“Hassan.” Imagine that.
(also known as Ossama Hassan Eldarandaly)
maybe his imam can explain the source of his rage
the unjust Bush wars of oppression against muslims, perhaps. The existence of Israel. The Crusades. And other reasons for justifiable rage.

Thank you VERY much for finding this!
Interesting, at a minimum.
I live near San Diego and hadn’t even heard about this.
Amazing record. Didn’t they get kind of tired of seeing him again and again in traffic school?
Did they ever bother to check his record before slapping his wrist again and again?
More interesting is what exactly caused him to go Jihaad?
Was it a phone call from a local Mosque? Was it events in Egypt? Or did he just see an opportunity to commit mass murder regardless of his own outcome?
I cannot rationally even for a second consider it was just a mistake, this was deliberate.
This is a prime example that America for a large part cannot understand, the Kumbaya singers still think they can open up their hearts, homes and jobs to Muslims and they will be normal people.
What will it take, a dirty radioactive bomb detonated at Disneyland?
sadly and unfortunately the mindset of the weak liberal society allows just for that to happen, yes they do show anger and a decent mindset for revenge, but at what cost?
Knowledge of very bad materials leaked over the weekend
in San Diego (or thereabouts), absolutely open borders,
and monsters like this encouraged to murder Americans.
THERE IS NOT ONE TESTICLE IN THE ENTIRE US CONGRESS.
I am sure other FReepers will tell you that when it first happened the MSM put a clamp on the drivers name.
And I only heard it was confirmed he was a Moslem just from these newer threads, but I knew from a gut feeling that it was a Muslim American Jihad incident.
Daly is an Egyptian immigrant who worked as a doctor in his native country before taking a job driving a cab in San Diego.
Court documents indicate Daly has lived in San Diego for at least seven years and that his given name is "Ossama Hassan El-Darandaly." He changed his name to Sam Hassan Daly sometime since 2005.
Daly’s roommate, Dan Rose, told us Hassan has been having financial and personal problems.
What cab company continues to employ him???
The muslim driver was probably down on the floor of the taxi on his knees with his forehead pressed against the accellerator busily saying his prayers.
Let’s give these poor, misunderstood immigrants, not completely used to operating complicated machinery, the benefit of the doubt.
Look at the love in his eyes.
That’s muslim DNA right there...
Why is he still licensed for livery work?
I haven’t heard anything definitive on his motive, but I’m afraid no one will investigate or report on it.
