Why You Should Be Careful Venturing into Malls and Shopping Centers in Northern Virginia This Weekend

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.

Oh. So the parents of raped schoolchildren aren’t the danger any more? I thought they would be organizing mass headchoppings in the malls. After all, the fbi considers the moms and dads as terrorists, and so THEY are the ones to look out for, not religious fanatics with machetes and bombs who want to turn this country into a haven for mooselimbs and other headchoppers.

The decrepit old fool is responsible for this situation. The filthy dirty-beard towelheads know they are free to go allahu-akhbaring while our kids go trick-or-treating since the decrepit old fool will no nothing to stop them.

It doesn’t matter. Gun control laws will prohibit those criminals from accessing any of the weapons.

My rule is to avoid any place on a bus line. And that includes most of the malls around me.

Unvetted Afghans OWE Biden and the commies in our 'military'.... just like the hoards of illegals crossing the boarder 'owe' Biden. Thugs of the world know Biden butters their bread. Northern Virginia is liberal democrat so I assume this stunt helps democrats.

... 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).

Maybe, but you wouldn't read about any damage in the Western Mainstream Media where White men, Republicans and Trump would bear full responsibility.

... FBI (they are supposed to prevent this)...

Like they did when they ignored repeated warnings about the Tsarnaev Brothers by several intelligence agencies including the FSB? The FBI earned the Boston Marathon Bombing in the middle of the revered Obama Regime.

Nah, when ya go full Marxist ya lose all ability to think, even if you were FBI.

Evil alone guides your actions.

The media still has “power” to shape narratives, but trust is in short supply.

When this happens it will be another red pill.

<< an active ISIS cell could launch an attack soon >>

And the capital police will no doubt hold the doors open for them and wave them in.

Please. What a bunch of crap. Have situational awareness and enjoy the weekend no matter where you go.

Just pathetic.

I would imagine folks in The Mountain State are armed most of the time?

I understand West Va. is a permitless carry state.

The sand goblins would be in for a nasty surprise.

Anyone who thinks only one terrorist jumped the border, is a fool.

With sanctuary policies and the lure of fee stuff, Biden and the Democrats have effectively invited terrorism into this country.
