Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani immigrant who police say has admitted parking an SUV bomb in New York, piled up debts and made few friends in the U.S.
For most of the past decade, Pakistani immigrant Faisal Shahzad struggled to find his place in America, piling up debts and bouncing from one run-down neighborhood to another.
In 2004, he and his wife, Huma Mian, plunked down savings to take out a $218,400 mortgage for a two-story house in Shelton, a gritty Bridgeport suburb. The following year, Shahzad was awarded a master's of business administration degree from the University of Bridgeport, normally a ticket to a prosperous future.

He had $100 dollar bills to buy a car, and had $100 bills to board a plane, I wouldn’t say he is all that poor. Those propane tanks, the fertilizer is expensive.
Well.. hopefully he’ll find it now .. on the Gallows!
People in Shelton are going to be shocked to find out they’re a “gritty suburb of Bridgeport”.
The MSM struggles to “understand” the plight of the poor sad bomber.
Nary a mention of jihad motivation.
If he had been a white guy, the MSM would be running nonstop documentaries tying him to the tea party movement and white racist hate groups.
And then along came "hope and change". Obama happens.
Such a sad story.....Crocadile tears for a terrorist from the drive by’s......Sickening.....I would hate to see what would happen if this had been a White, middle class conservative, that listens to Rush Limbaugh......
Let’s say it all together: “It’s all our fault. If we had just been friends with him, he would never have done this. We should all feel guilty.”
In February 2009, he obtained a $65,000 home equity loan from Wachovia Bank. And on April 17, 2009, he became a U.S. citizen in a ceremony before a federal magistrate at the U.S. courthouse in Bridgeport.
But two months later, in June 2009, he quit the job he had held for three years. That month, he, his wife, and their children — a girl about 4 and a boy about 1 — walked away from their home in Shelton.” So I assume he quit his job to spend more time training for his terror debut———
The US mainstream press is embarrassing.
What clowns.
Perhaps this bomber should have blown up these liberals houses and destroyed their lives, see if they go “awwwwwwwwwwwwww poor guy he struggled with a mortgage and had family problems” Cry me an f’n river..he is a TERRORIST who wanted to kill thousands of people..screw these liberal jackasses, they don’t give a damn about human life unless it affects one of their own, and maybe even then they don’t care
ROTFL!!!
I thought Muslims aren’t supposed to get mortgages. They can’t use any financial instruments that involve interest. Something’s not right.
Cry me a flipping river.
How can American reportes write such sympathethic crap like this about a terrorist? Oh, they write for the LA Times. Okay. Now I understand. Sorry I asked.
I knew it was really Bush’s fault. Somehow, some way, I knew it was.
BUSH’S FAULT.
Unspoken of is the Jihadist motivation behind his acts.
Unspoken of is the blistering heat, seering pain and blazing death on the sidewalk had that bomb gone off as planned.
The writer of this story should be sentenced to cleaning toilets for 30 years.
The traitorous moron came from a very wealthy family (his father was the vice chief of their air force). Not only am I happy he “lost” his house, I hope he “loses” his life soon. Traitor.
