Good.

now, lets not jump to conclusions...

Hillary seemed listless commenting on the NYC blast and other terrorist assumed instances. Not calm and measured...listless.

Once again, Obama was claiming caution before calling it a terrorist act. Seriously?? Sigh, only 49 more days left until we have this guy in the history books. Anyway, good on the police for getting this guy. I hope he gets his citizenship revoked and deported after he's released from custody (if that ever happens)

crazyjoe, I think ithe indications are there that hillary is physically not up to the rigors of the campaign trail ,or the presidency.

'Rahami lived with his family above their fried-chicken restaurant in Elizabeth,"

Hmmm, probably the work of some fried-chicken franchise fundamentalist gang. These guys are pretty passionate about chicken and poultry in general.

So the plot thickens...

Obama and Clinton and who knows what foreign powers are connected to all this?

It cannot be just the ISIS media blast. The US media (most of it), the administration, the educational system, the immigration system, the law enforcement system, the open borders, the entire misinformation, and who knows what other sectors had already given Islamists the needed "freedom" to move, grow and start executing their attacks here. (They are so well coordinated "against" our efficient and effective defense and counter measures.)

The thing is... all this is pointing to Martial Law. It also smells of stopping the US election process. The timing, the targets and the scale of attack are just not palatable.

Kazetsukai, are we off the meds AGAIN? We talked about this. If anything, this religious conservatives are just listening to their "GOD" as Christians have listened to their "GOD" during the inquisition. Same kind of terrorism. Actually, I am MORE surprised that you were NOT angry about the terrorism of the Bundy's and their little camp of fanatics, "freeing up the public land" for their friends. I think more FBI surveillance and monitoring of these lunatics and the KKK is needed. Problem solved. Not need for martial law.

There was also a stabbing spree in Minnesota by a person "making references to Allah" and a 5K charity run sponsored by the marines in New Jersey was interruped by the exploding of a pipebomb.

This isn't a movie. Come back to reality.

Im concerned about Mr Rahimi's rights...

Clearly the work of one disturbed individual and in no way related to any religious beliefs he might hold, his ethnicity or family background.

Nice headline, Deepti.

the rahimi family sued the city using the old "theyre against us cos we're muslim" scam that is so often used to play up to the PC disease.

clinton wants to let a million more potential terrorists in the usa.

Wow, only took a couple days, and captured alive too

The sight of this slob with his face in the pavement in handcuffs was such a relief.

Thanks to the FBI, police and all who helped identify and capture this fool.

Gotta love the sensationalist title just when rednecks are champing at the bit to limit immigration. If the man is a legal immigrant he is American, and it should simply say, "Man caught", not "immigrant caught" in this day and age.

smithinjapan, come on - the information re his immigrant history is entirely relevant. what we DONT need is more PC whitewashing of the facts.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

I hope he gets his citizenship revoked

Won't happen. Can't happen. He was a citizen since he was a baby. He got it around 1990. Obama was not president then.

I agree... please hang you tinfoil hats in the reception area of reality.

didnt he go back to that heaven on earth afghanistan several times - also known as his "home country"?

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

nishikat, you seem to think his trips to afghanistan have no relevance to his case. its that kind of aggressive PC blindness that makes trump a breath of fresh air for many.

nishikat, you seem to think his trips to afghanistan have no relevance to his case.

I know people who went there but they didn't become terrorists. Does visiting Afghanistan magically turn people into terrorists?

0 ( +3 / -3 )

What would have Trump done to avoid this bombing? He is American almost since birth. Also, is it illegal to visit Afghanistan? I don't get how Trump is going to make things safer. This guys was already a crazy loser to begin with. If he was living in Saudi Arabia I might understand. But he has(d) equal rights living in the USA.

Well, it looks like his wife flew the coop, she saw the writing on the wall, good. Now let's hope this guy NEVER sees the light of day or at least for about 100 years, which would be sufficient enough time spent.

I hope he gets his citizenship revoked

This is completely wrong. He will not lose his citizenship.

after he's released from custody

Wrong. He won't be released.

Obama was claiming caution

Correct. It's the right thing to do and shows he's a great president.

Yep. The last thing a president should be is a blowhard who jumps to conclusions.

Right wingers love America.

They just hate Americans.

It's a bit amazing that there are people out there actually outraged that officials waited until they knew the exact truth about the situation before proclaiming it. You'd think rational voters would like an administration that acts rationally oh I think I see my mistake.
