The NYC terrorist had a pellet gun and a paintball gun. Good thing that in NYC he couldn't buy assault rifles, or the toll would be higher

#3 "It's time to put Islam into the same box as Carthage after the Third Punic War.
For the historically curious, look up the results of the Fourth Punic War.
QED

"Ceterum autem censeo Islam esse delendam." - Cicero Americanus

If you're not about that, don't bother me. You're not a serious person, you're a silly person.
On your own head be the consequences of that folly."

#5 Carrying fake guns. Reads like he was going for martyrdom status by getting shot during suicide by cop. He was an Uber driver for awhile. Don't you have to own a late model car and pass a background check? Where did he get the money for the late model car? He moved around quite a bit; Tampa, Ohio, NJ. He lived in a fairly nice building in Tampa. I'm thinking he had support. Schumer for one who put this damned diversity visa program in place.

#6 He landed in Cincinnati when he first came to America, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The driver identified by law enforcement officials in Tuesday's New York City terror attack registered a business and briefly lived in Greater Cincinnati.

A Symmes Township family from Uzbekistan watched the Tuesday news of the attack in New York City with disbelief.

The suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, 29, now of Tampa, Florida, had stayed with them for two weeks in 2010 in the family’s townhouse at Brisben Place in Symmes Township.

“He was really calm,” said Dilnoza Abdusamatova, who was a teenager when Saipov stayed at her parents' townhouse. “He always used to work. He wouldn’t go to parties or anything. He only used to come home and rest and leave and go back to work.”

Saipov’s father in Uzbekistan asked Rustam Iskhakov to house Saipov while he tried to get his green card, said Abdusamatova, one of Iskhakov’s children. A U.S. official confirmed to The Associated Press details of the family's account of Saipov's immigration.

He didn’t stay for long, Abdusamatova said. He moved out of their home after two weeks and moved to Florida shortly thereafter at the invitation of a friend, she said.

Abdusamatova doesn’t remember what he did for a living while here, but public records show Saipov registered a business at the Symmes Township address in 2011.

The family was shocked to learn Saipov had a business registered to their address. Ohio Secretary of State records show Saipov registered "Sayf Motors Inc." in May 2011. A 2013 marriage certificate obtained by the USA TODAY Network lists Saipov's occupation as "truck driver."

During his time in Fort Myers, Florida, several years ago, Saipov was "a very good person," an acquaintance, Kobiljon Matkarov, told The New York Times.

"He liked the U.S. He seemed very lucky, and all the time, he was happy and talking like everything is OK. He did not seem like a terrorist, but I did not know him from the inside," Matkarov said. He said Saipov later moved to New Jersey and began driving for Uber. San Francisco-based Uber said he started over six months ago.

So worked long hours, couch surfed for the first few years -- a person could save a tidy sum that way.

Listening to the television news as I type: He is talking to police, and shows no remorse. Searches for ISIS on his laptop, but no indications of actual communication, so they're calling him a lone wolf. A knife was found in the truck, along with the note about ISIS. He is in the FBI data base, but no indication he was problematic.

#7 PJMedia's Morning Brief is on the story, quoting the Business Insider as reporting that Mr. Saipov came here via the State Department's Diversity Visa Lottery, which brings in about 55,000 people a year, and since became a permanent resident, and links to a Fox News report that Mr. Saipov's mosque, the Omar Mosque in Paterson, N.J., has been under NYPD surveillance since 2005 because they suspect "budding terrorist conspiracies."

That last might be why the FBI has his name.

#8 The fake guns were presumably an attempt at suicide by cop; since it was unsuccessful we will now have to endure years of trials and discussion on how racist we are to assume he is a bad person.

#9 Every single time Brennan is trotted out to say something reliably anti-Trump, there should be a right wing journalist there to ask "Do you pray for muzzlims like Saipov five times a day?"

#10 Just finished listening to Cuomo's response to the terrorist attack where he attacked Trump and gun control, also defending Schumer's Diversity Visa program. Better also ban paint and BB guns.

#15 So what you're saying is that the NYPD deliberately shot an Muslim, a member of the victim class, who was essentially unarmed? Isn't that racist? /sarcasm

#16 Several Argentines and one Belgium killed. Only one New York City resident killed. The US is no longer a tourist safe place compaired to dangerous parts of the world as cockroach politicians are in lverdrive importing large numbers of people from the most violent areas of the world into this nation.

#17 Yeah, except that looks like a decent area and I don't think sukov was carding people before running them down.

Unless this was some international bike event and/or bikes were flying national flags.
