When I heard this story on FOX this afternoon, they showed this guy's website and the picture of Khomeini jumped out at me, but none of the FOX reporters said anything. His name isn't Iranian, so I figured he was Lebanese

Just recall the flaming Doctors of Glascow Airport and the general shock that medical professionals could do such a thing.

Don’t bother with due process, this guy is from Lebanon. Ship him back there and see how he does in his “homeland”.

so this is the story fox news was too busy to report on. I feel this was way more important than OJ, a smelly smoker getting fired, and young man getting gummed by a nurse shark. all got LOTS of coverage today. I think they spent 1 minute on this story.

“”police authorities are investigating what may have inspired HOUSSEIN A. Zorkot . . to carry an AK-47 assault rifle to a public park”

. . . photos of himself and family members in Lebanon, along with photos of the now-deceased Iranian strongman and Muslim mullah, the Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini, as well as leaders of the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

“He identifies his heroes as the Prophet Mohammed, Imam Ali, and the Imam Husain: the heroes of Shia Islam.”

I think I can help the police with their investigation.

The AK-47 was developed in the aftermath of the Second World War in Russia and has seen been used by armies and terrorists around the world. The AK-47 or “Kalashnikov” – after its Russian inventor – is capable of firing 600 lethal rounds per minute at ranges exceeding 400 yards. The lethality of the AK-47 is not common among typical hunting rifles, for example. The flag of Hezbollah bears a fist raising aloft an AK-47.

Another stupid reporter. Nobody is going to fire 600 lethal rounds in a minute in excess of 400 yards from an AK. Depending on how the weapons are employed, the typical hunting rifle can be far more lethal than the AK.

Houssein, a native of Lebanon, remains in custody under a $1million bond and is charged with firearms violations.

Willfully promoting a terrorist organization of course is no grounds for retention.

Lets focus on the guns.

They are easier to prosecute for they aren't capable of decisive thinking.

But it does OK when you’re hunting humans.
Didn’t the guy that killed the group of hunters (in WI?) use an AK-47?

Alas, it doesn't have to be fact, it just has to be news.

Osama now has been renamed Usama.

Fact?

No

News?

Yes

Pretty soon, we’re going to be hearing from the media that he loves his mother, is kind to children and small animals, volunteers in the community, and is a general all around nice guy.

The fact that he is a jihadist consumed with hatred for America will be conveniently ignored.

This guy should be duck taped to the gun barrel of an Israeli tank.

No. He used an SKS.

Thanks for the correction.

I guess I'd rather not be hunted with an SKS or an AK-47!

Didn’t Hizb Allah take responsibility for the Marine barrack building truck bombing in Lebanon back in the 80’s? This guy needs a blanket party given in his honor by about 3 or 4 marines.

True. But I'd rather have my .25-06 bolt action than an AK-47, if it came to that.

Yeas, and I bet his AK was semiauto anyway.

Yes, Hezbollah (Hizb Allah) did take responsibility for it. We were about to launch a serious attack on their main base in Lebanon, where it was planned and the truck bomb was prepared, but Reagan pulled the plug on the attack literally at the last minute. A short time later French jets came in and bombed the place.

It’s one of the few times I ever disagreed with anything Reagan did.

Looks like some shoddy police work here. If they could hit him with a taser, they could have hit him with a .45 caliber just as easy.
