After Manchester, growing concerns in Minneapolis
Powerline ^ | May 26,2017 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 05/26/2017 8:31:46 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The massacre in Manchester this week seems to have prompted attention to the arrest of brothers Abdullah and Majid Alrifahe in north Minneapolis on May 11. Inside the parked car they were sitting in was a stash of guns, ammo, drone parts and an inert hand grenade.

The arrest report provides an inventory of the stash officers found in “a cursory search” of the vehicle: “a loaded AK 47-type assault rifle, another rifle, several assault rifle magazines and large quantities of different ammunition (including shotgun shells), discharged shell casings and BB ammunition. Also found were several cell phones, computers and electronics equipment including drone parts.” And then we have this: “Bomb Squad personnel called to the scene noted that the variety of the ammunition and large quantity of BBs and electronic devices could be used for bomb-making.”

The Star Tribune published a brief article the following week. The Star Tribune story appears to be drawn directly from the arrest report. It has not returned to the story since the linked May 15 article.

As the driver of the car in which the stash was found, Abdullah Alrifahe has been charged with one felony count of possession of a pistol without a permit. He is in detention on $200,000 bond, which is suggestive of the seriousness with which authorities view the case.

Yesterday, nearly two weeks after the arrests, CBSMinnesota’s Esme Murphy reported on the case (text here, video below). The sole felony charge against Abdullah and the misdemeanor charges against Majid belie the seriousness of the case reflected in the amount at which bail is set on Abdullah Alrifahe. The text of the story tactfully states that the case has raised “growing concerns.” Authorities have obviously had concerns since they found the brothers’ stash.

Yeah, they’ll have “growing concerns” right up to the future memorial services.

For now they’ll sit on their hands so nobody gets their feelings hurt.

This story isn’t getting much play. I wonder why?

In every recent terrorist attack of which I’m aware, the perps had previous contact with law enforcement and/or had been reported as dangerous by family or coworkers.

But hey, no big deal. These guys hadn’t hurt anyone ...

Having elected a goof ball mayor such as they have, they can all blow themselves to smithereens for all I care.

I wonder what their motive is. I don’t see any clue on what could be causing this. Again.

We have to wait until they actually harm or kill Americans before we know if they are moderate muslims or not..../s

The west needs to accept and establish that islam declared war on non-believers. We need to reciprocate. We need Crusades 2.0.

Well, sure. There’s no reason to assume they intend to harm anyone.

Plus an idiot Senator. They were elected by idiots. Whatever happens to them has been at their actions. Won't shed a tear over any of them.

There are over 2,000 Somali’s working at the airport.
Like baggage handlers. In and out of the aircraft between flights.
Makes you feel safe.

Maybe they were just getting ready for hunting season. Let’s not jump to any conclusions here.

You are absolutely correct! Most investigations have been ordered "stand down" at the FBI level which is no surprise. There are countless people who have a death warrant by terrorist and they will never know it. My blood boils over the attacks that could have been prevented. Deep State runs very deep indeed, and infects our whole society. I hardly recognize what our country is built upon anymore in regards to truth and justice.

Oh crap! My car has all that stuff in it! Well, no “inert hand grenade” but it does have what the spokesman for the Police State would call “military equipment”.

Get ready for more hot blood.

100% of all Muslims are instructed by their Koran to kill, behead, rape, enslave infidels wherever the peaceful Muslims find them.

Not all Muslims will kill you but almost all will support the terrorists who will kill you and your family. For Mohamed to return, the world must be 100% grade A Islam. The message is clear, if there are Muslims, then convert or die.

Many Americans will NOT believe this simple message until they are at the morgue identifying their children after they are brutally murdered.

To STOP the slaughter of innocent Americans, all practicing Muslims must either be imprisoned as supporters of a terrorist cult or removed to the he$$hole they came from.
