Abdo came to Killeen because his lawyer, James M. Branum sent him there to take advantage of the hospitality of IVAW and the Under the Hood Cafe. Branum has been leaching off of the town and it&#8217;s residents for at least three years. Killeen and Fort Hood are Branum&#8217;s main focus of his anti-war operations against the Army and as long as the State of Texas allows him to practice law there, you&#8217;re always going to have a hotbed den of radical activists there who attract the Nasser Abdos of the world.<\/p>\n<p>As long as Killeen&#8217;s law enforcement community and leaders deny that they know why Abdo just happened to show up there, it will continue. Unless you tar and feather Branum and run him out of town on a rail, and then shutter that Under the Hood shit hole. As long as Killeen tolerates those asswipes, they won&#8217;t be safe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Nasser Abdo was arrested last week, some of the residents of Killeen, Texas are worried &hellip; <a title=\"Killeen residents worry that they&#8217;re a target\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=26035\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Killeen residents worry that they&#8217;re a target<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,84,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ivaw","category-military-issues","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26035\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
