Radical Salafist terror attack in NY on Halloween

[RJB]

Could simply be a "guerilla" marketing campaign to advertise Home Depot's $19 truck rental.

I hope he paid for the insurance. I don't think Home Depot will just let him walk away from that.

Officials called it a terrorist attack, but Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said at a briefing, “There’s no evidence that suggests a wider plot or a wider scheme.” He said the episode was “the action of one individual who meant to cause pain and harm and probably death, and the resulting terror.” The New York police commissioner, James P. O’Neill, added, “This incident is over.”

And what's the point in quoting that part?

You've got to hand it to this guy.

Even if he paid the extra $8 for insurance, that comes to a measly $3.38 per life taken.

He is going to get a bonus from his bosses for coming in way under budget.

I guess the Al-CIAda is doing their part to bring the budget under control.

This looks like one of those scary "assault trucks". The compact version that can be wielded easily in a crowd. I think it's time for banning all assault trucks!!!

Why do not Uzbek Wahahabis just run over people over there ? Surely they can find someone to hate without traveling to Florida and NY ?

Blowback.

US via Saudi Arabia nurtured radical Salafism in the area to counter the Soviets. Then they turned on US. Uzbek jihadists align themselves with al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

And it had a bumper...

Again this story doesn't make sense. The guy kills people, walks around with fake guns (actually I'm surprised the goonsquad let him live), and his friend says this guy is a nice guy who plays with his kids and helps people. There's no "radicalization" or ties that seem to exist. There's no hatred expressed by him towards others. Of course as time goes by I'm sure the CIA can "fix" these problems. They can fabricate his ties and his posts that don't exist about how he wants to be part of ISIS...

Of course they need to kill him while in custody to make sure there's no loose ends they can't deal with...

A bumper stock, and one of those things that flip up.

"Iran is the largest exporter of terror"

NBC reports he left note claiming the purpose of his assault and murders were for ISIS.

But it's an exchange to have the freedom to be culturally enriched.

I know, I can feel the diversity.

Literally.

This guy was brought here on a "diversity visa" to culturally enrich us.

Well, I guess I can look forward to more restrictions on renting a car or truck.

You must spread some Reputation around before...

So true!

And in the VA governor's race, the socialists were running an attack ad showing a white guy in a diesel pickup and Confederate flag running down Latino, black and Muslim kids.

My daughter's family just moved away from that sewer town. My son in-law used to ride his bike on that path regularly.

Truck plates indicated it was rented in New Jersey though source is not traced yet- where or when. Suspect lived in Florida.

Zippy, why is it even relevant where he lived? Tampa is full of Muslims, just so you know. Dude killed 8 people. Why does it matter whether it was an isolated incident or not? It was a deliberate act of evil. It looks the same as other attacks that have happened other places. Gosh. Have some compassion on the dead and their families instead of trying to argue everything into the sewer. Do you not feel slimy the way you are pimped out to make money off of the horrible things that happen to people?

Maybe the breaks went out...

We'll know the truth when the President tweets us.

Thank you.

Just because he said "Allahu Akbar", people automatically jump to the conclusion he's some kind of Muslim extremist.

The solution to prevent these kinds of attacks is to only allow self-driving cars!

Fortunately, NYC just allowed them. What luck!

Oh, and LOL@perp's name. A lil Reformation 500th anniversary humor.

Give it 10 years and for average people that is all that will be allowed in the city, unless you are a business that has enough money to pay for a special medallion.
