Ibragim Todashev Murder Story Changes: "He's Comin Right at Us… with a Metal Stick!"

David has left us another link to another incredibly stupid Washington Post propaganda piece. Apparently the law enforcement officers who reported earlier that Ibragim Todashev was unarmed when he was shot in the back of the head by an FBI agent were wrong. Ibragim had "a metal stick" which he attacked the heroic agent with for some reason after "confessing" to a killing but before he signed the confession statement. The incident wasn't recorded which is now standard operating procedure for the heroic FBI.
A metal stick.

"Ibragim Todashev, the Chechen acquaintance of one of the accused Boston bombers, was shot roughly a half-dozen times in several seconds by an FBI agent after he twice lunged at the officer with a metal stick, according to senior federal law enforcement officials…
… was allegedly providing a written confession…
… Todashev had not been arrested, but the officers had begun to discuss bringing him in because of the confession he had started to write."Washington Post

When this story first broke I wrote that it was so ridiculous that it reminded me of a South Park episode where Ned and Jimbo teach the South Park boys the way around the hunting laws is to claim whatever they kill was "comin right at us!" thus justifying the wholesale slaughter of anything with a pulse.

The story now is that he turned over the table and instead of a knife, he had "a metal stick".. part of a broom handle.
That's a strange and rather random thing to suggest, isn't it? A broom handle? Is that the only thing in the apartment they could say he had attacked them with? He lived there. Surely he had a knife somewhere in the apartment. Why a broom handle?
Here's a guess… all those wounds on his body with the exception of the one to the back of his head. Could they have been caused by, oh I don't know… a broom handle? Were they beating the confession out of him? Did they have to say it was that broom handle because it was found to have blood on it? His blood?
Either way, thanks to David for the heads-up. And special thanks to the Washington Post for showing us just how stupid successful American journalists are today.
