Another lone wolf Muslim attack on uniformed personnel -- this time in New York City
American Thinker ^ | 10/24/2014 | Thomas Lifson

Following the call of ISIS for Muslims to attack soldiers and police, yet again a weaponized Muslim has launched a vicious, unprovoked attack. Two attacks in Canada this week, and now one in New York City.  CNN describes the events:

A man charged at four New York police officers with a metal hatchet Thursday, hitting two of them at a time of high alert for authorities concerned they might be targeted in the United States and Canada.

The suspect was hiding behind a bus shelter as if he was waiting to attack the officers, according to a law enforcement official, who said it almost appeared as if he was stalking them. The officers were posing for a photo when the man pounced, police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.

He struck one officer in the right arm and another in the head, according to the commissioner. The two officers who weren't hit then shot at and killed the attacker.

The law enforcement official identified the suspect as Zale H. Thompson, who had a criminal record in California and had been discharged from the Navy for misconduct, according to the source.

The police officer who was struck in the head remains in critical but stable condition. The other officer, who is 24, was struck in the arm and was expected to be released soon.

A 29-year-old bystander who was struck by a bullet in the lower back was also taken to a hospital. Her condition was not known.

Officially, this is not being called a terror attack, but:

 On a Facebook page bearing Thompson's name, a warrior masked in a head and face scarf and armed with spear, sword and rifle gazes out at the beholder.

Not all Muslims are terrorists but all Muslims are potential terrorists.

PROVED AGAIN.

According to the tenets of Mohammedanism, that is a photo of a man bound for heaven, not a cowardly murderer. Any Mohammedan who dies in jihad, or waging ‘war’ against the unbelievers, goes straight to heaven.

Can you imagine seeing someone coming at you on the sidewalk with a hatchet? The barbarity and hate that it would take to do something like that are unimaginable. That’s why we call it, Terrorism .

Is there any word on how the officer is doing?

If you’ve ever been to NYC, it’s a lovely town.... with one exception — THERE ARE MANY CRAZIES ON THE STREETS WHO WILL CONFRONT YOU.

They’ll ask for money, wipe you windshield and demand to be paid, shut at the top of their voice in a crowded street, and even sleep on a subway train as if the seats were their beds.

You’ll never know who among these will be the next lone wolf.

He's NOT a lone wolf.

There aren't ‘card carrying’ jihadist because Islam doesn't hand out membership cards. He self-selected himself according the Koran to do his jihad.. that means he's NOT a lone wolf. He's part of a philosophical and religious group...acting on their behalf.

(From the linked story):

A chain of attacks and plots in rapid succession in the Western world by assailants with a radical interpretation of Islam have raised suspicion that Thompson's attack could be the latest link.

It's not a "radical interpretation" - it's a mainstream understanding of the cult.

It's obvious that what we need is common-sense hatchet control!

Jamaica is in New York City. New York City emcompasses all five boroughs. Queens is one of the five boroughs.

More workplace violence. Clearly it is caused by not enough gun control.
