Sources: NYPD Hatchet Attacker May Have Been ISIS Supporter

[scarystuffyo]

Law enforcement sources we spoke with identified Zale Thompson as the armed man who charged at a group of NYPD uniformed police assembled on a street corner in Jamaica, Queens, at around 2 p.m. today. The 32-year-old Muslim, who lived in Queens, struck one of the officers in the back of the head with his hatchet and gashed another on the arm, the police said



“If you’re looking for ‘perfect’ Muslims who never make any mistakes in their Jihad, then you will be looking in vain! If the Zionists and the Crusaders had never invaded and colonized the Islamic lands after WW1, then there would be no need for Jihad! Which is better, to sit around and do nothing, or to Jihad fisabeelallah!”

1. Careful!!!

You're going to be accused of fomenting fear by posting this thread.
Personally, it might very well have been, but we should know soon enough.

3. I think this ISIS business is highlighting our mental health crisis.

Scarcity of treatment, provocation by our media, etc.

4. If it helps highlight the sad state of our mental health system,

then that's got to be something.
