We talked about Sergeant First Class<\/a> Ikaika Kang the other day when the feds announced his arrest. Details have been released in drips and drabs, but, what I’ve been wondering is, after Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood murderer and terrorist, how could the Army let Kang remain in service? According to the affidavit that resulted in his arrest, his behavior goes back to 2011, according to ABC News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The affidavit said that Kang has had a history making threatening statements, beginning in 2011, and that he was reprimanded on several occasions for threatening to hurt or kill other service members.<\/p>\n

In March of this year, he allegedly told someone that he had been conducting research on YouTube about “the most effective and painful ways people had been tortured,” the affidavit states.<\/p>\n

He told the same person that he was angry at a civilian who had taken away his air traffic controller’s license, and that he wanted to tie the man down, and pour Drano into his eyes, according to the affidavit. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He is reported to have communicated “that he now wanted to take his rifle, his magazines, and \u2018kill a bunch of people\u2019”. Kang bought a drone with a Go-Pro Camera that he’d planned to give to ISIS to help them fight US-supported warriors in Syria. He verbally supported ISIS’ goals while in uniform for years – but the Army waited until last August to refer him to the FBI.<\/p>\n

From the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The FBI affidavit charges that Kang tried to help Islamic State \u201cby providing both classified military documents, and other sensitive but unclassified military documents, to people he believed would pass the documents to ISIS. Kang did so with the intention that the documents would assist ISIS, including with fighting and military tactics. <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was reprimanded on several occasions for threatening to hurt or kill other service members, and for arguing pro-ISIS views while at work and on-post,\u201d according to the affidavit. \u201cDue to these remarks and threats, Kang\u2019s security clearance was revoked in 2012, but reinstated the following year after Kang complied with military requirements stemming from the investigation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess we got lucky that he was more mouth than actions, obviously, because he waited patiently for six years before the Feds arrested him after the Army knew he was a danger to others. He should have been ejected from the ranks years before. Anyone else would have been, well, if they weren’t a recent convert to Islam like Kang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
