We're calling him a disgruntled Uber driver.

In case anyone forgot that idiot Harff and how the Obama administration dug us deeper into this mess - listen to her own words at link below. It is amazing that this person was actually a State spokesperson.

State Department Spokeswoman thinks “Terrorists just need jobs!”

He and his family were properly vetted by the State Department. Nothing (and I literally mean nothing) was found in their past to prevent them from coming here. They were model citizens in their small fishing village. His mother must just be devastated right now. He was just such a sweet boy. So happy to live here and go to school.

If it was him, he was profiled in OSU's student newspaper, The Lantern:

Sudden Jihadi syndrome. There is nothing that can predict it. No known precursor symptoms.

I now see more fleecing of America. New opportunities to install Jersey barriers and concrete blocks around all buildings and along roadways in any area designated as an emergency assembly point.

All "safe spaces" will now be controlled access points manned by heavily armed security forces, magnetometers, anti-vehicle strips and 24-hour CCTV. (Wait all of that might be a good idea )

Robocall alert systems and notification will have to be updated too:

Press 1 for "Active Shooter"
Press 2 for "Active Acts of Terrorism"
Press 3 for "Pandemic Virus Alerts"
Press...... 9 for "Nuclear Attack"

I'll waive my usual advice fee and offer up "Somali" and "Muslim" as a profile clue.

Okay, this just pisses me off. (Copied from another place)

The university gave a press conference and also gave the police officers name, (omitted by me). A simple Google search and I was able to learn he is engaged to an OSU grad, her name and the date/time/location of the wedding & reception. If this is international terrorism it seems pretty stupid to out him.

Can our 'leaders' be any less intelligent?

Hmm...It seems somewhere around here there is an inoculation for that, ahha there it is.

Some information coming out on Dirtbag. Complete article at link.

Ohio state knifeman ranted about how he was 'sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers being killed and tortured' on social media hours before wounding 11

Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan posted on Facebook that he was 'sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers being killed and tortured' shortly before he went on a slashing rampage at the Ohio State University that left 11 injured.
Authorities are currently investigating the posts, allegedly made by Artan, which mention radical cleric Anwar Awlaki and accuse America of 'interfering' with other nations.

'I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE,' it stated. 'I can't take it anymore.

'America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah (communities)... [if] you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks.'
'We are not weak, remember that,' the post said, according to NBC News.

I really think it's time we had an adult discussion about knife control in this country. Really, only chefs and other trained culinary professionals should have large kitchen knives. If we take the simple step of having the government pre-cut everyone's food before sale, and restrict knife access, this tragedy could have been avoided.

Please join me in writing our representatives and demanding this common sense step, for the safety of all of us and our children. Thank you. #stopthestab

^^^^(Re: Tonyz) Zuckerberg and his "fake news" team of security experts must be so overwhelmed with such violence and hatred being posted on FB that they missed this one. Also FB is just one 'I' short of another agency that should be watching for these kinds of warnings.

And don't forget that there is no need for those knives to exceed 1 1/2" in length, handles that exceed 3 inches, have pointed ends... nor should they be full-tang or have vertical hand guards for knives of that description are for exclusive military use.
