#17  The second shooter was identified as Nadir Soofi, a roommate of Simpson...obviously a lone wolf convert. Not previously named Nigel?

#16  It says there right on the label if the Jihadis would bother to read:

#15  LATEST: Both bad guys shot by a single traffic cop. Is he related to the mounted horse guy who made the 100+ yard shot in Austin last year? These Texas cops are obviously some skilled fellows, if even the support divisions are filled with such deadeyes.

#12  Classic comment from the link at #11.

Hell, Obama's cabinet (Department of Justice - F&F, Department of State - Benghazi, Department of Treasury - IRS, Department of Veteran Affairs - VA hospitals) cannot investigate themselves.
You truly expect them to investigate terrorists?


Oh wait, wrong domestic terrorists under FBI surveillance, sorry.

#11  â€˜Well known by FBI’: Suspect in Garland shooting ID’d as Elton Simpson; Update [LINK]

"Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there."

#7  You were told they're already here by the enemy. Watch this get buried by the ruling caste. Watch the hubba-hubba by Homeland intel failure.

#3  The group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, is considered an anti-Muslim group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is itself a hate group.

#1  Link is Los Angeles news. Local media, including reporters on the scene during the event indicate the shooters got out of their vehicles with backpacks on and possible AK47s firing first at a security guard in the parking lot of the event.

Possible explosives on the scene.

Garland Police Swat were on the scene ahead of time and cut down the assailants immediately.

Timing of the attack appeared to coincide with the end of the event in which many of the attendees would be in the parking lot where the attack took place. However, the event lasted longer than expected and was in the process of adjourning when Swat came in and blocked attendees from leaving the building.

They took Pamela Geller away immediately who then responded on her site Freedom of Speech is under attack.
