Garland - shock moment in Texas!
In a controversial competition with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed shots were fired near Dallas. An official in special operations outfit said the visitors towards the end of the event on Sunday evening (local time) at the Curtis Culwell Center in the city of Garland, the shots were fired in front of the building.
The venue was cordoned off immediately.
As US media reports, two suspects were shot. They had tried the event had to approach with a bomb. In the shootout, therefore also a security guard was injured.
Planten the perpetrators may have a stop like in Paris?
To date, there have been to no details or confirmation: It was not immediately clear whether the shots had something to do with the event. The police spokesman Joe Harn did not want to confirm the information provided by the officers first.
The New York-based American Freedom Defense Initiative hosted the disputed competition. The Dutch right-wing populist Geert Wilders had attended the event, should make a speech there. The winner with the best Mohammed cartoon should be awarded $ 10,000.
Two Islamists stormed on January 7, the editorial offices of the satirical newspaper "Charlie Hebdo" in Paris, which had always taken care of with Mohammed caricatures stir. They shot there and in their flight twelve people. A sympathizer of the two killed four other people in the following days a police officer and a hostage situation in a Jewish supermarket in Paris. The three Islamists were finally shot in police operations.
Many comments on this site:
“To prevent a Charlie Hebdo event, there was a lot of security there. Hence the two dead Muslim attackers and one injured police officer.”
Way to go Texas! Proud of my state for having in place the requisite police presence to defend freedom of speech and association. I might even be so bold as to recommend more events of this type, just to smoke out those muzzies who are radical enough to perpetrate attacks of this nature. These people cannot be reasoned with, and have no appreciation for our founding freedoms.
All event cartoons are posted here. Some pretty funny:

What time do the greens open in DC in the morning?
I thought the Manson Mohamed (may piss be upon him) was pretty funny.
That is the best mohamed artwork I’ve seen.
Events like this can help draw out Islamic terrorists in the community so they can, like today, be eliminated. Two less for the community to worry about.
Automated language translation usually sounds strange.
This was supposed to be the muzzies’ Charlie Hebdo moment in North America. They failed. Their attempt will get the attention of large numbers of us “infidels”!
Just watch & see tomorrow how this gets spun by the WH, MSNBC, and CAIR. Clean your weapons while you’re watching.
The First Amendment is absolute, just like the Second!
Deus vult!
I see a number of images are already being blocked by Photobucket for violating their terms of use.
Talking to someone there now.
The entire area is blocked off.
That section of N Garland Rd in front of Acadamy, Walmart and Hawaiian Falls Water Park is blocked from George Bush to the main part of Garland rd.
They even have the service road of that part of George Bush closed off.
Map should be here, its pretty much everything you see on the map.

Interesting pics at the link.
Thanks for the update! If you get more news, can you post it here?
The irony is that Muslims used to depict Mohammed in artwork akin to story telling glass windows in churches.

According to the person I am speaking with they have a BUNCH of stores, restaurants etc completely shut down, the exit to Garland rd from George Bush frwy is blocked off by some big truck (they did not specify) and the GPD is everywhere.
It is everything on that map south of GBF (in orange) all the way down to Webb Middle School.
Garland PD don’t play.

I like the “flasher” at the top of page 5
Good shooting Tex.

Yes it was gutsy and yes entirely allowed under free speech.
However, it was deliberately provoking and not a very Christian thing to do. I don’t think we reached any muslims for Christ tonight. No the terrorists cannot be won over and I don’t shed a tear for them. However I work with some Muslims, at least one of which is honestly seeking to understand the difference between Christianity and islam. Events like this do not help show how Christians are different.
I suppose I will be royally flamed for this comment, but the only thing I feel is sadness. No one won tonight other than there are 2 less terrorists for us to worry about.
