truth tends cause anger because if this is true and we have millions of jihad nutcases in this country then we are in for a very long hard fight from not only the enemy without but the one within. I hope we has a nation have enough leadership to see us thru. sadly the present leadership both REP and DEM are failing the people.
The truth should be proclaimed from the highest officeholder down and let's start dealing with it. It's been FIVE years since 9/11 and our leaders still do not understand the war that has been going on for 1400 years since Shithead rode out of the Mecca.

ABC Radio News at 11am reports Ohmeed Aziz Popal was "stressed out" from an arranged marriage in Afghanistan. They almost made it seem like they understood his pain the way they said it.
Doesn't make sense to me.

The first reports I read identified him as Omeed A. Popal.
The driver's name was not immediately released, but state motor vehicle records show the license plate on the SUV registered to Omeed A. Popal of Fremont.
And of course, nobody had a clue why he did this.
"These are the things, these are so senseless," Mayor Gavin Newsom said after meeting with victims and their families. "They're utterly inexplicable. They're impossible to rationalize."
Okay, so his cousin, Zargona Ramish had a clue.
"He thought the devil was coming to him," said Zargona Ramish, who went to the family's home Tuesday afternoon while Popal's relatives were speaking with police. "He is a very good person. He is not like that. What's wrong with him?"

It comes from the belief that the elites think the masses are too stupid to understand. That we will form mobs and burn mosques and hang muslims if they tell the truth. I have always believed that people can handle the truth and until the truth is made public we as a nation can not begin to take the required actions for our safety be it the bird flu which the WHO is downplaying or terrorism which the media and government is downplaying or the shape of the economy and the out of control spending which the government is downplaying. SPIN has been the worse thing to come into the media. IMO

I just read a news article that indicated he had just returned from Afghanistan, where he had been matched up for an arranged wedding.

Basically! And this was before I saw and heard on KRON4 this 'sad' story of travelling to Afghanistan to get married, and stressing out because his weife couldn't get a visa.
Oh brother! That is all we need. More muzzies in Fremont. Oh, and something I didn't hear is that he targeted Jooooz. Who would have guessed such a crazy thing!
TROP strikes again.

What a coincidence that both cases involved Jewish centers. NOT!
This concerns me. I don't care about some drunk or someone who had a bad day mouthing off. I do care about people being hurt or killed. These are acts of terrorism. Yet in both cases I saw little outrage in the media. Seems greater emphasis was given to trivial comments made by Nagin, Coulter and Johnny Rocker.

Actually, I don't know if he did target anybody in particular - other than people he perceived as Americans.
If you know SF, you'll know that most of the streets he was on were simply long, straight streets where he could have picked up enough speed to do damage. There are some Jewish organizations and hospitals a little further along, where he hit some people, but I think it may have been a coincidence. The Western Addition has a rich yuppified margin, but most of it is still black, and I believe he hit his first victims in the black neighborhood.
But I don't think there's any doubt at all that his motivation was hatred of Americans. A bystander even heard him declare he was a terrorist when he was arrested, and this is the statement the police are "examining closely" and refuse to release.

I wonder if it was "Alluha Akbar"

You can access the video clip at ktvu.com, where the reporter says that an unnamed witness said that Popal referred to himself as a terrorist. OTOH, the same clip has an interview with the guy who dragged one of the victims to safety as Popal came back at him -- the guy looks and sounds 100% as Arab as Popal.
To: BohDaThone
There are a lot of Lebanese Christians in San Francisco. They fled to SF in the 1970s and opened little grocery stores, many of them in poor neighborhoods. They were good citizens and always had a little Nativity scene in their windows at Christmas. I would say the guy who dragged the victim to safety was probably Lebanese.

If some nazi white guy started running over Blacks, the media would be hysterical. Howerver, it's open season on Jews and eventually all of us-they don't care.
