So, plenty of warnings online. They can decide who is engaging in "hate speech" but they couldn't clue the cops about this guy? Color me stone cold skeptical. OTOH, they are all in favor of "red flag laws" where almost anybody can tell a judge you are a dangerous person who needs his / her rights summarily taken away without due process. Got it...

Also this attacker was totally stupid in target selection. Each entrance has 6 armed feds standing behind a huge metal detecting apparatus larger than the ones at the airports. That allows for them plenty of protective cover to return fire immediately without having to retreat to cover. I am sure all 6 spayed his ass good.
In the video from the reporter caught in the action you here the responding cops trying to stop the guys leaks as he lay in the parking ĺot say, "There is another one?"

The half dozen armed guys at the doors running the metal detector machines are almost always 100% African American middle aged guys who probably never thought theyed get to shoot their guns. They are serious about making sure nothing gets past the medal detecting conveyors. A lot of people come through. IRS Customer Service, Social Security Customer Service, Federal Courts are in there and the US Marshal Servïce.
I am going to dread going back in there again. Those middle aged armed metal detector guys are going to be extra coky now that they finaĺly got to shoot someone.

[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali turbans killed eight Kenyan police with a roadside kaboom near the border between the two countries on Saturday, officials said, while another eight died in a bombing the same group carried out in the Somali capital.
Both attacks were claimed by Somali Islamist hard boys, who also kidnapped three Kenyan police reservists on Friday from the same area, in Wajir district in northeast Kenya.
Kenyan military forces have occupied part of southern Somalia along the border since 2011. The Kenyans, along with allied Somali militia, wrested control of the territory from al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... jihadists after a spate of kidnappings on Kenyan soil.
Al-Shabaab is fighting the weak, U.N.-backed Somali government and its international allies in a quest to impose strict Islamic law.
The vehicle that was hit by the roadside kaboom was carrying 11 coppers, police front man Charles Owino told Rooters. A local official said eight were killed.
"Eight bodies were found and taken to Wajir. Two were rescued, but they are at death's door," said Muhumed Ali Gedi, a member of the local community security team from Wajir who witnessed the rescue mission.
In Mogadishu, al-Shabaab detonated two bombs. Police said the first blast, at a busy junction known as K4, was a boom-mobile intercepted by security services that caused no casualties.
The other blast killed eight people and injured 16, said Abdikadir Abdirahman, the director of Aamin ambulance service.
Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabaab’s front man for military operations, said the group was responsible for the blast in Kenya and the two in Mogadishu.

[AnNahar] Thirty people were killed late Sunday in a triple suicide kaboom in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... , emergency services reported, in an attack bearing the hallmarks of the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... jihadist group.
Three bombers detonated their explosives outside a hall in Konduga, 38 kilometers (24 miles) from the Borno state capital Maiduguri, where football fans were watching a match on TV.
"The corpse count from the attack has so far increased to 30. We have over 40 people injured," Usman Kachalla, head of operations at the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), said on Monday.
An earlier toll from the blasts, the bloodiest in months, gave 17 dead and 17 maimed.
The attack happened around 9:00 pm (1800 GMT), Ali Hassan, the leader of a self-defence group in the town, said. The owner of hall prevented one of the bombers from entering the packed venue.
"There was a heated argument between the operator and the bomber who went kaboom!," Hassan said by phone.
Two other bombers who had mingled among the crowd at a tea stall nearby also detonated their boom jackets.
Hassan said most of the victims were from outside the soccer viewing center.
"Nine people went titzup, including the operator, and 48 were maimed," Hassan said.
Kachala said the high number of fatalities was because emergency responders had been unable to reach the site of the blast quickly. Nor were they equipped to deal with large numbers of maimed.
"Lack of an appropriate health facility to handle such huge emergency situation and the delay in obtaining security clearance to enable us deploy from Maiduguri in good time led to the high corpse count," he said.
Witnesses also said inadequate facilities and lack of drugs contributed to the high corpse count.
"The people that are currently dying is because of lack of hospital: because some have passed the night bleeding.... even the doctors are complaining that there is no drug," said witness Garba Abdullahi.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the attack bore the imprint of Boko Haram, which has led a decade-long campaign to establish a hardline Islamic state in northeast Nigeria.
The last suicide kaboom was in April this year when twojacket wallah'> exploding trollop female suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the garrison town of Monguno, killing a soldier and a vigilante and injuring another soldier.
Konduga has been repeatedly targeted by suicide bombers from a Boko Haram faction loyal to longtime leader Abubakar Shekau ... the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down ... The faction typically carries out suicide attacks against soft civilian targets such as mosques, markets and bus stations, often using young women and girls as bombers. The jihadists are believed to sneak into the town from the group's haven in nearby Sambisa forest.

