Good thing we were able to profile this young Muslim man before he could commit acts of terror.

Shouldn’t there be a Darwin award for people who make threats of violent jihad on Twitter?

I doubt Christopher Lee Cornell was born a Muslim. He took a Muslim “stage name” it appears, but there is no indication he converted to Islam.

Yes, good thing internet stuff like this gets watched, and a-holes like this get busted.

There is, he will get free room and board for a long time.

This was in response to an earlier story about how an ex rep thinks we should profile young Muslim men. Just how do you do that? What do they look like?

and in a couple of days i won’t be surprised to read how raheel was yet another perfect stooge for the national security state… and whatever plans he’d concocted – along with whatever ‘supplies’ he needed were provided courtesy of uncle scam.

If the Aurora, CO theater massacre were to have occurred today instead of back then, would it be proclaimed an “ISIS-style attack?”

My guess is no; the perp wasn’t a Muslim.

Agreed on that, you profile activity, etc. Did not know you were responding to something else. Maybe he/she is “ex” rep for a reason…

Based on previous prosecutions I won’t be surprised to find out that the FBI planted the seeds of anger, suggested the target, supplied the plans, supplied the materials, drove him to DC and validated his parking. These types of cases don’t keep us safe. Rather, they show the world how weak and terrified we really are.

He and the bartender can share a cell.

I wonder what torture victim in Gitmo gave up the guy’s name? Or, maybe they bombed someone in Syria with a drone and the name was found in the remains? I mean, it couldn’t possibly be good old fashioned law enforcement and detective work because Fox told me over and over that doesn’t work with this new kind of enemy.

Local WKRC TV reports Cornell’s father called him a “momma’s boy”. He doesn’t own a car or go out much and shares a room with his brother. The family is poor and can’t imagine where he got the money to buy the guns…

So how would you have the FBI respond when faced with something that was suggestive but not definitive? Say hovering a drone over the local synagogue in the course of a long and inexpert flight while foreign and brown?

Ask Coleen Rowley.

Simple. 3 steps.

  1. look at snow.
  2. Is person a shade or more darker? if so, profile.
  3. May not be mooslem but probably up to something shifty
    3b. Call George Zimmerman

Simple - if they look like either of these two Muslims, then they must be terrorists.

ISIS, Al Queda, GOP…all plotting against the government of the U.S.A.
