Great group of people, the Islamic state group. Very peaceful people.

There is something very very suc about this, I have never heard any law enforcement spokesperson describe a perpetrator as 100%, weather it is a criminal or a rapist or a murderer. Like he is 100% a murderer or He is 100% a victim or he 100% a rapist. Like they are falling over themselves wanting to convince the public that it was terrorism. More like this bloke was first notice by the Army with mental heath problem and discharged without due process. Trying the shift the narrative as to remove responsibility for the Government of the USA. Very Very suc.

According to an Army spokesperson, Jabbar served in the U.S. Army from March 2007 to January 2015 as a Human Resource Specialist and Information Technology Specialist. He deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010 and held the rank of Staff Sergeant upon leaving the service. He continued as an IT Specialist in the Army Reserve until July 2020.
Jabbar’s service was recognized with numerous awards, including the Army Commendation Medal (three times) and Army Achievement Medal (four times). Other distinctions included the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with a campaign star, NATO Medal, and Meritorious Unit Commendation (two times). He also earned badges like the Parachutist Badge and Driver and Mechanic Badge.
In a now-removed 2020 YouTube video, Jabbar described his upbringing in Beaumont, Texas, and his decade in the military, emphasizing roles in IT and human resources. Post-service, he transitioned to a career as a Houston-based realtor and shared that the city was where he had spent most of his adult life.

Court records show Jabbar faced a deteriorating financial situation in 2022 while separating from his then-wife. Jabbar said he was behind on house payments and had accumulated credit card debt and wanted to quickly finalize the divorce.
At the time, court documents show he made about $10,000 a month doing business development and other work for the consulting firm Deloitte. In a statement, Deloitte said Jabbar had “served in a staff-level role” since being hired in 2021 and that the company was doing all it could to assist authorities.

Being 'inspired' by ISIS is the conjoined twin of being 'inspired' by JSIP.
Neither violent racist terrorist group represents the religions they proclaim themselves to be the 'true representation and champion of', and the same sort of people PRETEND they do.
Unfortunately, only one of these groups is actively shunned by the governments of North America, Europe, and Japan.

Need Islamic scholars to, again, discredit the fake Islam of groups like IS .
Have to take the fight to the internet and to the preachers of hate and "one way "only.
If you can be radicalized online, you can be dissuaded online .
Encourage moderate Islam, intellectually, and otherwise, destroy the haters.

Nothing fake about it.
No one is hating, it is what it is.
No indications that it happened.
The haters are the individuals that perpetuate such a heinous crime.

In the hands of terrorists, guns are just as deadly as trucks.
From wiki:
On November 5, 2009, a mass shooting took place at Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos), near Killeen, Texas. Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others. It was the deadliest mass shooting on an American military base and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since the September 11 attacks...
Hasan is currently on death row at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.

A lot of hay is being made about this guy being a U.S. citizen -- as if that somehow minimizes the evil that he committed.
In my book, at least, he was a U.S. citizen in name & on paper only.
He effectively renounced his U.S. citizenship because of the act he chose to commit against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil -- and because of the flag that he chose to fly while he was doing it.
Let's call him an "undocumented citizenship-renouncer."
After all, if (according to "progressive" rules) we have to call people "undocumented migrants" or "undocumented workers" when referring to people in our country illegally --
-- then it's only fair & logical to work that "logic" the other way.
This monster renounced his U.S. citizenship by his actions, even if such renunciation wasn't, ahem, "documented."
Quo Primum
By that logic, then, if we're going to keep talking about banning guns, we should also talk about banning trucks.
After all, it's being explicitly admitted here that the one is, and I directly quote, "just as deadly" as the other.

“This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act,” said Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, calling Jabbar “100% inspired” by the Islamic State.""
Evil Act to say the least, killing 14 innocent people is much worse than an evil act.

“This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act,”
Exactly, but we don't need to be told. We can now see evil done on even vaster scale every single day of our lives and it's truly shameful and sickening.

Guru Mick: When one live in a society that has lost all sense of reality, heading south and are in full denial mode, Yes the majority of the USA citizen are in denial. This denial is pump into them 24/ 7 by Fox and Disney the educators of the people. Can you show one of these fox/disney educated comment that isn,t in denial and you win the kewpie doll.

"" The FBI also revealed that the driver, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas, posted five videos on his Facebook account in the hours before the attack in which he proclaimed his support for the militant group and previewed the violence that he would soon unleash in the city's famed French Quarter district. ""
IF !!!? that is true then why didn't Facebook flag this to the authorities,
People can't post any violent content these days, it is all monitored and filtered, certain hash tags, words, phrases, language any thing that is offensive is automatically flagged and evaluated by Facebook so how could this happen without it being flagged???
WoodyLee
This person and would not say Man because he is not, is no different than the rest of the 3 Fugitives that are mass killing innocent humans daily while the world is watching and doing NOTHING to stop it.

Call him what you want. It’s not written in America’s criminal code.
American-born citizens cannot be deported or made stateless because of their beliefs or conduct.
Period.
bass4funk
I think that should be rectified in some form

Indeed - we can start with those miscreants that have been convicted of 34 felonies...

What would be the point of canceling the terrorist's citizenship, he's dead.

Out of a disgruntled lib state run by crazies who failed at every turn. Wonder how long George will keep his job at ABC…..

This doesn't bode well for the pro-immigration proponents. Trump's going to have another notch in his arsenal.
