According to a CNN news report, the FBI sent a bulletin to Garland police three hours before a terrorist attack on Pamela Geller's "draw Muhammad" cartoon event.
The FBI's warning included a picture of Elton Simpson, one of the suspects who was killed, as well as his license plate number. Police were told that Simpson had expressed interest in the event and that his social media posts were linked to ISIS.
According to CNN's Evan Perez, the FBI stated that it had no indication that Simpson was planning an attack or that he was on his way to the event. CNN posted the news to Facebook:
As TruthRevolt previously reported, Simpson was under FBI surveillance since 2006 for his connection with radical Islamist, Hassan Abu-Jihaad. Simpson was later arrested in 2010 for lying to authorities while under investigation, but was only sentenced to probation and a fine.
Simpson's past social media presence made clear his feelings on radical Islam: "Allah loves someone who is out there fighting… If you get shot, or you get killed, it's [heaven] straight away… That's what we here for… so why not take that route?"
Geller, who is a specific target of ISIS for execution, has yet to be protected by the FBI or Homeland Security, despite her requests for help.

HEADS MUST ROLL!!!
SO TO SPEAK...mind you!
astonishing!!
hmmm.... ping
They probably sent it to/from a personal e-mail account or one where the hard drives have since failed, so they will never be able to prove it. Not that the media will ask them to do so.
Maybe the lazy feds could have made a phone call?
She requests for protection from Homeland Security or the FBI and gets nothing. Why? Because our government loves muslims. Both parties.
She needs some SEALS to protect her.
Something hinky about this, I just can’t put my finger on it yet.
I’m going to have to read the embedded links and see.
Well, I may need to stand corrected here.
If this guy did in fact have contact with ISIS, it’s pretty hard to claim he wasn’t a part of ISIS, as I suggested a day or two ago.
It was my take that he was a wing nut. If he wasn’t acting alone, it’s important to know.
Now, is this a CYA move by the FBI, or did it actually take place?
So why then did that unarmed security guard get shot?
Not just that. I suspect that this was done to send a message to her and those of us that support her. They wouldn't have shed a tear had she been murdered.

Perhaps a new arena of operations for Minutemen-type organizations...
Thanks, I posted another article about this and at the time it was not known if they had warned Garland police. Looks like they at least sent out a BOLO.
They would have called it a ‘tragedy’, and said that both sides are at fault.
I read somewhere that he had contact the previous week with some known terrorist in some other country, and that terrorist was making recruits over here aware of the event.
The jihadis are coming. Please be sure to give them a warm welcome!
Interesting...
Maybe the FBI will quit allowing all the communications mentioning violence to slip through.
One of their own admitted to it a day or two ago.
Is the administration in Garland democrat? That would explain a lot.
Especially if they are naming a certain event.
