Abdul Rahman Waziri was well known the US Special Forces in Afghanistan – he worked in\u00a0 the Mine Reduction Group protecting our guys\u00a0 from hidden explosives. He emigrated to the US and settled in Houston, TX, where he was gunned down in an apparent parking dispute on April 27th.<\/p>\n
\nBen Hoffman, a retired master sergeant who met Waziri in Afghanistan, where he was part of the National Mine Reduction Group, a unit of contractors who protected Green Berets from hidden explosives, called Waziri \u201ca striking figure and one of the kindest guys I\u2019ve ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt made me really mad that this guy, who fought for years to keep me and my buddies safe in the special operations community, to come to the United States and die in general was bad enough,\u201d Hoffman told Military Times, \u201cBut then in the way that it seems like it happened, and the lack of reaction there seems to have been from the authorities, it absolutely blows my mind.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video first reported by NBC News shows Waziri\u2019s Camry pulling into a parking area and putting on its blinkers. A black Kia sedan then pulls in, and an altercation ensues, largely obscured by a parking structure. The end of the video shows the alleged shooter calmly walking away.<\/p>\n
Omar Khawaja, a lawyer for Waziri\u2019s family who uncovered the surveillance video, also found a witness who then lived at the same apartment complex and provided police with a fuller accounting of what happened. The witness, he said, described Waziri walking to a mailbox to check his mail, and then returning to his car, where a confrontation ensues. The alleged shooter kicked Waziri\u2019s car, Khawaja said, and a physical altercation ensued. Then the man returned to his vehicle, according to the witness account, retrieved a gun, and returned to shoot Waziri with it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
That last sentence should be the key – the man had the ability to drive away, but instead went for a weapon, came back to Waziri’s car, and killed him. No Stand Your Ground or self-defense should apply in that case, right? But, the police haven’t even bothered to arrest him, despite saying the investigation is closed,\u00a0 and the Houston DA only says “it will go to a grand jury”.<\/p>\n
Khawaja cited Texas\u2019 laws protecting shootings allegedly in self-defense as a possible reason the killer was not arrested. But he also said the police decision to release the man, allowing him to roam free in the apartment complex, had a \u201cmajor chilling effect\u201d on witnesses.<\/p>\n
Hoffman described Waziri as over six feet tall and a muscular 225 pounds, but said he wasn\u2019t a brawler and didn\u2019t throw his weight around. Rather, he said, Waziri was humble, and always focused on accomplishing his mission.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like \u2026 [Waziri] and I were basically cut from the same cloth, like we were built to fight, but hated fighting because we wanted peace so much,\u201d Hoffman said.<\/p>\n
Led by another Army veteran, Thomas Kasza, about two dozen former Green Berets who\u2019d served with Afghans in the NMRG signed a letter to the Harris County District Attorney\u2019s office in May, demanding justice and answers.Military Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Houston DA is Sean Teare, another Soros purchase. Soros has done very well in Houston, having
purchased<\/del> aided both DAs in office since 2017. Teare defeated incumbent Kim Ogg last year by over 50 points amid allegations of personal feuds and poor performance. His office is already undergoing an audit for over 300 charging discrepancies uncovered by an intern (who somehow lost his job – ain’t it funny.) Boy, Soros can pick ’em. Meanwhile, Waziri’s killer is running around loose.<\/p>\nTip o’ the Hatlo Hat to Jeff LPH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
