Just today a synagogue in Michigan and now ROTC cadets.
Stay alert.
As usual, no ID of the murderer, nor reports of the media demanding his identity.
90% chance that the name Mohammed is linked to the shooter when the ID is delayed.
So sad. And under Scamberger, Virginia will only get worse

More of Joe Pedo Biden’s “diversity” from our illegal alien “neighbors”.
Karol Marcowicz is reporting the following:
I'm reliably informed that the alleged attacker of Old Dominion is Mohamed Jalloh, the same Jalloh who was previously convicted of providing support to ISIL.

“ As usual, no ID of the murderer, nor reports of the media demanding his identity.”
I’m still waiting for information about the guy who drove his vehicle past the barriers near the White House several days ago. It’s like it never happened.
You are correct.
Mohamed Jalloh is the alleged perp according to Karol Markowicz.
If he was previously convicted of supporting ISIL why is he still in this country?
Just another fun-loving moozlum. Move along. There is nothing to see here, citizen!
I work events at ODU all the time. Most crime occurs off campus, there are some sketchy neighborhoods .
February 2025 there was a double homicide that occurred on campus in a parking lot . Local yutes from the sketchy neighborhoods that were shot by a thug. Neither victims or shooter were students or employees of ODU.
Of course it is, just another peaceful muslim..they dont believe here in our country, PERIOD..we have enough nut cases we dont need Arabs here
In Virginia, a sanctuary state no less...
How is it that santuary states and cities are allowed to exist?
I’m with you on this one.
“If he was previously convicted of supporting ISIL why is he still in this country?”
Or on this planet?
I bet you the terrorist schmuck in Michigan is also named Mohammed we cant co exist with vermin, yeah I said it
“attacker of Old Dominion is Mohamed Jalloh”
And in unison, a collective sigh of relief is heard across the land Goryeo.
I used to drive past ODU during my daily commute when I worked on the Naval base.
Beautiful campus in a stately old neighborhood. Unfortunately, like much of the 757, quality of life greatly diminished by rampant black crime.
Of note, this shooter appears black as well. A former National Guardsman and naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone from what I'm reading.
Also of note, his shooting spree ended when a heroic ROTC cadet stabbed him to death with a knife.
Very good question.
The killer is a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone and a former National Guardsman himself. Convicted of terrorist activities in 2016 and released from prison in 2024.
Indeed. why TF was he still here?
