[jusplay4fun]

His "sister"? You misunderstood. This person is NOT his biological sister.

Matthew DeSarno, FBI Dallas special agent in charge, said the hostage-taker was thought to have been "singularly focused on one issue....

Aafia Siddiqui was found guilty in 2010 of two counts of attempted murder for trying to kill Americans while she was detained in Afghanistan.

Three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the situation said the man told authorities he wanted the release of Aafia Siddiqui from federal prison. They also said the hostage-taker had the rabbi in Colleyville call a rabbi in New York City to say he was being held hostage and that the man wanted his “sister” Siddiqui freed.

Siddiqui, 49, was convicted by a federal jury in 2010 of attempting to kill U.S. officers in Afghanistan and is currently being held at FMC Carswell, a federal prison in Fort Worth.

New York City Police Department counterterrorism teams were seen Saturday at the synagogue connected to the New York rabbi who received the call.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has advocated for Siddiqui’s release and claimed she is innocent, said Siddiqui’s brother was not the hostage-taker in the synagogue.

John Floyd, board chair of CAIR Houston and longtime legal counsel for Siddiqui’s brother, said in a statement that his client is not responsible for the situation, is not near Dallas-Fort Worth and that the hostage-taker has nothing to do with Siddiqui.

“We want the assailant to know that his actions are wicked and directly undermine those of us who are seeking justice for Dr. Aafia,” Floyd said in a statement.

As I said when I posted this story, the MADNESS continues. It seems that ralf wants to discuss this, or at least present some ideas on the matter. I question his grasp of the facts in this case.

The madness continues, involving another terrorist:

FBI identifies British national as suspect who took hostages at Colleyville, Texas, synagogue

The FBI identified the suspect who took four people hostage Saturday at a Colleyville, Texas, synagogue as Malik Faisal Akram, 44. Authorities said Saturday night that Akram had died, while all four hostages made it out alive.

Akram was a British citizen, the FBI said. He arrived in the U.S. two weeks prior to his death via New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, a federal law enforcement source told CBS News.

British police said late Sunday that the counter terrorism unit arrested two teenagers in South Manchester in relation to the Colleyville incident. They remained in custody for questioning as of Sunday night.

Two U.S. officials told CBS News that Akram did not appear on any U.S. terror watch lists, although they are still looking and working on name differentiations. The FBI is investigating if he had any help in the U.S.

Officials are also assessing the suspect's mental health.

Authorities did not initially reveal a specific motive, but FBI Dallas special agent in charge Matthew DeSarno said Saturday night that the FBI believed the hostage-taker was "singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community." The FBI on Sunday said in a statement that throughout the negotiations, Akram "spoke repeatedly about a convicted terrorist who is serving an 86-year prison sentence in the United States on terrorism charges."

A source close to the incident had previously told CBS News that law enforcement believe the hostage-taker had asked for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani woman serving an 86-year sentence in federal prison for trying to kill U.S. officers in Afghanistan.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan called the incident an "act of terrorism" and an "act of antisemitism" in an interview on "Face the Nation" Sunday morning.

Time to heat things up in the cold of winter. Again, note that I am not accusing ALL (or even most) Muslims of crimes, violence, or even hate. I personally know many good and peaceful Muslims who want good things for themselves and their families. I am pointing out acts of terrorism by a FEW Muslim EXTREMISTS. These extremists are never acknowledged, much less criticized or even condemned by ralf (or to use vaxi's term, BTR). This guy is another Muslim terrorist. THAT connection is apparently the point that ralf missed or ignored.

In a barely coherent rant, thick with four-letter expletives, Akram rails against Jews and US military actions in the Middle East.

He repeatedly calls for convicted Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, imprisoned in nearby Fort Worth, to be released. She is serving an 86-year prison sentence over attempts to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan.

Akram also tells his brother: "I've prayed to Allah for two years for this."

(....)

He is thought to have arrived in the US via New York's JFK International Airport two weeks prior to the siege, according to police sources, and is believed to have bought weapons used in the incident "on the street" after his arrival.

Akram's brother Gulbar has apologised to the victims, and has said his brother was suffering from mental health issues.

(...)

US President Joe Biden described the hostage-taking as "an act of terror", while UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss called it "anti-Semitism" - a view echoed by the Muslim Council of Britain which expressed its solidarity with the Jewish community.

