#1 What's Ohio's take on concealed carry?

This son of Islam should have been taken down by a patron.

#2 An item which may or may not be of importance:

The owner of the restaurant is from Israel - the attacker asked the staff where the owner was from prior to the attack.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

I've been to this restaurant - good food - good people.

Let's file this in the "Inadvertently Funny" file - The local paper's website this morning said the police were still trying to "piece together' what happened.

No kidding.

#3 Alan - Ohio is very cool with CC as long as you have the proper license - painless to gain one also.

#4 Pretty sad when you go to stick up a resturant, yell 'Stick'em up!' and everyone raises up their cell phone to record the robbery...

#8 Super helpful when the cops are called on a machete attack and when they pull a car over the guy gets out with a machete in hand.

#9 The owner was a Christian Israeli originally from Nazareth, Israel. The Somali attacker's name, Mohammed. The investigators need time to come up with a politically correct statement regarding this hideous act by a preferred class of immigrants.

#10 Obviously he was denied a job at the place for being named Mohammed. Racist restaurant owner brought it on himself.

#12 According to The Times of Israel:

Four people were injured in the brutal attack Thursday evening at Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, a Mediterranean restaurant in Columbus. The victims were taken to an area hospital and were expected to recover.

The owner of the restaurant, Hany Baransi, is an Israeli Arab originally from Haifa, according to his daughter Rachel Joy Baransi.

Police said the man walked into the restaurant, which was crowded with patrons for a weekly musical performance, had a conversation with an employee and then left. He returned about a half hour later. Thatâs when police said he approached a man and a woman who were sitting just inside the door at a booth and started the attack.

Police said employees and patrons tried to get the man to stop.

âSome of the patrons there started throwing chairs at him just trying to get him out of there,â Weiner said.

The man eventually fled the scene in a white car and led police on a short chase. Officers forced the man off the road a few miles away and when he got out of his car police said they tried unsuccessfully to use a stun gun on him.

A daughter named Rachel does suggest the father is Christian rather than Muslim, as does naming the restaurant Nazareth.

#13 "Islam remains peaceful, not bloody,
Because, when we Muslims get naughty,
Mohammed, so ready
With gun or machete,
Was never a Muslim jihadi."

#14 I used to live there, Granville, loved Ohio, was a great place to raise my kids. Sometimes wish I were still there. Zero problems with CC when I was there.

Loved it.
