New details emerge surrounding Muhammad contest shooting (meaty article)
israelhayom.com ^ | Steve Emerson

Posted on 05/09/2015 9:42:43 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The event was spurred in part as a reaction to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) "Stand with the Prophet" conference in January in which radical Islamic leaders from around the United States attacked those who have "defamed the Prophet" as responsible for the rise of Islamic extremist groups and the "world wide hatred of Muslims."

The CAIR-sponsored event in Garland took place in January of this year just after the Islamic terrorist massacre of the cartoonists working at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris. Geller's event also sought to commemorate the victims of the Paris attack.

According to the IPT source, social media postings about the event began appearing en masse about three days prior. They featured vicious exhortations to kill those responsible and urged beheadings and mass killings. Simpson, who court records show had a long affinity with jihadist causes, apparently saw some of those calls to violence and headed to Texas.

It is not yet known what prompted the late-hour focus on the Garland meeting within foreign jihadi circles, but investigators are confident Simpson and Soofi were trying to respond to those specific calls for jihad.

At this point, authorities do not believe the attack was well planned or that Simpson and Soofi ever conducted reconnaissance on the Culwell Center before coming out, guns blazing.

If they had, they might have discovered that organizers, well aware of the inherent threat of violence an event like theirs carries, paid $10,000 to secure the venue with off-duty police officers. That was in addition to the security provided by members of Garland's SWAT team, along with FBI and ATF agents.

Really? a 9mm carbine and a black ops looking 22?

Bottom line is they are worm dirt and may I just say I had a good romp working RC 135s.

What confuses me about all this and the Boston Tsnarev thing is we were tipped off.

Human has drawing contest. Subhumans hear of contest. Two worms try to kill humans. Human kills worms. Worms dead.

End of story.

It prolly won’t happen due to safety concerns for him and his loved ones, but it would be interesting in learning a bit more about him; what makes him tick.

Especially how he developed his titanium spine.

I'd guess that when the perps suddenly jumped up and started shooting, he was already exposed. So he figured that if he ran for cover they'd just shoot him. Therefore, attack - including hitting his targets very accurately - was his only way to stay alive.

Which is all quite logical. However I imagine actually DOING it was just a tad more stressful than discussing it, especially since he probably had all of two seconds to figure all of that out, draw and start firing!

Almost a whole week goes by, and we don;t ever hear the name of the hero traffic cop that dispatched the two jihadis.

He has probably requested his name be withheld to keep his family safe.

I disagree. I beleive they are what the Communists called " useful idiots", done under the guise of compassion and empathy.
While their intentions are good and just (all Christian denominations), they have sold out their souls to the false idol($$$)to maintain their "tax-free status" & donations.

I prefer the one with the big blast of blinding light followed by the blast wave itself. No reason to mess around with savages.

I agree; however, their naivete does not take away from their traitorous behavior...same for LIBs. Of course, they are always well-intended. What hogwash!

I have heard that he is a 38 year veteran who is 60 years old.

Sounds like a gun guy. I would not be surprised if he had a couple of shooting trophies on a shelf somewhere.

I now quite a few people like that, it is about the right age, and the model 21 Glock is pretty much a “gun guy” indicator.

Thanks. Perhaps more will be revealed.

I loved my model 21. Never would have gotten rid of it except that it was one of the originals, and there still were some feeding issues that needed to be worked out. I’d like to get another. Definite instinctual point and shoot gun for me.

Don’t mess with Texas. To paraphrase that old Texas saw: you try to kill us, we’ll kill you back.