Greater Manchester Police said the pair who were arrested on Thursday remained in custody for questioning.

JUST getting ralf to JUMP..!...

ralf ignored and/or fails to see the connection with this "act of terror" and the attack in Norway. And

...because ralf again fails to denounce MUSLIM EXTREMISTS and Muslim Terrorists. I gave him another chance and he again fails to do so.

So I poke smallsoftralf, one time, here in this thread. So one time does not make me a troll. Like I said, look who is calling the kettle black. The racist ralf is always trolling and trying to spread his hate of things Western.

And I deny AGAIN that I have Islamophobia. On the other hand, ralf is anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-US, anti-UK, anti-West,
anti-French, pro-Muslim, pro-Muslim terrorist, and pro-Palestine.

ralf continues to bite the hand that feeds him.

Another senseless killing:

U.S. CRIME2 VIRGINIA CAMPUS POLICE OFFICERS KILLED AFTER RESPONDING TO SUSPICIOUS PERSON
2 Virginia Campus Police Officers Killed After Responding to Suspicious Person

(BRIDGEWATER, Va.) — A gunman shot and killed two campus officers at a private college Tuesday, prompting a protracted campus lockdown and search before the suspect was apprehended, state police and school officials said.

The lockdown began in the early afternoon when Bridgewater College officials sent out a tweet in warning students and faculty about a shooter on campus.

The college sent out a follow-up tweet about 2 p.m. saying police had apprehended a suspect after searching the campus but that students should continue sheltering in place.

(...)

“Two members of the Bridgewater College family were senselessly and violently taken from us. The sadness is palpable. Words are not adequate, not nearly so, to express the grief, sadness, fear and — justifiably — the anger we all feel,” Bushman added.

https://time.com/6144237/2-virginia-campus-police-officers-killed-after-responding-to-suspicious-person/

The suspect made his first court appearance Wednesday via video conference for an arraignment in Harrisonburg/Rockingham General District Court. His attorney requested that Campbell undergo a mental health evaluation, WHSV reported. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 16 at 1 p.m.

Horror on Oslo Pride day as gunman goes on deadly rampage at gay bar

OSLO, June 25 (Reuters) - Terrified revellers at a gay bar in Oslo hid in a basement and desperately called loved ones as a gunman went on the rampage, killing two people and injuring 21 on the day the city was due to celebrate its annual Pride parade.

Authorities said the suspect, a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen of Iranian origin, was believed to be a radicalised Islamist with a history of mental illness who had been known to intelligence services since 2015

The attacker was white and probably American, so this is another American mass shooting.

Sadly, another act of violence and one that seems to be very senseless, except due the rage and hate of the shooter, based on what little is known to this point. The USA is not the only nation dealing with these incidents, but we have TOO MANY and much TOO OFTEN. The shooter is described as Danish and NOT a Foreigner; please see the quote and source, below:

Denmark in shock as gunman kills three at Copenhagen shopping mall

COPENHAGEN, July 3 (Reuters) - Three people were killed and several more were woundedin a shooting at a shopping centre in Copenhagen on Sunday, Danish police said, adding they had arrested a 22-year-old Danish man and charged him with manslaughter.

(...)

The shooter had killed a man in his forties and two "young people", a man and a woman, Thomassen said. Several more were wounded, and among those were three in critical condition.

The investigation so far did not point towards a racist motive or otherwise, but this could change, he said.

(...)

The attack follows a deadly shooting in neighbouring Norway last week, in which two people were killed by a lone shooter in the capital Oslo. read more

The terrorist threat against Denmark is currently assessed to be "serious", with the biggest threat coming from "militant Islamism", according to the latest report from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service.

The threat to Denmark from right-wing extremists is considered at a "general" level, which means there is capability and/or intent and possibly planning.

Denmark last saw a militant attack in 2015, when two people were killed and six police officers wounded when a lone gunman shot and killed a man outside a culture centre hosting a debate on freedom of speech, and later killed a person outside a Jewish synagogue in central Copenhagen.

It appears that ralph still has his head stuck in the sand.

[jusplay4fun]

From the numbers, I'm guessing he didn't have the same type of weapon used at Uvalde and too many other places.

