Why You Should Be Careful Venturing into Malls and Shopping Centers in Northern Virginia This Weekend
Townhall.com ^ | 30 October A.D. 2021 | Matt Vespa

It's Halloween weekend—and there is a boogeyman out there. This is no drill. The residents of Northern Virginia are under a terror threat over the next 72 hours as officials warn that an active ISIS cell could launch an attack soon. Authorities have warned folks heading into malls and shopping centers. Reportedly, two ISIS operatives have been tasked with carrying out some attack in a population center. Police presence will be increased in the area (via CBS News):

Police in Northern Virginia are on a heightened state of alert as a new law enforcement alert warned of a potential threat against malls and shopping centers located just outside of Washington, D.C. The threat originated with ISIS and is the basis for the alert, sources told CBS News

"We have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas and shopping malls," Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis said Friday.

Police said the increased law enforcement presence will be in place through the Halloween weekend and ahead of Virginia's gubernatorial election. Law enforcement officials said they are acting out of an abundance of caution, and as they learn more about the threat, the increased law enforcement presence could be extended through Tuesday's election.

Now, the fact that we allowed tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan refugees to resettle in the area couldn’t be a reason, right? Of course, there were some bad dudes that got here and slipped through the cracks. And yes, we shouldn’t be shocked if some terrorists got through. They’ve done so before. It’s not lockdown-worthy, but just be aware if you’re a resident of NoVa and are out and about this weekend.

[[McAuliffe is down 8 points.]]

Vote counting will be suspended at midnight the day of the vote, due to a pipe ,eak in the vote counting building, then Miraculously, he will be ahead by a large enough count that his opponent can’t win the following morning as soon as counting resumes.

Videos of vote counting personel will be seen hau,ing out large suitcases after the vote counting is suspended, and the counters will be seen submitting ballots over and over and over during the midnight hours, yet

The left Wil. Inaistnthatnthere is no cheating and those that say so, and who go to protests over it, are domestic terrorists

“Antifa are genuine terrorists.

No need to pretend to be.”

Genuine terrorists the police leave alone. That’s why I said terrorists should disguise themselves as Antifa.

Blm are genuine domestic terrorists too. They have caused many many billions of dollars worth of damage, stolen lord knows how much in merchandise, c,owed down store chains in ereas, even murdered people and cops, and tried burning gov bui,dings with workers in them

Meanwhile, peaceful,flag waving protestors exercising their constitutional right to free speech are sitting In solitary, denied their rights, and being blackmailed to renounce Trump before they can get bail.

You don’t think that the Taliban would have done something mean like block Afghans who helped us while letting terrorists board our planes? Oh, I forgot - Islam is the “Religion of Peace” so there can’t be terrorists. Silly me, what was I thinking?

There's certainly going to be gunfire.

FBI "assets" are currently following the ISIS Terrorists around now, to make sure they go to the "right" malls.

We have finally discovered that the Biden Administration is efficient at at least three things: exporting jobs, importing Covid and importing terrorists. Those of you who say Biden is good for nothing and he doesn’t help anyone are mistaken. Just ask the Taliban.

“Where would Isis ever get any weapons anyway?”

From the American gun culture, where else? /s

As long these Terrorists “self identify” as Terrorists and are “fully” vaccinated, I see no reason why they can not freely roam our country and terrorize as they see fit. :)

You watch, they’ll push it to make mail in voting the only way to vote. Just like they did with COVID.

I don’t have to worry about our malls where I live. No one goes and they are mostly empty.

The Yut riots (all in good fun) killed most of the foot traffic while the occasional gun shots in the parking lots make it less attractive for most.

Don’t know about Virginia, but maybe ISIS is targeting empty stores too?

Yep, just don’t wear any patriotic/MAGA clothes and you are golden.

I predict there is no attack anyway. The bad guys were probing and learned what they wanted to know.

Voter suppression, much?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, and in fact, it makes perfect sense.

my kid lives near Landmark and believe me, I’m not happy about that shelter.
FO Mall is a ghetto mall now? I have not been there in about 5/6 years.
It was holding up nicely then but stuff happens.

There is a lot of sarcasm on this thread, but an attack like this would be very damaging to Biden (his policies), FBI (they are supposed to prevent this), and democrats in general (they are in charge).

We failed in our withdrawal and imported hundreds if not thousands of unvetted and unidentified fighting age males from Afghanistan. Something horrible is INEVITABLE because of Biden’s actions and innocents will pay for it directly and indirectly.
