Roslindale and the prevaricators in the White House

The office of Orbit Cinnamon Gum addict Sean Spicer is out with its list of allegedly "underreported" terrorist incidents, and it includes the June, 2015 incident in which an FBI agent and a Boston cop shot a Roslindale man to death before he could run them through with a knife in the parking lot of the CVS on Washington Street in Roslindale.

Underreported my ass.

Note that this all came about because the Vulgar Talking Yam claimed the news media was ignoring terrorist incidents (true, the media DID miss the Bowling Green Massacre, because, of course, it didn't happen).

Rather than admitting a mistake or a lie, of course, his palanquin bearers tried to shift the window and blame the media for underreporting terrorist incidents, such as San Bernardino and the Usaama Rahim incident and conspiracy.

I happen to know about the Rahim case not just because we use that drugstore, but because I was one of roughly a gazillion reporters who covered Rahim's death and the investigations and arrests that followed it.

There are 9,615 links on Google to accounts of the incident. The Globe covered it extensively. The New York Times wrote numerous stories about the case. The Washington Post covered it. And as you might expect, the case gave Fox News quite the foxnewsboner. But don't worry, ABC News covered the story, too, as did CBS and NBC. Even the BBC and the CBC made note of the case.

On June 4, 2015, Rahim's family held a press conference in the CVS parking lot. When they were done, a media scrum followed them back to their car:

Maybe Spicer should spend less time loading up his Super Soaker.
