Reverberations from the past at Merced

From the Sacramento Bee: The family of the 18-year-old UC Merced freshman who stabbed four people in 2015 has filed for a restraining order to prevent the release of his manifesto and related reports, according to documents filed in Alameda County Superior Court. A computer science student from Santa Clara, Faisal Mohammad wielded a 10-inch knife on Nov. 4, 2015, before he was shot to death by a campus police officer, according to authorities. A lawyer filed the restraining order against the University of California’s Board of Regents on May 30 on behalf of Wasim Mohammad, the younger Mohammad’s father. The document argues the release of those records would cause “great or irreparable harm,” invade the privacy of the Mohammad family and offers few benefits to the public interest... 

Authorities were preparing to release two police reports, a handwritten plan for the violence and a copy of an Isil flag printed from the internet on computer paper, which Mohammad reportedly carried with him during the attack. Isil is sometimes called Isis or the Islamic State... The FBI has since determined Mohammad was self-radicalized, inspired by the Islamic State but not connected to organized terror groups...


NOTE: UCLA has an on-campus radio station which operates around the clock, seven days a week, broadcasting local emergency and travel advisories to UCLA employees, students and visitors. Tune your radio to AM 1630 when on campus or in Westwood.

Nowadays, folks often don't have an AM radio at home, or think they don't. But if you're one of those, you likely have one in your car.
