Shooting investigation leads police onto possible terror plot

A search warrant filed in Hennepin County connects a shooting investigation to a possible terror plot.

According to court documents, four Somali teenage males were riding in a cab on June 24 the same night a man was shot in the chest around 9:00 p.m.

Video surveillance at the Glendale Housing Projects captured the cab fleeing near the scene of the shooting.

Police were able to identify the taxicab and located the vehicle at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport four days later.

Inside the cab, police found a handwritten note describing acts of terrorism and bombings.

Police questioned an 18-year-old relative of the cab owner who confessed to being the driver of cab on June 24.

Minneapolis Police turned the terrorism note over to federal authorities and said they will "Further aid in their investigation of possible acts of terrorism against Unites States."

Nothing about arrests. Must be because they haven’t blown anything up yet.

“Just sic Congressman Keith Ellison onto ‘em.”

Yes, the Muslim Somali freeloaders who are milking the MN welfare system, are a natural constituency for the Communist Ellison, a fellow Muslim.

Over the years I’ve worked with any number of Somali, some were good, some were...well the phrase that comes to mind is “Tit’s on a bore”.
For what it’s worth Ellison wasn’t elected by Muslims (not enough to elect anyone). The 5thCD is one of the most blue areas in the country. Think Berkley with wind chill.

Keith Ellison for newbies

Mark Levin kindly invited me on his radio program this evening for a segment to talk about Keith Ellison and his “Bushitler” remarks. The segment is accessible here. Hot Air has posted video of Ellison’s remarks here.

Listeners visiting for the first time may want to check out my Standard article “Louis Farrakhan’s first congressman” and the companion post “Keith Ellison for dummies.” Most recently I wrote about Ellison’s “Bushitler” remarks in “The truth about Keith Ellison” and “The Elllison hustle.”

The story has been updated by channel 5. They talked to some cabbies at the airport and were told that it was all just a joke.

Right.

You and I know that it won't be a joke when the whole thing pops off right at Mpls Int'l. With all of the Muslims working at the airport and driving the cabs, it's just too easy.

While it's true that Ellison was elected by the dolts who like to think they're so hip and progressive (Jesse Ventura) the Muslims in his district would have elected him handily if there were enough of them. And there soon will be, not only in Mpls, but in St. Paul and suburbs as well.

Did you see TV clips of Ellison’s election night party?

There were people chanting “Allahu Akhbar!” as Ellison walked off the stage after his election speech.

I couldn’t but help notice how WCCO-TV (aka WDFL) turned down the audio when this happened.

I suspect there were a great many Muslims present that evening.

I guess I’ve been sleeping for a long time. I’m just beginning to notice how horribly liberal Don Shelby and WCCO are.
