WASHINGTON — The nation’s top homeland security official urged shoppers on Sunday to be “particularly careful” in visiting the Mall of America, a sprawling shopping center outside Minneapolis, after it was targeted for a terrorist attack in a video posted by a radical Islamist group.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

Jehoddy Johnson. Heard him on FNS. He sounds like a tollybon/alkida apologist to me.

Actually I doubt it. These types are pretty cowardly. That’s why they always strike in areas where there won’t be instant retaliation. Notice they are not running around in GA yelling Aluha Akbar and shooting anybody. That’s because half the populace is carrying and will kill them back.

But we do.

We’re going to take back Mosul from ISIS some time in April, didn’t you know?

Then logically, round up all Somalis and ship them back to Mogadishu.

First threat out of the way.

Next.

"Homeland Security Chief Urges Caution After Threat to Mall of America"

....... Shouldn't DHS put this threat on the backburner and focus a lot more on all of the threats and attacks being perpetrated by those Nasty Right Wing Extremists?

How does one ‘be careful’ at a mall???
I can be careful not to ‘step on the cracks/break your mother’s back,’ and careful about lots of stuff, but how do I ‘be careful’ at a mall???

Don’t know about Edmonchuck, but we have an awful lot of Somalis in Calgary, 3 1/2 hours south of the WEM.

That is a woman named Stacie Schulz in a mans suit.

I’m sure we all feel so much more secure that this menagerie of homosexuals, communists, moslems , and illegal alien invasion supporters are on the job at DHS.

By all means keep the funding flowing, God forbid this essential crew of patriots be kept from keeping our Homeland secure!

It became impossible for Somalis to wire money back to their homeland the other day. The ‘merchant’ banks up and quit doing it.

I guess the agitation out of the Somali community is the reason for this warning.

Maybe not, but Obama seems to like to telegraph his military offensive and withdrawal tactics to the enemy.

Regardless, I wouldn't be stepping foot anywhere close the the Mall of America anytime soon. I predict their foot traffic and store profits will suffer because of this threat.

Mall of America bans CCW, and in Minnesota carrying is illegal if the establishment bans it. Yes, you can carry anyway, but you risk arrest if mall security finds out.
