Terrorist suspect in New York and New Jersey bombings captured — 24 Comments

  1. Immigration is the issue for me. No borders…no country. None of the wisdom that is the foundation and reason for this country’s founding is being observed by this rogue government. They pick and choose the laws that will be observed, usually to the advantage (penalties paid by actual citizens) of the government…city, state and federal. Tipping point from where I sit.

  2. What is surprising – for people who are so “highly dedicated” to a cause – is how incompetent they have been.

    Even the targets, other than the marathon one, that missed by luck of a delay, don’t seem particularly “mission prioritized”.

    Thank Goodness for that, but makes one wonder.

  3. @liz – from that article…

    “such discrepancies weren’t caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.

    DHS said in an emailed statement that an initial review of these cases suggest that some of the individuals may have ultimately qualified for citizenship, and that the lack of digital fingerprint records does not necessarily mean they committed fraud.”

    That said, clearly, there is a problem with the immigration process, and the overall strategy / priorities.

    Very must support changes to it.

  4. Family connections are very important to terrorists. Just ask Huma Abedin and her Muslim Brotherhood relatives.

  5. Personal conspiracy theory time: I think the bombs this weekend were deliberately small scale, planted by the “B team” whose bosses/allies/mentors planned for them to get caught. This weekend was a feint, testing reactions,responses, countermeasures, and exposing law-enforcement and counter-terrorism methods and methodologies.

    The bigger attack is going to come on Election Day – simultaneous attacks, some small bombs, some larger ones, at and near polling places across the country. The intention is to create enough chaos around the election so that whomever wins, their legitimacy is thrown into doubt by both the opposition and many independents.

    The ultimate culprit is Putin, running and manipulating Islamic terror cells to his own ends. Once a terrorist has a loose allegiance to ISIS, chances are, no one is going to look much farther, and ISIS’s international messaging and command and control are diffuse enough to easily be spoofed by Russian intelligence.

    A weakly elected President Trump or Clinton will have absolutely minimum ability to stand up to Putin’s games in Eastern Europe. The opposing party in Congress will almost certainly be doing everything they can to bring down the President before they can appoint a single Supreme Court Justice, and that’s where the media’s attention will be as well. Putin will be able to move troops or cause coups wherever he wants anywhere East of Germany and South of Finland.

  6. “As often happens, there’s a lot more detail in this British report”
    .
    Apparently America’s dominant media has a joint Ministry of Truth which does not authorize reports that vary from an agreed orthodoxy. See Career, Sharyl Attkisson, CBS News.

    h/t WJ Clinton on spouse’s frequency of dehydration episodes.

  7. Wow, another terror incident not linked to Tea Parties or Rightwingnuts. But, of course, I guess I am jumping to conclusions before officials tell me what to think.

  8. Here’s a funny only-in-New-York story about the bombing:

    link to full article:
    http://tinyurl.com/zyrodh7

    “[T]wo thieves accidentally helped to disable his second pressure cooker bomb left inside a rolling suitcase on West 27th Street …

    The young men, who sources described as being well-dressed, opened the bag and took the bomb out, sources said, before placing the explosive into a garbage bag and walking away with the rolling suitcase.

    ‘Once they picked up the bag, they seemed incredulous. They had actually picked this up off the street and they walked off with it,’ according to Robert Boyce, the NYPD’s Chief of Detectives.

    ‘They look like they were two gentlemen just strolling up and down Seventh Avenue at the time,’ Boyce added.

    Investigators believe they inadvertently disabled the explosive, sources said.

    ‘It’s difficult to say right now if they at all, inadvertently perhaps even, pulled a wire,’ Boyce said.

    Since the bomb remained intact, it allowed investigators to examine the cellphone attached to the bomb intact and discover that it was connected to the family of Rahami.”

    P.S. I still can’t see comments until they’re a day old. If someone’s already noted this story, then my apologies for the repetition.

  9. Check out the Yelp “reviews” for First American Chicken in Elizabeth, NJ.

    Not nice! But some are funny.

  10. The St Cloud stabbings are very disturbing; terrorize small towns in the heartland to send the message that everyone everywhere is a potential target. Sooner or later this type of attack will come to an elementary school in rural area.

    As the Islamists wise up they will hit smaller cities like Omaha as the CCTV network isn’t built out here like it is in NYC. The NJ terrorist was caught quickly because they had a video of him at the scene.

  12. Big Maq,

    Yes, their incompetence is astounding. No escape plan, evidenced by sleeping in a bar’s doorway? Stupid is as stupid does…

    parker,

    Yes, an attack on an elementary school is a predictable certainty.

  13. Cornhead,

    From my perspective Omaha is not a small city, heck Des Moines looks large to me.

    GB,

    After the St Cloud attack, I decided to carry my Government Model Colt Series 80 380 ACP everywhere. I carry it cocked and locked loaded with Corbon P+ hollow points and a second mag in my left pocket. Mrs parker now carries her 38 SPL S&W snub nose.

    Arm yourselves, the battle is at your front porch.

  14. parker,

    I have a concealed carry permit but until now I have rarely felt the need to carry my 9 mm Glock. After St. Cloud I’ve decided that any of us who can legally do so have a moral responsibility to carry our weapon at all times.

  15. There are minor details with “predictable certainties,” i.e., when, where, and by whom, (recent immigrant, second generation from Islamic immigrant, domestic non-Islamic with a.b, normal thought processes, …..) that make such predictions less than useful. Especially so if local and state attitudes and regulations prevent reasonable precautions. Am I profound, eh? Not so much.

  16. Our witless media can’t comprehend that all of their musings merely step up the game for those who must follow.

    There should be NO reportage about HOW the jihadi screwed up.

    EVER.

  17. OM,

    Bed time means a 12 guage loaded with 8 buckshot within easy reach. The dogs are the early warning system. Mrs parker and her snubby 38 is backup.

    Chris,

    Your situation is similar to mine. St Cloud nudged me to carry everywhere, before I only carried in what I considered potential threat environments. It has become a civic duty.

  18. “Our witless media can’t comprehend that all of their musings merely step up the game for those who must follow.

    There should be NO reportage about HOW the jihadi screwed up.

    EVER.” – blert

    The won’t stop, for much the same reason they gave trump $Billions in free coverage in the GOP candidacy race.

  19. Islam has never been “gotten rid of” so of course Islamic terrorism has never also been gotten rid of. The West suppressed the Ottomans, the last Islamic Sunni Caliphate, but that was temporary.
