MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Abdifatah Ahmed struggled for years to make ends meet.

After losing his $15-an-hour job fueling airliners in Minneapolis, the Somali-American father of nine survived on low-wage jobs and public assistance. He complained about working hard, but never having enough money. His circumstances worsened when he was ordered to pay more than $700 a month to support three of his children — including one less than a year old.

Months later, he surfaced in Syria, where he went to fight for the Islamic State.

Folks, it is mandatory that we begin profiling. Feel-good diversity anything goes is going to get a lot of people killed. Isis will probably send him right back to refueling planes (for a while) in Minneapolis.

Man! Are we stupid!

Living the American dream.

9 kids with no real means of support.

Ran away, rather than putting it back in his pants.

Hopefully, he meets his child molesting maker and never darkens our door again.

You know why a guy fathers 9 kids without the means to support them or the desire to raise them?

Because he can.

Fathered nine children with no means to support them all.

There is no reason why any Somali should be in the USA.

Internment camps must be set up to contain domestic enemies.

Even that communist son of a bitch FDR realized that fact.

Why did he lose his job? I think he was a perennial loser.

This savage was already mentally ill. The kids are much better off without this murderous thug.
