Jabbar was wearing those glasses during the attack on New Year’s Day, but they did not appear to be activated, police say....
Yeah.....sure.....riiiiiiight.
So what?
Why are they not trying to make a big deal out of where he bought the dam truck he ran over everyone with?
Also noteworthy to mention he didn’t try to pull this attack in Arlington TX, as well.
With 65 mosques in the DFW metro I’m not surprised he was here.
Quite.
Where’s the Ban Assault Truck advocates?
So, we need “universal background checks” why?
Exactly
Especially when you murder with a vehicle its a lesser sentence even though the victims are equally dead.
‘purchased one of the weapons used in the attack in Arlington, Texas.’
I would have thought that our anti gun zealous to stop “gun violence” idiot feds and their minions would have had these weapons in jail
already. ?!
How did the gun get out of jail?
“Private sale transactions are legal in Texas”
Only between residents of Texas. Transferring to a resident of another state, unless you have an FFL, is a violation of federal law.
Lots of muzzies in Ontario.

“Only between residents of Texas. Transferring to a resident of another state, unless you have an FFL, is a violation of federal law.”
Jabbar lived in Texas so the transaction should have been legal.
That damn Arlington Texas! It’s their fault! Or Abbotts!
Because bad guys are always stymied by laws that hinder their criminal intent.
I posted this on another thread to show who Shamsud is-—
Bourbon Street terror attack suspect had family ties to Louisiana
BY CLAIRE TAYLOR | Staff writer Jan 2, 2025
The man who authorities say killed 14 people in a New Year’s Day early-morning attack on Bourbon Street has family ties to several Acadiana communities, including Lafayette, St. Martinville and Ville Platte.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, of the Houston area, sped a rented pickup truck down Bourbon Street, running down people still celebrating the New Year around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to law enforcement. Police shot and killed him. The FBI said an Islamic State flag flew from the back of the white pickup truck and that he posted videos to social media pledging his support for ISIS.
Jabbar was born in October 1982 in Harris County, Texas, which is the Houston area, according to Texas birth records.
His father, Abdal Rahim Jabbar, was born in Beaumont, Texas. He was originally named Masterson Young but changed his name when he converted to the Islam religion.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s mother, Herma Everette, also was born in Jefferson County, Texas, which is the Beaumont area.
Those a generation before them, though, were part of a migration of residents, many of them Black, Creole and Cajun, who moved across the Texas border to the Beaumont area for work.
Public records show Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s paternal grandfather, Calvin Young Sr., was born in Louisiana, possibly in St. Landry Parish. U.S. Census records have him residing in the town of Evangeline in Acadia Parish in 1940.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s paternal grandmother was born Iola Bertrand in the Evangeline Parish community of Ville Platte. The couple moved to Beaumont after they married. That is where they raised their children.
Friends of Jabbar said in interviews that they grew up together in Beaumont, where he excelled in school.
A 1988 obituary for Calvin Young Jr., the brother of Abdal Rahim Jabbar, says he was a native of Lafayette and lists his stepmother being from Plaisance in rural St. Landry Parish. He also had a brother living in Kinder, a town in Allen Parish, and a daughter residing in Ville Platte.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s mother’s family also has ties to Acadiana.
Herma Everette’s mother, Mae Lena Malveaux, was born in Louisiana. Census records show her residing as a child and then as a young woman with her parents in St. Martinville in 1940 and 1950.
She married Herman George Everette in Jefferson County, Texas. It appears her husband was a native of Texas.
Read like he purchased one of the guns previously used in an Arlington Tx. terrorist attack.
But, the 1968 gun control law was supposed to make American Safe! I remember the democrats saying so back in 1968!
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.
And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...
“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
So how has that worked out for you America in the last 56 years!
All we know from the chief FBI source is that it was not terrorism like the Jan 6 prisoners!
Probably stopped in Canada for the cheap illegal cigs... $25 Canadian dollars per carton, or $17.31 American. Legal cigs are bout $180 per carton, but the indigenous peoples make real real cheap cigs.
