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.”

I watched a lot of this live. We had the media cameras focusing on an open 4th floor window, and the police were saying some of the shots were coming from there. You could see one or more people moving around in there. Meanwhile, the shooter who was later killed was on the ground floor where he executed one officer and then fled. How could he be in two places at once???
And of course, all the police reports were saying there were multiple shooters “triangulating” on them. I assume what they meant was that one shooter would open fire, and then when the officer retreated he would be in the open field of fire of the other shooter. At one point, the police were saying there were at least 3 shooters.
Additionally, the police were saying they had one shooter in custody after a shootout with SWAT—a couple of hours before the police killed Johnson with the robo-bomb. This wasn’t just “reported hearsay,” it was in the information announcements the police were releasing. Seems hard to believe they could get something so fundamental wrong.
Also, listen to the gun shots. They are overlapping. Maybe the police were somehow firing back, but at that point it appeared they were just trying to shield themselves behind vehicles. At least in the photos/videos, you don’t see anyone shooting back.
How do the police/media reconcile this with the nonsense that is being spewn now?
Lone Gunman Theory in Dallas?
Public would never buy that!
Seriously though the murderer was part of the New Black Panther Party and a converted Muslim. They want the ‘lone nut’ out there to cut him away politically from Obama’s protected enemies within groups.
I watched the entire thing unfold too. Videos, etc. Then it was all scrapped and a new narrative came out. My husband aid to me “so all of it was wrong info” and I said nope.
I know there is bias but never really thought it would be this blatant.We’re screwed until someone buys a network that isn’t pro dem.
The masons don't use the scimitar and star logos because they think they look cool.
An Iraq-born member of ISIS was arrested in Mesquite in 2013
The attractiveness of a so called religion that allows you with out repercussion to kill anyone you deem nessesary, to take whatever you wish (women of any age) is THE lure
However, in New Spin: they all were the same guy moving from the red brick building, then crossing the street while passing through the officers firing from their cars to the concrete building where he fired from behind a pillar before moving to an upper floor. See how easy it is to move under fire and no one sees you doing it?
All other ‘players’ are being held in reserve for the next time they are needed to alter the news cycle. All that Clinton Charity cash has its uses you see ...
Maybe Private Johnson Faheed self identified as a panty raider?
Black panties matter!
Echos.
Lots of tall buildings.
Did the FBI have to hack his iPhone?
Hassen. That is the name we normally spell Hussein or hHassan. Being a transliteration from a language that has few sounds in comon with European languages the transliterations can be varied and numerous. This guy seems to have been a moslem convert or fancied himself one. Actually if he repeated Shaheed seriously to himself then he was indubitably a moslem and this was another chapter in the American Jihad.
I read the Army has 10k gang members they go in to learn combat.
“this is not terrorism” is this prezzy-dent’s answer to everything that happens on his watch.
The man was a dedicated warrior engaged in battle

It is much worse than you think. The coordination is global and here is a center for some of it:
Lobbyists and Politicians Beware: First Street Reveals Your Hidden Connections http://mashable.com/2011/11/18/first-street-politics-platform/
This is a point of Global coordination and if you look at the background of those behind it, you will truly be sobered. Some friends of mine have stated that some of their “connections” are CIA based.
At some point around ten years ago....in my time as a contractor for the Air Force....they (the AF leadership) suddenly got hyped up and realized that they had various gang groups now in existence. Every PR picture taken for the base newspaper was reviewed for gang-signs (as silly as it sounds). We had one junior airman in the office who was into sports and had a picture taken in some base sports event where she was in some pose....which they used for the newspaper. Three hours after the paper was handed out on a Friday....they had this gal in the commanders office...being asked about this gang-sign she gave. She just looked at them....having no idea what the heck they were talking about, and they had this listing of the common signs (probably twenty of them) and she’d accidentally given one of the ‘forbidden’ signs. They accepted her explanation. Afterwards, I was talking with her about it and we both kinda laughed. This is how crazy it is to be in the military and have all this stuff that you don’t know much about....but be affected by it.
Yup. IRR is where they park you when you’re done serving but still have a technical obligation for the rest of your 8- year commitment. Or where some reservists go if they can’t pull duty due to civilian obligations, and many return to the active reserves when their schedule permits.
Well, I will expect the FBI will have his back to clean him up.
In May 2014, during his deployment, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier, who sought a restraining order against him and said that he needed mental health counseling. After the Army initiated proceedings to dishonorably discharge him, Johnson, at the advice of his lawyer, waived his right to a hearing in exchange for a lesser charge. He was sent back to the U.S. with an Army recommendation of other than honorable discharge, considered by his lawyer to be a “highly unusual” decision. However, Johnson was instead honorably discharged in September 2014
