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.”

Not only Black Power BLM supporter but a Muslim to boot!
Not fog of the firefight!
Obfuscation to defend 0bama and his minions
This thread and several others yesterday said Johnson used the name Fahed Hassen.
But that is not what the article and previous reports have said.
The name — Fahed Hassn — was on Johnson’s Facebook page and so was the name Professor Griff [a.k.a., Richard Griffin].
It is a leap to say Johnson called himself Fahed Hassen, unless I am misreading the reports.
It seems one website ‘thought’ a Fahed Hassen of Denver resembled Johnson of Dallas and thus claimed them to be one in the same.