Separately Iran said it was about to surpass the limit on uranium stockpiles it had accepted under the nuclear deal which Donald Trump quit Queerly enough, it is my understanding that the IAEA has not yet looked into the additional sites Israel gleaned from that archive warehouse Israel emptied just ahead of its Iranian guards. So the IAEA actually has no idea whatsoever whether Iran actually currently is below or above that limit, regardless what Iran might claim.

aftermath of alleged Iranian attack on tankers
Queerly enough, over on NPR they firmly believe that Iran dunnit in order to make real the threat to President Trump that if he doesn't back off his current course Iran will go after the ships traversing the gulf.
[Rudaw] Three Katyusha missiles have hit Taji Military Base, north of Baghdad, where US forces are stationed, Iraq's Security Media Cell has reported - the second such attack on a military base in four days. False flag, Herb?
"A short while ago, three Katyusha missiles fell on Camp Taji," Iraq’s Security Media Cell announced on Monday night.
Camp Taji, about 85 kilometers to the north of the capital Baghdad, hosts US military personnel.
Last Friday, three mortars hit Balad Air Base, which houses F-16 airplanes Iraq has purchased from the US, leading to fire in the dry brush around the camp.
Hoshyar Zebari, senior KDP official and former Iraqi Minister for Foreign Affairs, condemned the "alarming and risky" attacks.
"Rockets & mortars attack #Balad air base hosting Iraqi #F16US fighters, #American technicians & advisors. Today’s mortar attacks on #Taji base also with US & coalition advisors north #Baghdad is alarming & risky game by the perpetrators," Zebari said in a tweet on Monday night.
A May 19 Katyusha rocket struck Iraq’s Green Zone, missing the US embassy by just a mile.
The assailants of the attacks are unknown, but many Iran-affiliated Iraqi Shiite militias are currently active in Iraq and are thought to be responsible.
Good to know.
Tensions between US and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... continue to simmer following attacks on two ships, one Japanese-owned, the other Norwegian-operated, in the Gulf of Oman. The US has accused Iran of attacking the ships ‐ claims Iran have strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! Iraq has sought a de-escalation of tensions, repeatedly saying that it wishes to avoid being caught in the crossfire of a possible US-Iran conflict.
Camp Taji, northwest of Baghdad is one of four locations used by Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve during the war against ISIS. It is a center of training for the US-led coalition that has been fighting ISIS since 2014. Taji was an important center for US forces and an area where detainees were kept in the past. It is a large military complex, essential for training.

I’m just a simple little civilian housewife, Thimp Clusort2035. I’m afraid I have no idea what can and cannot be known in either environment — no doubt some of our considerably more experienced readers can explain it to both of us.
The other possibility, of course, is that they do know, but have no intention of sharing while they’re hunting. Loose lips, and all that. That's one reason we strongly discourage those who know non-open source things from sharing that kind of information in this wide open environment. So if those who know decide not to answer our curiosity, we’ll have to be understanding.

My dear, you know I am indeed a little civilian housewife (slightly less nearly 5’ than I used to be, darn it!) and I am absolutely dreadful without blatant clues like LOL or those cute little winky emoticons. The problem is that verbal subtleties fly over my head — sometimes literally. There was this party when I was in the early years of adulthood, the three tall gentlemen I happened to be conversing with, and the chair I had to stand on so that I wasn’t talking directly to their diaphragms...

These are unguided rockets. The katyusha, not a missile but a rocket, was always considered a nasty animal. The BM13 platform that fires it can be mounted on a number of truck chassis and is quite modular. Mount the 32 rocket artillery on a fast Isuzu-turbo diesel powered vehicle and equip four (or even 2) extensible stanchions, and you've got a mobile artillery that can send 16 M13 rockets flying within seconds, fold up and get to launch point 2 before the rockets hit.
The rockets themselves are hopelessly inaccurate, but in half dozens can still lay down tonnes of concentrated damage to areas. Weighing around 45 kilos, the rocket is fast and difficult to detect once in the air. The one tell is a singsong of the launch itself, and can be picked up by field acoustic sensors.
The rockets and launchers in question have got to be from Saddam's stockpiles because in the 2003 war these things were heavily used. The rag-heads have made several makeshift launchers for these rockets, including those featuring donkeys ☺, and one which involves four poor bastards holding a steel rail and one unlucky summbitch steadying the rocket itself as it's launched. But all they have to do afterward is hide or run away. Even though hitting anything is pure luck.
Since not many rockets were launched (only 3 were reported ) I think the launch vehicle could be some rag-head variant that allows limited launch capacity and very low signature.
Baghdad (IraqiNews) Iraqi Security Media Cell announced, on Monday, foiling a terrorist attack south of Baghdad, Alsumaria News reported on Monday.
Spokesperson for the cell, Yahia Rasul, said that forces from the National Security Services foiled the so-called "Ramadan Invasion", after dismantling a terrorist network, south of Baghdad.
Rasul added, in a statement obtained by Sumaria News that the National Security Service succeeded in foiling a terrorist attack. The so-called "Ramadan Invasion" was carried out by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group.
"During the military operation, security forces dismantled a terrorist network, which was deployed in the north, west and Sahara of southern Baghdad," Rasul explained.
It is noteworthy that security forces managed to apprehend all terrorists.

