GARLAND. Texas – It’s become a familiar refrain in the aftermath of a terrorist attack or the discovery of a jihadist cell. Elton Simpson, 31, was described by someone who knew him as a “very kind” religious man who “didn’t seem to be a threat to anybody.”

Yet Simpson, a convert to Islam, and his roommate, Nadir Soofi, armed with assault rifles and wearing body armor, intended to enter the Curtis Culwell Center northeast of Dallas on Sunday night and slaughter some 200 people inside attending the “Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” including this reporter, according to Garland Police Chief Joe Harn, who spoke to media Monday.

A police officer shot Simpson and Soofi on the street with his pistol after they jumped out of their car and began firing, and SWAT officers also opened fire, killing both men. A school district police officer, Bruce Joiner, was hit in the ankle but was released from the hospital Sunday night.

“We were able to stop those men before they were able to penetrate the area and attempt to shoot anyone else,” said Harn, who helped lead a security operation that included a SWAT team, barricades, a police tower and metal detectors at the entrance of the building.

The FBI Sunday night searched the north Phoenix home of Simpson, who was the subject of a 2010 terrorist investigation, skirted a no-fly list and had been well known to the bureau since 2007...

Jews and Christians with a pulse is offensive to Muslims. It reminds me of this picture...

I’m too poetic for my own good. (English is really rich in poetic words too.)

Well I hear rap from time to time in the digs where I live for now. The people are decent for the most part, but what kind of wicked devil devised these chants? If it were white people who were doing this, they’d be accused of hatred to surpass the KKK.

Islam is a death cult, they are a threat to everyone by definition.

Ah phooey - those two weren't ISIS, jihadis or anything else - a couple of manchild losers who watched too many jihadi vids on Youtube, convinced themselves they were OG and down with the struggle, ran out and bought a bunch of crap they had no idea how to use, drove right into a high security meatgrinder and got their asses handed to them in record time. Thus endeth the lesson for them. The lesson for the rest of us is these are the sort of mooks we have to be on the lookout and prepared for. Some other losers might someday, somewhere get a bright idea it'd be cool to crash a concert, game, restaurant or shopping center in similar violent fashion and citizens everywhere should be at the ready and have the wherewithal at hand to put an end to such a tantrum the same way it was dealt with in Garland.

...armed with assault rifles and wearing body armor...

There should be an immediate run on CZ-52 pistols such as America has never seen.

Travis, could you kindly repost your informative assessment of the CZ-52?

Reality.

Is “very kind” and “didn’t seem to be a threat to anybody” kind of like “He was just turning his life around” and “He was a good boy”?
