SJS: Son Fatally Shoots Dad During Easter Service, Yells Killing Was 'Will Of Allah'
2013-04-02
That's Sudden Jihad Syndrome, of course.
Witnesses say the 25-year-old man accused of walking into an Ohio church and fatally shooting his father after an Easter service Sunday was yelling about God and Allah after the killing.

Police say Reshad Riddle walked into the Hiawatha Church of God in Christ in Ashtabula and killed his father, 52-year-old Richard Riddle, with a single shot from a handgun Sunday afternoon.

Adams said Reshad Riddle then continued into the church, still holding the gun, and yelled that the killing was "the will of Allah. This is the will of God."

Reshad Riddle was quickly subdued by officers, who arrived just moments after the shooting. They say he has been mostly cooperative.

#2  Good points, rjschwarz. Or he was a violent schizophrenic, which I didn't think of when I posted the article. My girlfriend's son walked upstairs one morning a few months ago, stabbed his grandmother (the female head of household, the usual object of murder in such cases) to death at the breakfast table, then sat quietly on the front porch waiting for the police to arrive because his mother had told him to do so.

#1  If I were to commit murder I'd probably yell Allah just to ensure the leftists supported me through my trial and in the years afterwards. Perhaps i'd write a book of poetry or a childrens book as well to boot. They'd probably make me an associate professor or something when I was finally released. Gotta plan these things out and work the obvious angles.

Not saying that's what Reshad did, but he did stop at just killing one which is sort of underachieving by muslim standards.
