    FBI Foils What Could've Been a Horrific Terror Attack in Houston By a Radical Jordanian (townhall.com)

    When the threat appeared imminent, the FBI had to move in on the only charge that could stick for now: weapons charges. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, was planning a massive terror attack targeting Jewish people in the Houston area. He had visited multiple gun ranges in the area and was trying to obtain instructions for bomb-making.

    How Abuayyash was able to get firearms is a detail that will be revealed in time, but yes—he shouldn’t have been able to purchase or possess any firearm on a non-immigrant visa. That paperwork expired in 2019, but he’s been allowed to remain on American soil on a work authorization order through 2024. He's also applied for asylum (via NY Post):

    It's too bad the FBI's resources are so strained having to monitor and foil the plans of domestic terrorists in red caps.

    Good.

    Maybe the threat of brown people accessing guns and killing people will effect change.

    Reminder if inmate P01135809 is re-elected he and maga will go after and at least try to weaken fbi.

    “Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the first to tweet her disapproval of the search posting on Twitter: "DEFUND THE FBI!"

    Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted
    . "We must destroy the FBI. We must save America."


    GOP wants the FBI to be destroyed and defunded after Trump search

    Make it partisan ?

    of course we’re happy.

    Because of the disdain maga followers have for the fbi which is a key protection to thwart these attacks.

    Cons are always criticizing immigrants for not assimilating…. Then here we have an immigrant who just wants to buy an AR15 and commit mass murder — just like real American — and it’s still not good enough for them….. geez….

    I don't waste my time giving out "off topics" but in this thread posts # 2,3,4,5, 7,8 &9 earned a big OFF TOPIC.


    Oh I'm sure the local village idiots will want to include post #10 too. Go right ahead fools rate my post off topic.

    Why are we not allowed to talk about gun control in this thread? Seems to be a major topic in every other thread about mass shooters

    I am guessing Jordan would be on Trump’s updated ban list. I’m all for restricting rights of Jordanians from entering the United States before restricting American rights in the United States.

    Seems faster to just click off topic as you read the post rather than go back through the thread and keep track of what we off topic and then type out the message
