘Good Chance’ Mall Shooting is Islamic Terror
McCaul appeared on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the latest developments in a week of violence, from last weekend’s bombings in New York and New Jersey, which were allegedly carried out by Moslem immigrant Ahmad Khan Rahami, to the shooting at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington. On Saturday evening, police incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! Arcan Cetin, 20, a Moslem immigrant and permanent resident from ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , for the shootings, in which four women and one man were killed. Cetin was unarmed at his arrest, though he allegedly used three guns stolen from his father in the shooting. Bartiromo and McCaul discussed both attacks, and discussed possible terror links in the latter case: Bartiromo: There was a Washington mall shooter. He’s been caught. The suspect was 20 years old. Turkish, Moslem, Arcan Cetin. He was arrested for murder of the five people he killed in the mall in Washington State. What can you tell us about him? Is this related to Islamic terrorism? Thus far, police have suggested that a likely motive for Cetin could have been personal, as his ex-girlfriend worked at the Macy’s store in the mall where the shooting began.

| #9 And according to Ay Pee (Rantburg only allows two links per comment, because of spam), after confessing to the murders to police, our villain today was charged in court with five counts of premeditated murder. His stepfather told the court the yoot has mental health issues that they've been working on. Perhaps that is so, but he definitely has culture clash issues he is uninterested in fixing. He should feel right at home as the low man on the prison totem pole. |

| #8 According to The Telegraph, a gentleman who let our villain stay with him and his wife because he was homeless ended up kicking him out a few months later because he was using and dealing drugs. According to The Daily Mail, in high school our villain was very aggressive with the girls, grabbing bottoms and talking about/to them very rudely. One girl who ended up in the apartment next door to his kept a stun gun by the door after he sent her a photo of his crotch on snapchat. In other words, a typical Middle Eastern Muslim male who believes he is entitled to take what he wants from the uncovered meat. He would have benefitted from being beaten up by the boys in his class each time he tried it until he learned to behave properly, but kids are taught to not respond to legitimate provocation nowadays. |

| #7 Mrs. Crazy mentioned to me this morning that someone was filing suit against Macy's for failure to provide security. I haven't seen any mention of this so can't provide a link. has anyone else? Note that the mall is a Gun-Free zone so perhaps this would have some standing... |

| #6 Actually a sane society that allowed 1 man to have 4 wives would encourage a 4 to 1 ratio of female to males. |

| #5 See graphic on bottom of this link with up to a 274 men to 100 woman ratio and 4 wives and multiple concubines allowed leaving the likely ratio worse. Is it any wonder that muslim men are belligerent? Change your stupid religion! |

| #4 It's still terrorism because these "individual" acts are part of a broader plan set out by terrorist organizations. |

| #3 Suspect was "zombie-like.?" Could be a Hildabeest voter. |

| #1 Said it before: Terrorism includes, by definition, the intent to make a political statement or political change. But we have a different issue here. Some of the jihadis just like to do this stuff because Allah said they should. No political issues involved. We need a name for this besides "Terrorism". |
