GREENSBORO -- On Tuesday, Abdou Larabou Moussa showed up at Kay Chemical celebrating the morning's terrorist attacks.
On Wednesday, Moussa arrived at work in combat fatigues. On Thursday, he was fired, arrested and told he would be deported.
Moussa, 28, was charged with trespassing after refusing to leave Kay Chemical Co. on Capital Drive, Greensboro police said Friday. Company officials say Moussa loudly celebrated Tuesday's attacks and later distracted workers by dressing in combat fatigues.
After his arrest, Moussa admitted he is in the country illegally, according to Detective S.E. Sanders. Immigration and Naturalization Services will soon deport him to his home country of Niger, Sanders said.
Moussa was an employee of Key Resources, a local temp agency, and had been working in a Kay Chemical warehouse for about two weeks. He began taunting employees when he showed up for work Tuesday, Kay Chemical Vice President Steve Mosh said.
"It was incredibly inappropriate," Mosh said. "He said he was glad (the attacks) happened. He was gloating."
The next day, Moussa came to work dressed in combat fatigues. He was quickly told to go home. On Thursday, Key Resources fired him.
Moussa then told his employers that he wanted to come back to Kay Chemical to get his final paycheck. At the request of officials at Kay Chemical and Key Resources, police escorted Moussa back into the Kay Chemical. When he refused to leave, he was arrested, Sanders said.
Moussa never threatened Kay Chemical employees. Pam Medlin, owner of Key Resources, said Moussa's actions and clothing, however, made his co-workers feel threatened.
"I wanted him to know this is not tolerated in this country," she said. "You cannot say this. It is viewed as a threat."
Company officials were in compliance with the law when they fired Moussa, according to Deborah Ross, director of the ACLU of North Carolina.
"North Carolina is an employment-at-will state," she said. "You can be fired for your political beliefs by a private employer here."
Key Resources conducted a thorough background check on Moussa, but found nothing to indicate that he was in the country illegally, Medlin said.
Do we know this for certain? It doesn't take much effort to break one of those doors down.
Secrets can't be kept, just have them serve a month or two in an AIDS infected cellblock, with "blind" guards.
Tuesday night, a group of them cathered at a Somali restaurant in West Seattle to celebrate. According to reports on Michael Medved radio show, they were dancing and cheering and shouting with joy. Some sane Muslim fellow went to the restaurant and told them to stop, but they would not.
These Somalis got here at taxpayer expense, we paid for their ticket as part of some relief effort to save poor downtrodden natives, and I'm quite sure that we're paying their rent and handing them welfare checks and free medical services too.
Any group of foreign nationals who celebrated the WTC outrage should be deported tomorrow; they are clearly a threat to our national security. I don't want to pay to keep them in our jails.
His home country is a cesspool. Can you imagine the arrogance of someone, gloating about the deaths of thousands and wearing combat fatigues to work, when he's just a security check away from being deported back into a cesspool?
Of course, once he's back in Niger, he'll get on another plane under an assumed name, and start work the following Monday at a company down the street.
Obviously there are American citizens who would fall into the category I just mentioned, but they are protected by US law and nothing can be done about them, except by force of national will remaining so united and unyielding, that they dare not call attention to the treason in their hearts and minds.
For all the sob stories there have been about harassment of Arabs and some broken windows on Mosques, it seems Americans are being extremely tolerant that this guy was allowed to gloat of the death of Americans and the destruction of our economy.
A local Engineering firm here in Detroit had a little situation where an Arabic man jumped and appluaded the crashes...after work, he was givin an old fashion blanket party in the parking lot, and the next day he was fired.
I for one was happy to see it, and a restored faith in patriotism has surounded me.

You can tell as the link shows both High Point and Greensboro as news links. High Point is in the Greensboro (Triad) area of NC.
My wife is from Greensboro, NC. It's an awesome place;good people.
Nah, the guys with crew-cuts and loud voices at work are fine with my paper-weight. Texas is like that.
