This Muslim extremist has a history and he walks earlier.
How may others are out there walking free?

According to FOX News

A Muslim convert accused of fatally shooting an Army private and wounding another had previously been arrested on a weapons charge in Tennessee, but that charge eventually was dropped.

Police say Abdulhakim Muhammad, then known as Carlos Bledsoe, was arrested in February 2004 after a traffic stop in Nashville.

He was found with an SKS rifle inside in the car, with five rounds in a clip and one round in the rifle’s chamber. Officers also found a sawed-off shotgun and another shotgun inside the car, as well as an ounce of marijuana, a switchblade knife and two shotgun shells on Muhammad

Muhammad is accused of killing Army Pvt. William Andrew Long and wounding Pvt. Quinton I. Ezeagwula in a shooting Monday at a Little Rock recruiting center. After the attack, police confiscated from Muhammad’s truck an SKS rifle believed to be used in the shootings.

Muhammad faced weapons and drug charges after the arrest, though court records show prosecutors filed only a single misdemeanor charge against him. That charge was dismissed four months later.

Material seized from Muhammad’s truck and apartment this week included guns, ammunition and Molotov cocktails.

An FBI-Homeland Security intelligence assessment document obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday suggested Muhammad may have considered targeting other locations, including Jewish and Christian sites.

Must’ve been something wrong with the way the police handled the search or something for a guy to get off with a sawed-off shotgun, and SKS, AND Drugs, down to a misdemeanor and then dropped altogether... Very strange. I wonder if there were any allegations by Bledsoe regarding the police’s behavior in the case. That’s the ONLY thing I can think of - illegal search or something.

At any rate at least the FBI is investigating mosques now. I wonder if they’ll ever get around to investigating the Mosque in Norman, Oklahoma (OKC Bombing related, OU Bombing related, 9/11 Hijackers related, etc...). I’m guessing that’s a “no”.

“Material seized from Muhammad’s truck and apartment this week included guns, ammunition and Molotov cocktails.”

The mention of Molotov cocktails caught my eye. Check out this incident in West Memphis, AR, earlier this week concerning a crate of Molotov cocktails found in the street:

Felon in possession, and they only charge him with a misdemeanor, and then dismiss the charges.

But if I put the wrong attachment on *my* SKS, it's a felony?

Thanks for nothing you a$$holes.

(Actually it doesn't apply to *my* SKS, since it was imported to the United States prior to November 30, 1990, but you get the point. )
