Army Recruiter Is Fatally Shot
NY Times ^ | 060109 | STEVE BARNES and JAMES DAO

Posted on 06/01/2009 6:54:05 PM PDT by Fred

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A 23-year-old man upset about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan opened fire from his truck at two soldiers standing outside a military recruiting station here on Monday morning, killing one private and wounding another, the police said.

The gunman, identified by the police as Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad of Little Rock, fled the scene and was arrested minutes later a short distance from the recruiting station, in a bustling suburban shopping center. The police confiscated a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic rifle, a .22-caliber rifle and a handgun from his black pickup truck.

The two privates, who were both from Arkansas, were in Little Rock as part of a recruiting program that typically uses soldiers recently out of basic training to promote the Army in their home regions, Army officials said.

When hate speech turns into murder. I blame this on MSNBC and Keith Olberman. The time has come to quarantine MSNBC News. Olbermann and MSNBC have incited this Muslim to murder and terrorism.

If there is a solution, it is perhaps an indirect boycott. It is probably your experience, as it has been mine, that stores, restaurants, waiting rooms, sometimes show MSNBC News on their televisions. Don’t write a letter, don’t make a threat. Just get up and explain. If they will not change the channel, leave the place and state calmly why it is you are taking your business elsewhere.

MSNBC will never restrain itself from incitement to murder and terrorism, not until it’s profits start to decline, it’s growth stops. So not so much a boycott here, a quarantine. Because this has got to stop.

“when will the US Marshals be sent in?”

When is the candlelight vigil?

When is Obama going to denounce it?

Black Muslim converts, doing what white radicals won’t do.

Where is Bill Ayers and his murder-suspect wife when our enemies need them? Giving lectures and sipping champagne.

Police and media trying to keep the lid on the perp’s background. Word is, he converted to Islam in prison (one person even stated this was in Somalia...). But police are trying to say this was isolated, and that he acted alone.

So far, charges filed include 1 count of capital murder, and 15 counts of terroristic threatening (for shooting into a building).

Seems to me, this fellow is exactly the kind that Gitmo was intended for. And I am all in favor of a little waterboarding to find out who recruited him and who his contacts are. AFter all - how does someone who has served time have access to firearms? Stolen? Bought? Lots of questions to be answered.

Prayers for the family of both of these men, and for the one who - so far - has survived the attack.

Islam - the religion of Peace®. Isn’t it comforting to know that this is the heart-faith of our President??? Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy I could puke.

If he’s locked up in prison with fellow Muslims, then it will merely encourage others who seek righteousness by their own hand in their own eyes, to commit similar heinous criminal acts.

IMHO, the death penalty is warranted to preserve freedom for the public from similar criminally minded Islamic extremists, regardless their country of origin.

“I blame this on MSNBC and Keith Olberman.”

I hope Rush makes this claim in dramatic fashion on his show and Drudge picks it up for a bold red headline. I would like to see anyone in the MSM back on their heels, even if only for a moment.

For Olberman, I guess that would be high heels.

I’ll bet the parents of these two young soldiers worried about them being killed by muzzies in Iraq or Afghanistan. Little Rock probably never crossed their minds. Hey America! How’s your “diversity” gig going so far! How ‘bout a little muzzie justice here! Hang the bass turd from a crane in the public square!

The Lone Wolf theory is about a single islamic terrorist who acts on his own (or her own) and conduct terrorist attacks. We should be very concerned about about the islamic Lone Wolf terrorists. This islamic terrorist who murdered the Army recruiter fits the Lone Wolf profile very well.

Obviously, the black muslims have been unleashed by their handlers. The media won’t tell you that but I just did. A few weeks ago they were trying to blow up synagogues in NYC, now they shot these guys. Also, I blame Olbermann for inciting hatred toward the military.

From the article

In a lengthy interview with the police, Mr. Muhammad said he was angry about the killing of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, Chief Thomas said. Previously known as Carlos Bledsoe, Mr. Muhammad told investigators that he had converted to Islam as a teenager, Chief Thomas said.

There is already a lot of concern within the military..especially the special forces community..that they or their families might be targeted by terrorists like this perp. Since most military families live off base or in open housing it is a concern.
This incident will be played down by the MSM, ups..the GCM..the Govt controlled media.
I pray for the families...they didn’t send their sons off to war to be shot down in friendly territory. Didn’t this guy commit a federal crime?

Hmmm ... wonder why the media didn’t play up the angle of the possibility that Miller’s murderer was upset about the killing of innocent babies at the abortion clinics ... ? And was acting alone rather than being part of the Pro-Life movement.

yes, NY Times, but I have been away from computer most of day and turned on FOX, MSNBC and CNN and guess I missed the TV reporting on this, did not see it on Drudge either, but a lot of coverage on Tiller and his killer. Not a lot different than other days, FR always has the news first and often exclusively.

That’s the new M.O.: The shoe bomber, the crazy guy at the LAX terminal, the gunman at the Seattle jewish center, the kid at OU stadium, etc. It will now be incremental attacks by single jihadists. Sort of like that movie Traitor.

Blame Code Pink. Blame Durbin for comparing our soldiers to nazis. Blame John Murtha for sliming our military. Blame the antiwar demonstrators when they parade with signs that read “We support our soldiers when they shoot their officers.”

If you are going to do the blame game everytime someone commits a murder then why doesn’t it work against the left who have a 24/7 propaganda machine greater than anyone’s.
