Michigan Man Remains in Custody After Entering Park With AK-47
Fox News.com ^ | 9/14/2007 | Fox News

Posted on 09/14/2007 9:55:33 PM PDT by Eagles6

A 26-year-old man accused of carrying an assault rifle in a Michigan park remained in custody Friday on a $1 million cash bond. Houssein Zorkot, of Dearborn, Mich., was arrested on Sept. 8 after witnesses called police to complain about a man with an AK-47, dark clothes and blackened face walking around a park. "We don't know exactly what his intent was or what he was intending on doing," Dearborn Police Chief Michael Celeski told FOXNews.com. Police responded to the scene and approached the vehicle Zorkot was driving. Zorkot attempted to flee and was not cooperative with police, Celeski said. "At one point, he was reaching to a lower area of the vehicle and the other officer at the scene was able to determine there was a weapon on the floorboard," Celeski said. Officers then took Zorkot into custody and charged him with one count of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, one count of possession of a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle and one count of felony firearm. If convicted on all three counts, Zorkot faces 9 years in jail. Zorkot was arraigned on Tuesday. A preliminary examination is scheduled for Sept. 21.

Hmmm, isn’t that a banned weapon? Well, I guess not since we let the assault weapon ban lapse. I’ll bet he had it during the ban though. Gun laws don’t work.

The arresting officer should be fired.

The INSTANT this clown reached for that weapon - he blew the chance to blow this wannabe Jihadist away...

Shame!
Now - Taxpayers will be on the hook for $35k per year housing the bastard in prison, after spending another $100K or more convicting his sorry ass.

Some folks NEED killin, and we should accommodate them.

Probably a dry-run to see how long a suspicious person with a rifle can wander around a public place without being stopped. You can bet his jihadist friends have a stopwatch and timed it to the second how long he was in the park. Probably they are planning Beslan-style attacks. If I am right, you will see more strange incidents like this.

Houssein Zorkot - "Well, officer, I was just going out plinking."

Arresting officer - "You're going plinking with an AK-47, dressed like that?"

Zorkot - "You know, officer, them tin cans can be awful mean if you just wound them."

We had the cop killing incident here in Miami on Thursday, and it was obvious while driving around that there was a serious mobilization of force. It occurred to me that this guy’s chances were zero - he was either motivated by an urge for a police assisted suicide, or just plain stupid. Sure enough, when police located him, well, he didn’t manage to survive. Contrast that with police in my former longtime home of Madison, Wisconsin, where they would have brought in counselors to help the poor chap overcome his bad childhood.

In this park instance - the guy should have left the park in a body bag, with a well ventilated skull.

Common FOX, call a spade a spade! How about “Michigan Jihadist remains in custody”?
DR. Doom was a Hezbollah activist who was about to start his own personal jihad in america?

Lame media... Phewwy!

Hey fok snooze, 59 Freepers, within minutes of the story being posted, googled ths 26 year old maaaaannnn, went to his website, and found he is a terrorist f--k. why don't you guys do that? Why don't you guys look at the website with which he is affiliated? Why don't you schmucks look at all the other lebanese jihadis on the website, and interview the owners/operators personally?

Who am I kidding, they think "lebanese" means Rosie O' Donnell, Margaret Cho, or Melissa Etheridge.

Anytime. This is an “old” story already. It was posted yesterday, so I had a chance to look a litle deeper, check out the Jihadi’s web site etc.

They guy shoud be in Gitmo.

He’s quite “pasonate” about his Hezbollah cause, and being a warrior in the hiddden Imam’s army that is going to sweep the world and kill us all.

Well, it isn't really old, since they haven't told us what they found on his machines and who he links to or even who he was targeting.

Remember, this is Dearbornistan, and they'll likely net a motherlode on area jihadists. He probably thought his doctor status protected him from suspicion.

You never know. He could have been helping Groundskeeper Carl Spackler hunt down that evil Gopher.

Just be glad Carl didn't let him have any of his plastic explosives.

One step more, they should all be inconvenienced with a deportation until the enemy has completely surrendered. We can prevent another 9-11 style attack and save Americans if we act now.

MuHAMmad, imam Ali, and imam Husain because no matter how rough the path, it is always the end result that matters.”

This verbiage is contained in the URL given below. One would think the law officials would consider this as a clue of the perts intent, would not one?

From the article: "If convicted on all three counts, Zorkot faces 9 years in jail. "

How handy to have all these laws against keeping and bearing arms. Without them, we would be forced to keep our enemies out of our country instead of subsidizing their educations.

I'm planning a shooting excursion with my brother in a few weeks on government controlled property. Other than the fact that we are of Irish descent, I am having trouble figuring out how we will avoid the long prison sentences.

Ain't that the truth!

Be careful. The national parks and forests are mostly dedicated to Mexican Drug cartels now. And they're well armed.
