Police say they know who stabbed nine people at an Idaho apartment complex that houses refugees -- but the motive remains a mystery.

Suspect Timmy Kinner, 30, faces nine counts of aggravated battery and six counts of injury to a child for the Saturday night attack, Boise police said.

Suspect Timmy Kinner is not a refugee but lived temporarily at the complex, police said.
Four of the victims from are suffering life-threatening injuries, authorities said. And six of the nine victims are children.
"The suspect's exact motives and reasons for attacking specific individuals is still under investigation," police said Sunday.
Kinner is not a refugee and is from Los Angeles, police said. They said early evidence shows he was a temporary resident at the apartment complex until he was asked to leave on Friday.
The stabbing victims included members of Boise's refugee community, Police Chief William Bones said. He said some of the injuries are "very, very serious."
"As you can imagine, the witnesses in the apartment complex -- along with the rest of our community -- are reeling from this attack," the police chief said.
"This incident is not a representation of our community, but a single evil individual who attacked people without provocation that we are aware of at this time."

This is the world that Republicans desire.
Doesn't matter what this man's motive is.

They've dehumanised refugee children, and do not give a shit about them.

Though to be fair to Republicans when Americans are shot in school shootings they also don't care .

Where X marks the spot.
Not so long ago Americans were feeding children to Alligators and taking community photos around lynchings while they took trophy body parts. This all seems in line to me.

Dude is a transient who was mad he was being kicked from the apartment complex.
Not to say xenophobia didn't play a role at all, but that appears to be the motive.

Local news will bias stories as well.
Also, if he was really upset about getting kicked from the apartment complex, he should have sliced up his landlord. Not refugee kids.

He's apparently not right in the head. He was just staying with someone who lived at the complex who told him to scram because of his "erratic behavior".

Again, xenophobia/racism could be at the heart of it still, perhaps dude couldn't handle being around foreigners and that's why he was acting the way he was.

Terrible news. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

We as Americans need to do real work to address mental health (and homelessness) as well as xenophobia.
