35W Bridge Collapse Survivor Faces Terror Charges

A survivor of the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse that killed 13 people and injured 145 is now facing terror charges after authorities say he went to Syria to join the Islamic State group.

Mohamed Amiin Ali Roble was charged Wednesday by criminal complaint with providing and conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Roble, now 20, was nearly 11 when the school bus he was riding plummeted about 30 feet as the bridge collapsed.

He was injured and was eligible for more than $91,000 in settlement funds on his 18th birthday. That was just weeks before federal prosecutors say he left the country.

So the 'survived the bridge collapse' part is to gin up sympathy for the moslem vermin he's decided to become ?

Didn't work with me, but I guess that's a small sample size.

LOL! Only in MN...

I worked late that day and missed it by 2 hours.

NOW terrorists were there?

Bad enough watching #20 9/11 terrorist in orange and shackles escorted away at MSP.

We are in more "crouched and waiting" peril than what is being conveyed these days IMO.

I’d like to trade him for the gal that I worked with and her young child that weren’t so lucky.

Haven't been home to the North Forty for a while but heard there were issues at the Trump get together too.

I hope I am not too shocked when I go back to the homestead.

Bad timing for me. Missed the rally due to being in Canada fishing.

Had I been there for the rally, I’d probably still be in jail.

I said the same thing to a coworker the other day after seeing it on the news. I got a "concerned" look from him...

Times sure are morphing from what I was used to a few years back.

Here it hit 97 degree's for a high! Only double digit~

Woo Hoo, winter is on it's way! : D

I miss the snow.....

Thanks to FR, I was able to break the 35W bridge collapse on the internet.

It IS nice country!

Winter is coming here, it slipped below 90 and the sun was still up! : D
