7-year-old girl attacked with knife in Detroit.

NY Post: Deranged old man slits throat of 7-year-old girl playing in park.

“I was playing and then I saw like a man,” Saida told WXYZ Detroit, “I said ‘hi’ to him.”

That politeness gave no pause to Gary Lansky, 73, who proceeded to grab the girl’s head and pull out a pocket knife, according to authorities.

“And he just put up my head and then he just slide the knife on my throat,” Saida told the station Thursday.

“He came up to her out of all the kids, like why her,” [her mother Amira] Sharhan added, “It’s unbelievable. I don’t know how to explain it really.”

[...] she kicked him, ran home, and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.

"They said that she's lucky, she's very lucky. It was really deep, the cut," Sharhan said.

The alleged attacker, 73-year-old Gary Lansky, is charged with assault with intent to murder and felonious assault.

The Michigan chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) believes the case should be investigated as a hate crime.

“This is a hate crime. It’s not a random act of violence,” said Arab-American Civil Rights League Executive Director, Mariam Charara.

In this instance, CAIR and AACRL are spot on.

Lansky is - you guessed it - playing the Victim Card. He's old. He has dementia. He didn't know what he was doing. Really? He picked the little Muslim kid out of all the other children, slit her throat and didn't know and understand what he did? Hate Crime!

What's this from FB?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

You may recall last year's tragic stabbing of a Detroit Synagogue President, Samantha Wolf. This story received national MSM coverage several nights in a row breathlessly describing it as, "an apparent anti-semitic attack," until the investigation proved it was random, the attacker didn't know Ms. Wolf and didn't know she was  Jewish. 

Narratives. Some are more newsworthy than others.
