Police shot a Somali man wielding an ax and a knife after he broke into the home of a cartoonist who drew a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban. LOL on the cartoon. Well, if the shoe fits….but crazy Muslims flipped out.
Jakob Scharf said in a statement that a 28-year-old man with ties to Al Qaeda entered Kurt Westergaard's home in Aarhus Friday night. But Westergaard pressed an alarm and police arrived minutes later.
The attack on the artist, whose rendering was among 12 that led to the torching of Danish diplomatic offices in predominantly Muslim countries in 2006, was "terror related," Scharf said. He said the man would be charged with attempted murder.
Westergaard, whose 5-year-old granddaughter was in the home on a sleepover, sought shelter in a specially made safe room when the suspect broke a window of the home, said Preben Nielsen of the Aarhus police.
Officers arrived two minutes later and tried to arrest the assailant, who wielded an ax at a police officer. The officer then shot the man in a knee and a hand, authorities said. Nielsen said the suspect was hospitalized but his life was not in danger. [too bad]
Kudos to the police who shot the idiot. Here they would apologize and kiss their butts. I had a picture of that cartoon on Photobucket. They deleted it.
So much for freedom of speech and expression. Scared little cowards. Grow a pair!
Here it that oh-so-offensive sketch.
