SF Driver Called Himself a "Terrorist"
Little Green Footballs & KTVU ^ | August 30, 2006

Posted on 08/30/2006 9:43:21 AM PDT by Mount Athos

From KTVU in San Francisco, here’s a little bit of information that somehow failed to make it into any of the media reports on yesterday’s hit and run attacks in San Francisco.

Watch as reporter Rob Roth says a witness heard the suspect refer to himself as a “terrorist,” then without taking a breath tells us this was not an act of terrorism.

This article quotes family members as saying he was on 'medication'. I would be interested to see what that medication that might be..... (my guess...an SSRI)

We need to compile the instances of SJS:

1. SF Hit and Run SUV Spree.

2. UNC Jeep Jihad 3. Seattle Jewish Center.

4. El Al LAX Ticket Counter Shoot Em Up.July 2002.

Others?

The MSM has said so far today that the Muzzie was a)on medication b)distressed and stressed about an arranged marriage in Afghanistan c)Having a rough time here in the US with the way he's being treated.

I guess its ok he killed a US Citizen and injured 15 more by running over them with his SUV. It only took 24 hours for the information to surface that he was a) a Muzzie b) of Middle Eastern decent c)claiming to be a terrorist. The MSM is burying the information the best they can. IMO there needs to be a house cleaning in the US. In the US one can practice freedom of religion only if their religion tolerates others' freedom.

fox - story with terrorist angle

I see no indication whatever of any sort of terrorist angle in the Fox story.

Zero Tolerance only applies to grade schoolers who bring a Tylenol to school and are suspended for six months for having "drugs". It does not apply to freelance terrorists who run infidels over with their cars. In the latter case, we need to understand their FEEEEEELINGS.

I heard on KSFO this morning that in the SF Chronicle article on this story, the word SUV was mentioned 14 times and the word Muslim was not mentioned at all. Can you spell political correctness?

It was widely discounted as not terrorism, but what about the 2 snipers who shot and killed so many in the south?

Jewish Center in Seattle, and one a few years ago at some child care center (I think it was near Los Angeles).

Has anyone compiled a list of all of these non-terrorist acts? I think about the shooting in Seattle, the similar driving over pedestrians case at OSU? I'm sure there have been others recently.

Here is an update posted to the story on lgf:

An interesting coincidence (and possible motive for revenge?) from earlier this month, when an elderly man lost control of his car and ran into a crowd outside Omeed Aziz Popal’s mosque: Car injures 11 outside mosque. (Hat tip: Adam.)

A 77-year-old man plowed his car into a group gathered outside a Hayward mosque Friday afternoon, injuring 11, police said.

Because the members of the Abu Bakr Siddiq Mosque mostly belong to the Afghan community, reports of the incident initially sparked fears of a hate crime, but Sgt. Corey Quinn said police are investigating the incident as an accident.

Four of the people hit in the parking lot of the mosque were treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, Quinn said, with seven others declining immediate medical care.

The driver, who was unhurt, was not cited, Quinn said. “It was not on purpose,” Quinn said. “It was one of those things that just happened.”

Here's a start:

July, 2006: Naveed Haq enters the Seattle Jewish Federation building and shoots 6, killing 1.

December 2005: Mohammed Taheri-azar, a Student at UNC-Chapel Hill runs down 9 fellow students in "the pit" with his SUV.

July 2002: Hesham Mohamed Hadayet shoots six people, killing two, at the el-al airline counter at LAX.


All were heavily discussed on FR and LGF when the stories broke.

You might add the (non) Muslim, (non) terorrist, "bombing suicide" outside the Oklahoma university stadium.

People that age are always crashing into post offices, medical centers and Social Security offices, etc. here in Florida, so I would seriously doubt that he had any intention of running into anybody. I have never mistaken the accelerator for the brake pedal in my entire life, but it seems to be a common error among some citizens in Florida (who I think should be subjected to serious yearly checks and not allowed to drive if they fail any of them).
