Oh, the horrors!!!! Instead of sunsets on the beach, he'll be viewing the beached whale he has for a cellmate.
"This is a local issue with a contract employee," Aurora Police Chief Greg Thomas said. "There is no terrorist act."
9/11 was an “isolated incident”.
This can be compared with the 13 felony counts Aaron Swartz faced for downloading scientific papers paid for by US taxpayers, with the intent to distribute them for free. No lives put in jeopardy, neither in aircraft nor from a fire on the ground, no physical damage to anything, no lives seriously inconvenienced by flight disruptions and no personal gain. Sure, Lady Justice is blind.
“Howard was in the process of actively slicing his throat with another knife,” the federal affidavit says. The injured man, who had other self-inflicted wounds on his arms, reportedly told the first-responders to “leave me alone.”
Authorities say a message appeared on a Facebook page with Howard’s name around the time of a fire.
“Take a hard look in the mirror, I have. And this is why I am about to take out ZAU (the control center) and my life,” the Facebook message said, according to an FBI special agent’s comments in an affidavit. “April, Pop, luv you guys and I am sorry. Leaving you with a big mess. Do your best to move on quickly from me please. Feel like I give a [expletive] for the first time in a long time again … but not for too long (haha!) So I’m gonna smoke this blunt and move on, take care everyone.”
Still not much word about either his sympathies or motives.
Is it certain that no shout of “Allahu Akbar!” was heard at the time?
Because we know who would have been well served by such an incident.
He did extensive damage to the computer, the FAA is rushing to replace vacuum tubes as we speak.
I think everyone is missing the point due to the Muslim awareness.
I would like to know exactly ‘why’ he sabotaged the RADAR system.
Does he know something we don’t ?
Or did somebody put something ‘funny’ in his ‘blunt’ ?
Why are there no photos of this guy???
Brian Howard’s Facebook page appears to have been scrubbed.
Jah’Keem Yisrael’s Facebook page remains.
Interesting.

What’s a blunt?
After this warning

We get this official response..
Look into this clown’s background ! A contract player doing maintainence on a remote key air control for the center of the US computer radar relay installation. With no redundant(backup) protection and apparently minimal security.
Attempts suicide while knowingly destroying a centralized air control computer system. While I won’t fault the local cops for that statement because they wouldn’t be in a position to do background checks. I wonder if we’ll ever get the honest answer from a dishonest regime or if the media (burn them all down s/)will cover this up as well.
Unknown to the authorities, his supervisor had taken his red, 727 Swingline stapler.
Interesting timing.
The season opener of the show Scorpion on Monday of this week involved a bug being hacked into the so-called flight control computers at LAX, preventing 56 airplanes from landing.
Why that would actually be the case on a VFR day is beyond me, but it’s Hollywood.
But still....did Howard watch this show?
Did life then imitate art?
Maybe he’s just crying out for help???
The saddest thing is the FAA is ancient that they only have one high radar system for the entire midwest. lets dissolve the FAA and let private companies run our Air traffic redundantly. Hell I can watch all the flight in the world on the internet. Why cant they have more than one radar station.
He was angry he was being transferred to Hawaii.
