The police have described him as "a derranged man," but do not think he is part of a terrorist group. The guy is 22/23 years old, an African American, and a muslim.Well that's a relief!

A sure indicator of derangement.

".....do not think he is part of a terrorist group"
Yeah, right! Funny how they announce that the guy is not a terrorist before they have any information to support it.
Stinking media...

Imagine that a “muslim”,....must have been on his way to meet the famous 72 virgins.
And the police are completely compliant with this ‘not a terrorist’ meme.

...
Law enforcement officials also told Fox News that police found five pounds of a substance labeled ammonium nitrate inside the backpack — field tests, however, came back negative. A notebook was also found containing threatening phrases like “Al Qaeda” and “Taliban rule” and “defeated coalition forces,” the officials said.
