ABC News is reporting this morning that one of the two gunman shot last night in Garland, Texas has been identified as Elton Simpson, a many previously investigated by the FBI for links to terrorism:

One of the suspects in the shooting in Garland, Texas late Sunday has been identified as Elton Simpson, an Arizona man who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, according to a senior FBI official.

Overnight and today FBI agents and a bomb squad were at Simpson’s home in an apartment complex in north Phoenix where a robot is believed to be conducting an initial search of the apartment.

Officials believe Simpson is the person who sent out several Twitter messages prior to the attack on Sunday, in the last one using the hashtag #TexasAttack about half an hour before the shooting.

And…

Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there.

Well, that photo screwed up the Media narrative.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Back to Baltimore.

[Any photo of the 2nd perp?]

He lied to the FBI?
That shouldn’t be a crime for a Muslim - it’s OK to lie to infidels.

I once talked to two FBI agent. Asked me were I was going? Down the road. How far are you going? I’ll get back to you all when I get their. Are you alone? Are you stupid or do you see someone I don’t and if you do you boys need a mental heath day off. Than I broke into my best Forest Gump and they just walked away.

fairly amateurish

That is the scary part: These amateurs could pop up anywhere in an attempt to make a name for themselves.

For each one who actually does act, how many are in the shadows plotting and planning?

Myfrog backward, ,,, ha!

Really, ?

A pork filled Festival!

Mohamed cartoon Carnival!

Piggy Back Rides.
This could be HUGE!

Yeah, well I hope they all look like Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

usually the statements are tape recorded

[Daffynition]

Dear, dear Elton. We'll miss ya. Not.

[twister881]

Yep.

[txhurl]

Is the other one underage, why they’re not reporting on him?

[Jewbacca]

Don’t even do that. They will lie about what you said.

Simply say “I’d love to talk with you. Here is my lawyer’s card. Call and make an appointment. The interview will be videotaped and recorded by a court reporter.”

Actually it is a children's slide. The kiddies go up the steps on the slide and slide out on its tongue. It was very popular at the midwest state fairs I took it to. It is identifiable from a long way off and the little ones are drawn to it "mommy mommy mommy I wanna go on the frog!"

I used to have my promo up on several freebie sites but they are gone now. The promo was for showing the bosses at the fairs what I had. It was tremendous fun, especially the year I had my son with me.

Lying to a Federal agent is a felony.

Lying to the local cops isn’t.

Don’t talk to either without a lawyer.
