QMC sends us a link to WECT6 which reports that Garrett Asher Grimsley, a former University of North Carolina Wilmington graduate student, was sentenced to 3 years probation for making terror threats on social media.

In a Feb. 19, 2017 public message on a messaging app, Grimsley stated “don’t go to Cary tomorrow.” Then, in a private message with a cooperating witness, Garrett used a derogatory term for non-Muslims, who he said “have spit in our faces and trampled our rights,” according to court documents.

“Say your dua (prayers), sleep, and watch the news tomorrow. It will only be the beginning, insha’Allah (God willing),” Garrett continued.

When law enforcement went to his apartment, they found an AK-47 rifle and several magazines with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. You know, as if he intended to make good on his threats.

From WRAL;

He was sentenced Jan. 9 to time served, getting credit for the 11 months he has spent in federal custody. In addition to his time on probation, he was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and perform 200 hours of community service.

Well, that ought to teach him /sarc.

According to The Blaze, former student and Ethiopian, Tnuza Hassan set eight fires on the Minnesota campus of St. Catherine University with the intention of causing massive damage and casualties;

Court documents allege the following:

“She said she had been a student at Saint Catherine’s but quit last fall because she and her family were planning to vacation in Ethiopia,” according to the Star-Tribune. “Hassan said she started the fires because she’s been reading about the U.S. military destroying schools in Iraq and Afghanistan and she felt that she should do exactly the same thing.’

“She said that her fire-starting was not as successful as she had wanted. She said the most successful fire she set was at Saint Mary’s [residence hall] where she set a couch on fire,” it added.

I guess that she and her parents came here to make the United States a sh!thole like her own country.

According to the report, 33 children and eight adults were at a day care at St. Mary’s when that fire was set. About 10 to 15 students were also evacuated from the building, according to the Star-Tribune.

No injuries were reported.

The judge set her bail at $100,000. Her lawyer’s defense is that she up until now, she’s never been arrested. Good luck with that one, counselor.

Thanks to Bobo for the link.

AW1Ed sends a link from Fox News which reports that Denis Cuspert, known as Deso Dogg, German rapper, has been killed Wednesday among his ISIS buddies in eastern Syria.

The SITE Intelligence Group said Cuspert’s death was announced by the Wafa Media Foundation, a pro-ISIS organization. Cuspert, who went by the name Abu Talha al-Almani, has been announced as dead in the past, but then has appeared in numerous ISIS propaganda videos, including one where he triumphantly hoisted the severed head of an infidel…In 2014, Cuspert seduced a turncoat translator who had been part of a Detroit-based FBI team that set out to track him down. Daniela Greene fell in love with her quarry online and left for the small northern Syrian city of al-Rai armed with an AK-47. She eventually left, returned to the U.S. and served two years in prison before her story got out.

Long before Cuspert became an ISIS leader, he was a petty criminal whose rap lyrics revealed a dark and twisted mind. The son of a Ghanian father who left Cuspert’s German mother, he recorded three albums for a Berlin-based gangsta rap label and scored a minor hit with “Willkommen in meiner Welt” (Welcome to my World) in 2010.

I hope that he can rest in pieces for eternity.

According to Reuters, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford claims that he still has hope that Pakistan can commit to the war against terror within their own borders;

The United States has long blamed militant safe-havens in Pakistan for prolonging the war in neighboring Afghanistan, giving insurgents, including from the Haqqani network, a place to plot attacks and rebuild their forces.

Still, Pakistan is a crucial gateway for U.S. military supplies destined for U.S. and other troops fighting a 16-year-old war in Afghanistan.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump’s administration, frustrated over Pakistan’s failure to do more to combat militants, announced a plan to suspend up to roughly $2 billion in U.S. security assistance.

That triggered outcry in Islamabad. Pakistan’s military said its army chief told U.S. General Joseph Votel, head of the U.S. military’s Central Command, that Pakistan “felt betrayed” by U.S. criticism.

Dunsford and Mattis are continuing to talk to the Pakistan military about their commitment.

Meanwhile, Stars & Stripes reports that the Afghan province of Logar has awarded President Trump a medal for his tough talk to Pakistan;

Community members from tribal leaders down to cobblers chipped in 45,000 afghanis, or about $650, to pay for the handcrafted gold medallion, which was presented to the U.S. Embassy on Saturday.

It carries an inscription in Dari, which reads: “For bravery, from the Afghan people to Donald Trump, president of the United States of America.”

The medal was awarded less than two weeks after Trump, in his first tweet of 2018, accused Islamabad of accepting $33 billion in aid since 2002, while giving “nothing but lies & deceit” in return. Days later, the White House said it would hold back $2 billion in military support until Islamabad did more to fight terrorism.

Taylor M. Wilson, a 26-year-old white supremacist from Nebraska tried to derail a train by engaging it’s emergency braking system on it’s route from California to Chicago on October 22nd. From the Omaha World-Herald;

When the train came to a stop, Amtrak staff searched it and found Wilson sitting in the engineer’s seat of the “follow engine,” playing with the controls.

He was behaving erratically, goaded staff with profanities and wrestled with them, sometimes reaching for his waistband.

“I’m the conductor, (expletive),” he said.

Amtrak workers held Wilson on the ground outside the train until a deputy from Furnas County arrived. The deputy handcuffed Wilson and while patting him down found a fully loaded .38 caliber handgun in Wilson’s front waistband along with a fully loaded “speedloader” in his front-left pocket. A speedloader enables rapid reloading of bullets.

Passengers on the train also pointed investigators to a backpack belonging to Wilson. The backpack contained three more loaded speedloaders, a box of .38 ammunition, a hammer, a fixed-blade knife, tin snips, scissors, a tape measure and a face mask similar to those used in construction.

A search of his home turned up some loaded rifle magazines, white supremacist literature and some ammunition in a hidden compartment of his refrigerator. His father surrendered 15 of his weapons to authorities, including a short-barreled rifle and a rifle converted to fully automatic.

Apparently, he attended the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August and a road rage incident was tracked back to him by his license plate number.

His lawyer requested a competency hearing soon after his arrest, but he was found to be competent, which I suppose is relative or subjective or something.

An acquaintance told someone that Wilson “has expressed an interest in ‘killing black people’ … especially during the protests in St. Louis.”
