Idris Abdus-Salaam shoulda been put on a ventilator earlier.

Sudden jihad syndrome.

And people are worried about the virus. I’ll bet a lot of the muzzies are chomping at the bit to get back to killing.

Obambi / Biden will say don’t jump to conclusions, it was a workplace incident. Tennessee is right next to NC.

[IronJack]

Was his bacon too crisp?

I notice the pussy only attacked middle-aged women. Surely at a truck stop there was some burly rig wrangler he could have taken on to prove his courage to Allah.

I guess there were no crippled children to go nuts on.

[MayflowerMadam]

Whoa. We’re about a mile from a Pilot Travel Center just outside of Knoxville. But the location is on the other side of the city. We don’t hear about this stuff happening often.

Meanwhile, our Gov’t “intelligence agencies” and the dems and their media propagandists continue their 24/7 attempt to frame our president.
Our “intelligence community” monitors US, the Patriotic American citizen and continues to completely ignore all signs of subversion by outside influence in their suicidal quest for social and political correctness.
State authorities release violent criminals from prison to protect them from the Wuhan Virus while replacing them with arrested Americans taking a drive alone in their cars or, parked alone at the beach for violating state gov’t stay at home edicts.
The states implementing those insane policies are ALL totally controlled by Liberals. When this is over will the people of those Liberal states change? Not a chance.

angry black muslim

sorry for the redundancy

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Jeez, another jihadist maniac.

[freepersup]

Idris Abdus-Salaam

Am I to believe that this name is on an original birth certificate for this piece of dog Shiite?

Looks like a Fred Jackson specimen, if I was a betting man.

Follow all leads in degrees of separation, until every single stone is overturned.

This scumbag deserved a painful death.

A couple of eighteen wheelers tied to his arms and legs, and pulling in opposite directions is too good for this filth.

Islam-

A war plan,

supported by a political system,

masquerading as a religion.

Burn in hell Mohammedans!

[DesertRhino]

Three nice hardworking American women, murdered by another God damned islamic import. Thanks again W Bush. Thanks again Obutthole. Thanks again Hillary and Facebook for your idiotic Arab Spring. Thanks again GOPe Cheap labor express.

Seeing those sweet ladies photos against his typical content look on his face makes me so damned angry.

One Muslim Black Guy in five minutes killed 3/4 as many retail employees as the Chinese CoronaVirus has in a month and THAT was the was top story on all three networks tonight.

Nothing to see here, move along. The IG said hospitals didn’t have equipment 3 weeks ago.

[just Grace]

Let me guess? Three died of Covid19.

[umgud]

I’m guessing the victims weren’t wearing burkas.

[LegendHasIt]

So, four more deaths for the media to add to the Corona Virus tallies, huh?

[SuperLuminal]

Idris Abdus-Salaam

"Alleged" human being...

Like every other follower of Islam, the pit bulls of society needing to be put down...

[Eagles6]

Prayers for the victims and their loved ones.

blacks and mslims scream all the time about being the victims of racism yet the vast majority of racial and relgious violence is committed by blacks and muslims against Whites and Christians.

[boycott]

Goodness. Prayers for the innocent’s families.

We really don’t need the rats here. Thankfully Trump is trying to stop bringing all the 3rd world untamed animals to the USA.

He’s a left over obama pos.

One could wonder why there has been no outbreak of SCS: Sudden Crusade Syndrome.
