2 gunmen killed, guard shot outside Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas (New Info)
LA Times ^ | 5/3/15 | Matt Pearce

Two gunmen were killed and a security guard wounded in an attack outside a controversial Dallas-area event Sunday evening where organizers were holding a contest for cartoons featuring the Muslim prophet Muhammad, police said.

The shooting in Garland, a Texas suburb about 20 miles from Dallas, was preceded by messages from two social media accounts that supported extremist Islamic viewpoints.

One tweet, sent at 6:35 p.m., used the hashtag "#texasattack." The user wrote, “May Allah accept us as mujahideen.” Attendees inside the conference didn’t get word about the shooting until 6:50 p.m.

Two social media accounts tweeted messages about the attack apparently before it happened.

A Twitter account titled “Shariah is Light” – bearing the image of extremist Islamic propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in an American drone strike in Yemen in 2011 – tweeted an allusion to the attack just minutes before it happened.

“May Allah accept us as mujahideen [holy warriors],” the account tweeted.

Before the shooting, the “Shariah is Light” account also tweeted a command to follow another account, titled “AbuHussainAlBritani,” which also tweeted before and after the Texas shooting.

“The knives have been sharpened, soon we will come to your streets with death and slaughter!” tweeted the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account before the attack. That account’s avatar is a man in a mask pointing an assault rifle at the camera.

After the attack, the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account began tweeting praise of the Texas shooting, and linked the attack to the militant group Islamic State.

“Allahu Akbar!!!!! 2 of our brothers just opened fire at the ... art exhibition in texas!,” the account tweeted. “Kill Those That Insult The Prophet.”

“They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,” the account tweeted.

The 0bama regime will send a letter of praise tomorrow to their mosque, praising the good work it does.

See Oklahoma, that day the man beheaded that poor woman.

So it looks like the media strategy may be to ignore this.

Boston local news reported "2 men were shot last night at a contest to draw pictures of the prophet Mohammed, in Texas. A security guard was also shot."

That was pretty much it. Then on to weather.

“They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,”

I didn't see any pictures of the islamic terrorist involved, but based on the grammar, I will venture to guess that he was an obama-son, convert to the ROP.

“Kill Those That Insult The Prophet.”

Idiot. It's “Kill Those Who Insult The Prophet.”

There are five guns/rifles everybody should own.

You name three: shotgun, suppression rifle (AR-15) and handgun.

Add sniper rifle (deer hunting quality rifle) and .22 rifle (quieter, small game, universal ammo).

If SHTF ammo will be the new currency. Specifically .22 cal ammo. BLOAT.

That’s expanding on it a bit. The classic trifecta is still the bare minimum, IMHO.

"Garland’s mayor, said the city was not associated with the politics of the event. “It really doesn’t have anything to do with Garland or Texas,” he said. “It just happened to be in our city. We provided security to make sure everybody would be safe.”

good job there mayor!.....😳

They are over here by the thousands, and courtesy of the voters, soon to be over here by the millions. As of now, they are purposely laying low and keeping a low profile. Once the numbers of them hit the right number, they will strike, and strike often.

However, this is what a majority of those who voted want. Twice in succession, they had a choice to make and each time they said, via their votes, they wanted a muslim in the Office of the President. That wish was granted them. They got their muslim. Let them choke on the son of a bitch.

I join you in that wish, My FRiend. But reality says that isn't going to happen. One has to look no further back than the 2014 election. The voters elected individuals whom that thought and who promised to stop Obama's agenda. What happened? Once elected, the individuals did as they planned all along, as they pleased. And it pleased them to aid and abet Obama in furthering his agenda. To hell with what the voters want! The election is over! We fooled them this time and next time we will fool them again.

In their fight with England and to establish a Nation, the Forefathers pledger their sacred honor. The politician of today has no honor , sacred or pagan.

Oh I know the .22 is lethal. I do like to joke that its only fit for squirrels.

I heard there were metal detectors. AS a CHL holder if they denied me entry I would not have gone in and entrusted my care to others at an event of this nature.

I spent my entire drive to work screaming at the radio. CNN is doing its best to blame the potential VICTIMS of the terror attack in Garland TX for what happened. Carol Costello is disgraceful.
