FBI calls Chattanooga shooter a homegrown violent extremist
AP/Chattanooga Times Free Press ^ | 7/22/15

The Chattanooga gunman who killed five U.S. troops acted alone without help from anyone else, and investigators are treating him as a "homegrown violent extremist," the FBI said Wednesday.

However, it is too early to determine whether Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was "radicalized" before the attacks at two military sites, said Ed Reinhold, the FBI's special agent in charge in Knoxville.

Officials did not clarify the difference between homegrown violent extremism and radicalization.

For the first time, officials provided a rough timeline of what happened at the second facility the 24-year-old attacked. Abdulazeez opened fire on the first facility, a recruiting office, from his rented, silver Mustang convertible and never got out. He then went to a joint Marine-Navy facility about 7 miles away.

The FBI thinks the rest of the nation is a bunch of crazies.

Hmmm, where have we heard that before.

Why didnt the FBI identify and investigate this guy before he had an outbreak of SJS? Why anent they spending their efforts to find the next guy before he happens?

“7 months in Jordan working on a great tan does not equal radicalization,” says the FBI.

The FBI went off my good guys list when:

1. that Chinese punk sniper shot Randy Weaver’s wife.

2. They allowed all those kids to get burned up in Waco.

He is an Islamic Terrorist.

He is clearly Islamic.

His actions were clearly Terroristic.

He is clearly motivated by Islamic Terror objectives and similar activities.

"Abdulazeez opened fire on the first facility, a recruiting office, from his rented, silver Mustang convertible and never got out. He then went to a joint Marine-Navy facility about 7 miles away."

It's apparent that he'd scoped out these places beforehand, and knew exactly where they were. If his motive was to kill people that day, he could have opened-fire anywhere, but he specifically chose recruiting offices. After shooting into one office, he deliberately drove 7 miles to shoot up yet another recruiting office. He had his targets already mapped out.

Call the FBI lily-livered PC cowards."

Don't forget that the FBI is also giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Do you think we could alert the FBI? They seem to unaware of the facts about Islam and terrorism.

...and I call the FBI another shameless, partisan, left-leaning DC bureaucracy who have abandoned any pretense of credibility, independence or purpose.

My grandfather filled out the same exact form in 1916. He'd come from Holland in 1913 with my grandmother, my father and my two uncles. In his case, he had to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity...etc., to Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands.

Did you notice on the forms that Immigration and Naturalization Services was under the U.S. Department of Labor back then?

On the Petition for Naturalization form, one of the things he had to attest to was that he spoke the English language. He also had to swear that he was "attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States.