[Rudaw] A bomb went kaboom! in Qamishli, a city in Hasakah province in northeastern Syria, on Monday afternoon, according to Internal Security Forces of North and Northeastern Syria (NES), amid conflicting reports of injuries and human casualties.
"A car containing a sticky bomb detonated exactly at 1:47 PM today Monday afternoon, July 17, near the General Headquarters of Asayish Forces in Qamishli city. The damage was solely material, without registering any human losses," according to a statement from the Internal Security Forces media centre.
However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... earlier reports allege that the earth-shattering kaboom caused both material damage and human casualties.
Hawar News, media close to the ruling Kurdish authority in Rojava, reported that the bomb detonated at 1:30 PM, on the north side of the Sony Roundabout, in the centre of Qamishli.
"Some people" were maimed, and surrounding properties were "severely" damaged. A mine was also diffused near the area of the earth-shattering kaboom, the outlet added.
State news agency SANA reported that there were dead and injured civilians due to the bombing in the Qaddour Bek residential neighborhood in Qamishli, without providing details.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based war monitor, reported that a van driven by a jacket wallah attempted to break into the General Headquarters of the Asayesh (security) Forces in the Sony Roundabout in Qamishli.
The van, failing to break into the headquarters, exploded outside, injuring 7 civilians including women and kiddies.
Qamishli is under the control of the local Kurdish led administration, and is considered the capital of the self-declared autonomous NES region.
Kurdish-held areas of northeast Syria have been hit by a spate of bombings in recent months, many claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group.
IS has vowed to carry out Dire Revenge attacks for the six-month offensive by Kurdish-led forces that culminated in March in the jihadists' ouster from their last bastion in Syria.
IS fighters retain a presence in Syria's vast Badia desert and various other hideouts, and still claim deadly attacks in territory held by the Syrian Democratic Forces.
According to the Observatory, hundreds of SDF members have been killed in attacks believed to have been carried out by IS sleeper cells since August.

I'm sure Allah is taking note of every sticky bomb that goes off in his name and kills infidels. Rewards will be given to the perps in the afterlife because Allah always keeps his promises.
(IraqiNews) 12 non-combatants were killed in a rocket shelling conducted by a jihadi group on a village in the Syrian province of Aleppo, SANA reported on Monday.
The Syrian Arab News Agency reported that gunnies from a Jihadi group carried out a rocket attack on the residential area in Wadehi Village, in the southern countryside of Aleppo.
The shelling resulted in the killing of 12 civilians, in addition to injuring 15 others with serious injuries, SANA added. The corpse count included five children.
Furthermore, it explained that Jihadist group targeted the village, without mentioning that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (formally Nusra Front) is one of these groups.
SANA also published photos of the injured people in one of the hospitals, including a child, with bandages on his face and stomach, and another one with shrapnel on his right leg.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is controlling large parts of Idlib and parts of the provinces of Hama, Aleppo and neighboring Latakia. Other less powerful Islamist factions are also deployed in the region. This region is also witnessing a military escalation since April 2019.

Iran denies having any role.
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, said on Monday: "One of the most complicated CIA cyber espionage networks that had an important role in the CIA’s operations in different countries was exposed by the Iranian intelligence agencies a while ago and was dismantled."
"We shared the information about the exposed network with our allies that led to the identification and arrest of CIA intelligence agents," Shamkhani was quoted as saying by the state broadcaster IRIB.

[AnNahar] The Internal Security Forces said in a statement on Monday that its agents arrested two Syrian suspects for having links to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

"As part of preventive security operations carried out by the ISF Information Division in monitoring the activities of terrorist cells, especially those associated with the IS terrorist group, the Division has been able to monitor and identify a resident of south Leb who spreads the ideology of the organization on social media and recruits people for its benefit," said the statement.
The suspect was identified as Z.M. a Syrian living in the Lebanese southern town of Yater, said the statement.
He confessed during investigation to having links to the IS and to having promoted its ideology through a number of online channels and applications.
He said he had links to individuals outside Leb who assisted him in the creation of social networking sites promoting the ideology of the organization.
After a video released of IS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart... praising the kabooms in Sri Lanka, the suspect said he got a spray can and clandestinely at night sprayed slogans on a wall at the entrance of Yater that said "Grandson of Abu Bakr Baghdadi," and "Islmaic State" at the bottom.
With his partners, he discussed the idea of simulating the Sri Lankan attacks in Leb and targeting churches, hussainia in shiite towns and villages in south Leb including attacks at churches and killing the largest number of worshippers, said the statement.
He said he accessed websites of jihadis and downloaded links that filmed tutorials of how to make improvised bombs for reference.
He had contacts with another Syrian national identified as S.B. (arrested by ISF) whom he recruited for the purpose.
The Internal Security Forces (ISF) says they "tracked down and identified a man in southern Leb who actively publishes IS propaganda on social media networks and recruits new members" for the jihadist group.
The suspect, a 20-year-old Syrian national from the south Leb village of Yater, was in contact with people abroad who helped him set up social networking sites to disseminate IS propaganda, it says in a statement.
He also downloaded a manual compiled by followers of the jihadist group instructing readers on how to build explosives, the statement adds.