The article I already cited only said this about his weapon:

Copenhagen police said armed officers were sent to Field's mall in the capital late on Sunday afternoon after reports of a shooting, and had told people inside to stay put and await assistance. Local media footage showed groups of terrified shoppers running from the mall.

The suspect was apprehended at 5:48 p.m. local time (1548 GMT), carrying a rifle and ammunition. Police launched a massive search operation throughout the local Zealand region early Sunday evening in search of any accomplices.

[saxitoxin]

I double-checked my numbers, Denmark's population is 6 million and four people died. This would be the equivalent - adjusted for population - of 220 people dying in a single mass shooting in the U.S.

That's on top of there being 1939 burglaries per 100,000 people in Denmark as criminals control the streets and ride roughshod over the meek, disarmed sheep who populate the country (vs. 713 per 100,000 people in the U.S.).

Glad I don't live in Denmark. Sounds even worse than San Francisco.

Never let an inconvenient fact stop you from drawing a straight line from 'crime was committed + Muslims exist = the crime was ordered by the Quran' though.

NO, Wrong again, Ralph: I blame Muslims for TOO much salt on food and fries.

And, btw, I rarely get fries at McDonald's. But often enough to check the salt content.

Islam recommends Salt before and after each meal
Salt is one of the best foods you can take before and after meals, and the recommendation by the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) is very current and important. It is reported that the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) always used to have salt before and after meals, and he said that a person who does this act is protected from 70 types of diseases (curses), among which leprosy is the minor one. Islam made this calling because of the benefits of salt (sodium chloride) to the physiology and the human energy system, in particular when taken before and after meals, when it has the most merit during the digestion process.
Without salt we cannot live. Salt ensures the transmission of electrical nerve impulses to and from the brain and the contractions of the heart and other muscles. Salt is necessary to the flow of nutrients around the body and is vital to the digestion of food. This help in digestion is what we need during meals. Salt stimulates the sensory nerve endings on the tongue to prepare your system for digestion, and increases the rate of absorption.
Sodium is also a principal component of a person's internal environment, the extra-cellular fluid. Nutrients reach your body's cells through these fluids. Sodium facilitates many bodily functions including fluid volume and acid base balance. Sodium enables the transmission of nerve impulses around the body. It is an electrolyte, and like potassium, calcium and magnesium it regulates electrical charges moving in and out of cells in the body.
Chloride, too, is essential to good health and is a fundamental element in the digestion process. It preserves acid-base balance in the body. It aids potassium absorption. It supplies the essence of hydrochloric acid used in the stomach to help us to breakdown and digest the food we eat and controls the level of bacteria present in the stomach.

A case in point, the main reason why we have medical doctors and health-care professionals restraining the general community from consuming salt is that it may cause or exacerbate high blood pressure. Unfortunately, the problem is not in the Prophet's advice, but with the advancement in food processing and preserving technology, and we have too much salt content already in our processed and highly adulterated foods. Therefore, consuming extra salt would be harmful.
Second, the table salt lacks potassium and the companies concerned extract the important mineral and sell it as a supplement, so when people take too much table salt, it has the disadvantage to cause high blood pressure problems in a vulnerable person. The advice is to ingest pure sea salt that is balanced in sodium, potassium and other minerals, and to consume less preserved foods.
No matter what, the advice of the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) remains an important matter to all of humankind to maintain that electrical and chemical balance during and after meals. Because salt has so many electrical properties within the body, its role in balancing the ambient energy fields cannot be ignored. Improper food digestion will affect the energy of the person concerned.

Illinois has a Red Flag law, a waiting period for firearms purchase, does not allow anyone to possess a firearm who hasn't received a permit, bans ghost guns, bans handguns by people under age 21, has an extremely strict regimen for obtaining concealed weapons permits including a two-day training course, and numerous other restrictions. It is one of the most stringent gun control states in the USA.

Today, a person from Illinois, using a gun acquired in Illinois, shot dead six people in Illinois. Illinois has an overall homicide rate of 11.2 per 100,000.

A criminal can easily buy a gun on the Black Market (and in the same state) and there are no or very few background checks there. Criminals are NOT going to follow most or any gun laws, Federal, state, or local.

The mass shooting today in the northern suburb of Chicago was done by a legally purchased gun; that is how the Police traced the gun to its purchaser and now are looking for this guy/shooter.
