What we know about the suspected shooter in Dallas [called himself "Fahed Hassen" on Facebook]
Washington Post ^ | July 8, 2016 | Matt Zapotosky

The man who died in a confrontation with police after he carried out an attack that left five law enforcement officers in Dallas dead and several others wounded was an Army veteran and a reported “loner,” and he was found to have kept bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition and a personal journal of combat tactics in his home, according to police and records made public Friday.

Micah X. Johnson, 25, a reservist working in carpentry and masonry who deployed to Afghanistan once in 2013, was a former member of an Army engineering company and served in the Individual Ready Reserves at the time of his death, meaning he did not have to attend regular training or drills but was technically available to be called into service, according to the records. He seems to have lived in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb, although efforts by Washington Post reporters to reach family members were unsuccessful Friday afternoon. He had no criminal record, police said.

Johnson’s Facebook page, confirmed by a federal law enforcement official, shows Johnson chose as his primary picture an image of himself raising a single fist in the air, a symbol associated with the Black Power movement of the 1960s. He also posted a similar image of a fist with the text “Black Power.” The profile also contains a picture of him and Richard Griffin of the rap group Public Enemy — a point police noted in a statement about the case.

The suspect’s Facebook account included the following names and information: Fahed Hassen, Richard GRIFFIN aka Professor Griff, GRIFFIN embraces a radical form of Afrocentrism, and GRIFFIN wrote a book A Warriors Tapestry,” police wrote. They said others had told them Johnson was a “loner.”

It would appear that at best...he was in the Army reserves for maybe two years....before the deployment situation where they hustled him out of Afghanistan and giving him walking papers.

There are probably hundreds of five-year PFCs from the past couple of decades though....he’s just not one of them.

Yup. It’s hard to defend ourselves when the enemy has successfully infiltrated our White House/ congress/government, (plus media and educational establishments). All that Islamonazi money not only talks, it screams

Fahed Hassen

The success of ISIS is encouraging angry black nationalists in America in a big way. They identify with and seek to emulate them, even if they have no designs on officially converting to Islam.

The jihadis' creation of a caliphate using extreme violence is something about which American black nationalists are extremely envious. The latter have wanted to forge their own nation by wiping out their perceived enemies (whitey) for a long time now.

Well... like I said the idea of a jizya (infidel tax) may have them drooling. Suddenly they now have an answer to the reparations question. Not that greater black America would buy it, but they would consider themselves great heroes.

Their Islam would be semi-official... enough to get the 72 virgins vision.

Come on folks, don’t buy this nonsense. This is not a “mentally ill lone wolf,” there were multiple shooters. He was on the ground, there was at least one other shooter firing on the police from above, reported by the media as from the fourth floor of one of the buildings. One of the other shooters was captured by a SWAT team and taken into custody, according to the DPD’s information releases at the time.

Obama and the left are trying to rewrite the narrative.

People should be demanding to know where the other captured shooter is and where are the other black terrorists that were captured that night.

He was accused of stealing wowmen panties when stationed in Afghanistan.

Now it has emerged that in 2014, Johnson was sent home in disgrace from Afghanistan by the US military after a female soldier begged for protection from him. Another colleague has revealed how the killer used to ‘steal girls’ panties’.

Exactly.

Similar problems with dropping the reporting on the San Bernadino terrorist attack regarding the others who may have been involved.

Completely concur this is NOT the work of one man.
Early reports were police had "three people in custody who were not cooperating" and then suddenly down to the "lone wolf" who was killed via robot.
How sterile, how easy, how predictable, how convenient for the 0bama Administration.
