COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio State student drove a speeding car into a crowd outside a classroom building Monday morning, then got out and slashed at people with a large knife, sending 11 people to the hospital in what authorities said was a planned assault.

University public safety officials identified the student as Abdul Razak Ali Artan. Officials said they had no information on a possible motive and said that campus video cameras showed Artan was alone in the car.

Oh and hang his corpse by the heels high enough that the snowflakes can’t figure out how to cut him down. Let the corpse grow green with mold until it eventually falls to the ground. Bring in maggots (the non-human kind) to finish the job.

Did you ever think you’d see the day that someone named Abdul Razak Ali Artan would be a freshman at Ohio State?

FBI eyes ‘lone-wolf’ terror attack in Ohio
February 19th, 2016 | Author: The Meister

by Leo Hohmann

A Muslim immigrant from Africa unleashed a bloody machete attack on patrons at a restaurant owned by a Christian Arab Israeli in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night and the FBI is now investigating it as a possible act of “lone-wolf” terrorism.

CBS News was first to identify the attacker, who entered the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant and began slashing people, as a man named Mohamed Barry. CBS reported Barry had a background from Somalia but a family friend told WND Saturday that Barry was originally from Guinea in west Africa. Columbus Police have yet to confirm his country of origin.

Barry was known to the FBI, but not under full-scale investigation, law enforcement sources told ABC News. He was in a law enforcement database which includes names potentially related to terrorism, sources said.

“He came to each table and just started hitting them,” one of the diners, Karen Bass, told CBS News. “There was a man on the floor bleeding. There was blood on the floor. It was awful. It was just carnage.”

Four people were wounded in the machete attack, one critically.

The owner of the restaurant, Hany Baransi, who is a Christian Arab from Israel, said he had not taken a day off since Jan. 2 but took off Thursday night because of a migraine headache. He is a proud Israeli citizen who flies the Israeli flag in his restaurant.

“Obviously we were targeted because there’s a whole bunch of businesses around here,” he told the Columbus Dispatch.

As an Arab Christian who supports Israel, he described himself as “the minor, minor, minor of the minority. So nobody likes me.”

“In the interview with the Lantern, Artan described his Muslim prayers and said that Ohio State was so big that he didn’t even know where to pray.”

This suggests that his meltdown could be a combination of several factors: (1) the disorientation and loneliness many students feel on huge college campuses; (2) a realization that, as final exams loomed, he wasn't cutting the mustard; and (3) his realization as a Muslim that he was in the belly of The Great Satan, and that no amount of school-mandated political correctness could make him feel at home.

They don’t know what the motive could have been... It’s such a mystery. Unless, that is, you consider that he is Muslim. Then there is SOME reasonable avenue to consider and investigate.

Oh, wait! Is that Profiling?!!! YET IT IS!!! And that is how investigative work starts.

I’m fairly confident he was pissed because midterms were cancelled as a result of the post election grief

” . . . said that Ohio State was so big that he didn’t even know where to pray.”

Just a shame that someone hadn’t pointed out to him that he’d have little trouble finding such a place in Somalia, and that it probably wouldn’t be too tough to find folks who would help return him there.

he was profiled at OSU as a muslim student afraid of publicly praying as people are afraid of the stereotypes of muslims. No joke.

Police said they believe Artan is 20 years old, and in an interview with the Lantern student newspaper in August he said that he was a junior in logistics management

"logistics management"

Another bullsh!t "major" in a world full which is becoming increasingly filled with bullsh!t majors.

Apparently, despite his area of study, logistics were not his strong point...

“I’m a Muslim, it’s not what the media portrays me to be.”

Yeah, because the lying sack of shite media portrays you as moderate, harmless, and reasonable.
