After Manchester, growing concerns in Minneapolis
Powerline ^ | May 26,2017 | Scott Johnson

The massacre in Manchester this week seems to have prompted attention to the arrest of brothers Abdullah and Majid Alrifahe in north Minneapolis on May 11. Inside the parked car they were sitting in was a stash of guns, ammo, drone parts and an inert hand grenade.

The arrest report provides an inventory of the stash officers found in “a cursory search” of the vehicle: “a loaded AK 47-type assault rifle, another rifle, several assault rifle magazines and large quantities of different ammunition (including shotgun shells), discharged shell casings and BB ammunition. Also found were several cell phones, computers and electronics equipment including drone parts.” And then we have this: “Bomb Squad personnel called to the scene noted that the variety of the ammunition and large quantity of BBs and electronic devices could be used for bomb-making.”

The Star Tribune published a brief article the following week. The Star Tribune story appears to be drawn directly from the arrest report. It has not returned to the story since the linked May 15 article.

As the driver of the car in which the stash was found, Abdullah Alrifahe has been charged with one felony count of possession of a pistol without a permit. He is in detention on $200,000 bond, which is suggestive of the seriousness with which authorities view the case.

Yesterday, nearly two weeks after the arrests, CBSMinnesota’s Esme Murphy reported on the case (text here, video below). The sole felony charge against Abdullah and the misdemeanor charges against Majid belie the seriousness of the case reflected in the amount at which bail is set on Abdullah Alrifahe. The text of the story tactfully states that the case has raised “growing concerns.” Authorities have obviously had concerns since they found the brothers’ stash.

Yep, that’s the problem. Also, when they say, “could be bomb making material”.....hmmm, well, there’s lots of things that could fall into that category. Unless there were actual explosives, outside of gun rounds, there’s nothing to act on here. The numerous cell phones is certainly suspicious though.

When I leave work at 4 and get in my car, I’ll have 2 cell phones, a cellular-capable iPad, and a laptop in my car.

A while back, the cops arrested some guy here and they called in a Hazmat team, SWAT, and evacuated the neighborhood because he had a “cache of arms and ammunition”. The later story said that he had 5000 rounds of ammo in his home and about 10 guns. For most FReepers, that’s a Second Amendment Starter Kit.

Minnesota will go Democrat in 2020. The Secretary of State will see to that, following Mark Ritchie’s example. Just pre-position some strategically “abandoned” cars with marked ballots in the boot. Some place like the Red Lake Reservation.

It’s already trended R. Just since Nov., D edge is down to +2.

Shocking it’s that low.

You put your finger on it. Anybody can buy a practice grenade that's all grenade except for the explosive charge, the trigger, and the detonator. That means the only apparent crime was the older of the men being legally disqualified from carrying a firearm.

You aren’t a follower of the ROP. That is the difference.

A list (of) all moderate Moslems must follow BUMP To The Top.

There are MILLIONS of Muslims that are not going to raise a finger to kill you.

But there are thousands in the US right now who are working to kill American infidels. Those who do kill will get no criticism from the "peaceful" Muslims because if they do, they are guilty of criticizing Islam. Criticizing Islam is at the top of the list for a death sentence.

As the "radicals" kill, the peaceful Muslims will be working to overthrow our Constitution and implement Sharia Law. Once Sharia Law is implemented, then radicals can kill, rape, enslave, behead infidels at will. Because Sharia Courts will blame the victim as these barbarians side with the murderers, the rapists, the RAT traitors who support the invasion of the west.

Radical means killer, peaceful means they are working to enslave you in a Muslim He$$ that rivals the $hitpit these barbarians came from. All Muslims must go and their murderous cult must be outlawed.
