The event was spurred in part as a reaction to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) "Stand with the Prophet" conference in January in which radical Islamic leaders from around the United States attacked those who have "defamed the Prophet" as responsible for the rise of Islamic extremist groups and the "world wide hatred of Muslims."
The CAIR-sponsored event in Garland took place in January of this year just after the Islamic terrorist massacre of the cartoonists working at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris. Geller's event also sought to commemorate the victims of the Paris attack.
According to the IPT source, social media postings about the event began appearing en masse about three days prior. They featured vicious exhortations to kill those responsible and urged beheadings and mass killings. Simpson, who court records show had a long affinity with jihadist causes, apparently saw some of those calls to violence and headed to Texas.
It is not yet known what prompted the late-hour focus on the Garland meeting within foreign jihadi circles, but investigators are confident Simpson and Soofi were trying to respond to those specific calls for jihad.
At this point, authorities do not believe the attack was well planned or that Simpson and Soofi ever conducted reconnaissance on the Culwell Center before coming out, guns blazing.
If they had, they might have discovered that organizers, well aware of the inherent threat of violence an event like theirs carries, paid $10,000 to secure the venue with off-duty police officers. That was in addition to the security provided by members of Garland's SWAT team, along with FBI and ATF agents.

More like CYA without interfering.
- Soofi’s father is Pakistani, and his mother is American
- In the 1990s, Soofi attended a prestigious private school in Islamabad.
- Soofi was born in Garland and spent the first three years of his life there, his mother said
- “He was raised in a normal American fashion,” Sharon Soofi said. “Yes, he was very politically involved with the Middle East. Just aware of what's going on. I don't know if something snapped or if Elton Simpson was just working on him.”
- He left behind an 8-year-old son
- After his parents divorced, Soofi and his brother moved to the United States in 1998 to live with their mother and gradually lost touch with many of their friends in Pakistan
- Nadir Soofi and Simpson attended the mosque where two other previous ICCP mosque attendees, Hassan Abu-Jihaad and Derrick Shareef, are currently in federal prison on terrorism-related charges. Source: Passing Secrets at Sea http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2008/march/secrets031008
I wonder what was the distance of the kill shots?
Shell casings indicate he was walking towards the perps while firing, from about 40 feet down to about 20.
He is a brave man.
So the FBI issued an all clear no worries bulletin on Friday, but a Texas intelligence unit, said there were numerous threats posted in social media and disregarded the FBI Friday bulletin. Wonder what that Texas intelligence unit was ? They seem to be doing the job the Feddies used to do before the Feds became corrupted.
Nope .... YOU gott'a get involved or forever tsk tsk the girl or guy at the Home depot cash register because they are part of the rape of America
tsk tsk indeed !
Seems he decided right down to his toes that either they were going down or he was.
Yes indeed, the very definition of bravery.
Almost a whole week goes by, and we don;t ever hear the name of the hero traffic cop that dispatched the two jihadis.
The man is a hero.
He singlehandedly and at great personal risk, confronted and killed two armed terrorists and saved untold other lives in the process.
A mass murder by jihad was prevented.
Tkaen before the car's trunk blasted open.
Looks like it may have hit the curb and turned over. Speculation of course. Will the real truth be found?
If they want war. Let them know it started here in Texas!
:)
So there is a database (Facebook) loaded with the names of ISIS supporters in the USA.
That means that as soon as the muslim faggot is out of the WH and the DOJ/FBI is no longer run by the CPUSA, the round up can begin.
January 20, 2017 is D-Day.

It prolly won’t happen due to safety concerns for him and his loved ones, but it would be interesting in learning a bit more about him; what makes him tick.
No. If you look at the images, you’ll definitely see a SU2000. From the high res shot, I thought the 2nd rifle was a GSG AK22 based on the magazine.
The body armor looked to be EOD fragmentation type armor. That won’t stop a .45ACP.
The cop did the world and the gene pool a favor.
