Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, lone jihadist
New details from ABC 11 in Raleigh, N.C., about the Muslim man who plowed into students on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus today:
The driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill on Friday told police it was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News.
It happened around noon Friday in front of Lenoir Hall on the campus, in a common area known as the Pit. Paramedics took six people to UNC Hospitals. Five had been released by Friday evening and the sixth was not expected to be admitted.
Officials say none of the people were seriously injured. Three refused treatment at the scene.
Chapel Hill police say they arrested the suspect, Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, 23, of Chapel Hill, shortly after the incident. Several witnesses were able to give police the rented Jeep Cherokee's license plate number.
Police said they would charge Taheriazar, a psychology major who graduated from UNC last semester, with several counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
...Sources say Taheriazar told police he was seeking retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News justice correspondent Pierre Thomas. Taheriazar apparently told police he tried to rent the biggest SUV he could find to use in the attack.
By Friday afternoon, a police SWAT team had surrounded a Carrboro apartment complex where Taheriazar reportedly lived.
Taheriazar is a native of Iran and a December 2005 UNC graduate, according to the Raleigh News and Observer.

$110 for a never fired 7.62 NATO rifle which came complete with a ten round mag and all the cosmoline you could want. I picked up a 'sporter' style stock from some outfit in Arkansas I think, dunked the whole mess in Simple Green, soaked it for a day or two, and then elbow greased the hell out of it.
It turned into a right nice shooter. I topped it off with a mount I found someplace else on the 'net and a crappy Tasco scope.
I can ring cast iron skillets out to 400 yards or so with it. Not bad for a total investment of less than $250.00. Not bad at all.
Like I said; wish I'd bought six of 'em.

Agree..... some of the old surplus stuff looks like former fence posts to some and gold to others who know what is possible........scrap metal has it's uses.....:o)
Thanks again, I find this all very interesting.
Excellent!
Scary. True.
Finance and transport, and their attendant paperwork..
And just to remove any doubt at all as to whose SUV it may have been, john kerry will again insist that it is not his SUV and it is also not the one owned by someone else in his family.

It would not surprise me if our federal governments reaction to this incident is to import more Muslims to this country. After "Black Hawk Down," it started import bunches of Somalis. After 9/11, it still refused to protect our borders.
FYI - thought you might appreciate it
Don't dare say anything bad about them, including the fact that they might be inclined to be violent if you do. Just stand down.
What's he doing on FoxNews? Sounds like he'd be more at home on CNN or NBC or...
Quite a beak on him--

When I see a woman in Mohammad's Slave Rags--I know what it must be like to be a Jew in the presence of a Nazi in full uniform.
But as second you get a special mention...
That's right! If they want to blow things up and kill and torture people, why should we care. They have religious freedoms too. Great point. Who are we to prescribe how they worship! /s
His defense? I'm a Muslim!
