Off topic but related: Authorities recovered an undisclosed amount of the compound Tannerite from 64-year-old gunman Stephen Paddock’s home in Mesquite — and 50 pounds of the substance in his car parked at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino — where he slaughtered concertgoers from the 32nd floor Sunday night.
New York’s alleged ‘Chelsea bomber’ goes on trial Monday
By Ray Sanchez, CNN, October 7, 2017:
Story continues below advertisementNew York (CNN) The powerful explosion from a homemade bomb shook Manhattan’s bustling Chelsea neighborhood just days after the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The blast shattered windows, vaulted a steel dumpster more than 100 feet through the cool air and sent people running from packed restaurants and bars on a Saturday night in September of last year.At least 30 people were injured, many by shrapnel, in what authorities believe was Manhattan’s first jihadist terrorist attack since 9/11.On Monday, a little over two miles from the blast site, 29-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahimi will be tried on federal charges that include using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a public place. If convicted, he could face life in prison.Bomb similar to Boston Marathon devices
A jury will hear opening statements before Judge Richard Berman in US District Court in lower Manhattan.Prosecutors will try to show how jihadist ideology motivated Rahimi to set off bombs in Manhattan and New Jersey before he was wounded by police at the end of a furious manhunt.On top of the federal case, Rahimi faces charges in a separate New Jersey case, including the attempted murder of law enforcement officers stemming from a shootout that ended with his capture.Sabrina Shroff, an attorney for the Afghanistan-born US citizen, declined to comment on Friday.Rahimi allegedly detonated bombs the morning of September 17, 2016 near the start of a Marine Corps charity run in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and, later that night in the Chelsea neighborhood. There were no injuries in the first blast.An unexploded pressure cooker bomb — almost identical to the devices used in the Boston Marathon attacks three years earlier — was found several blocks from the Chelsea blast, according to a criminal complaint.The bomb set off on West 23rd Street in Chelsea was left in a heavy steel dumpster. It shattered windows some 400 feet away, the complaint said.

At least one victim was knocked unconscious while driving in his car near the bomb site. Another suffered a head injury when the blast hit the car she was traveling in.Rahimi was carrying a bloodied handwritten journal when he was taken into custody in New Jersey. The complaint said it included the line: “You (USA Government) continue your [unintelligible] slaught[er] against the mujahidean be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Sham [Syria], Palestine.”A largely unintelligible page in the journal refers to “pipe bombs” and a “pressure cooker bomb.”
The journal writer talks of seeking guidance for attacks on non-believers where they live, according to the complaint. “I looked for guidance and . . Guidance came Sheikh Anwar Said it clearly attack the Kuffar [non-believers] in their backyard.”A FBI agent in the complaint said he believes “Sheikh Anwar” refers to Anwar al-Awlaki, formerly a senior leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based designated foreign terrorist organization.The document includes laudatory references to al-Awlaki as well as to Nidal Hasan, who shot and killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, and “Brother Osama Bin Laden.”Investigators said Rahimi sought to spread terror across two states.On the night of September 18, 2016, a backpack containing five bombs was found in a wastebasket near a rail station in Elizabeth, New Jersey, about 16 miles from New York City.The federal complaint said Rahimi traveled to Manhattan from New Jersey about two hours before the Chelsea blast.A manhunt throughout the region ended on the morning of September 19, 2016, when Rahimi was wounded in a shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey. Two officers were wounded.Rahimi was captured after the owner of a Linden bar found him sleeping in the doorway of his business and called police.Rahimi first came to the United States in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen in 2011. He had been living with his family in New Jersey.

“On Monday, a little over two miles from the blast site, 29-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahimi will be tried on federal charges that include using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a public place. If convicted, he could face life in prison.” Life? Why not execution. This definitely sends the wrong signal to would be bombers that they can bomb any U.S. city, and all the worst they will get is “life.” Shameful.

Speaking of back yards, there was a video clip shown on TV newscasts yesterday showing this character detonating experimental devices in his yard at home. After the sentencing phase of his trial it will be quite some time before he ever breathes free air again.

The Paddock case is taking all kinds of twist and turns. Who really was this lone kitten? We know he liked ugly Filipinas, beyond that we can’t confirm anything.
Only he seemed to be a lone kitten and self-avowed ultimate worrier.

Since we already know that Muslims want to kill us, and that they will try to kill us, and that some of their attempts will have success, why don’t we kill them first? Kill them until there are no more Muslims in our countries. And we should kill them in the same ways that they kill us, including slow beheading with a knife. Let them taste their own medicine. Let them choke on it. And any media corporation that shields the crimes of Muslims from exposure, or invites sympathy to them in any way, will be regarded as enemies complicit and as legitimate military targets.

Heavens, another American muslim going on Jihad, it’s a good job I don’t believe in writing off the whole of American society and the country because of this latest example of the folly of allowing Muslims into the West.
Like in all Western tolerant liberal societies, the trouble seems to spring sometimes {and too often} from those who while not being “in power” in a formal government way, feel themselves morally empowered by virtue of their virtue signalling grandstanding to believe they ought to be. I’m thinking of the heads of our great Universities, media and others like popular entertainers. Immigration in the 21st century is unlike that during the 19th.
If my assertions are correct, those people have the time, money and profile to get their views known, but of course, they take no responsibility for outcomes do they?

Too bad that miserable waste of human trash was not killed during the shoot out…. that would have save the courts time and money. Hopefully he will piss someone off in prison and they will end his life and he can finally meet his filthy Allah, minus the non virgins….

I don’t ever remember hearing/reading/seeing anything about this muslum terrorist attack. I’m sure the enemedia just must have overlooked it.
