And now this: Shooting at military recruiting center; 1 dead, 1 wounded; suspect is anti-military Muslim convert
Scroll down for updates…meet the Muslim domestic terrorist suspect, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad…Where is Obama’s denunciation of the attack?
Holy crap: A shooting at an Arkansas Army recruiting center has left one recruiter dead and one wounded. Pray for the families, please:
One Army recruiter was killed Monday and a second was wounded in a shooting at a recruiting office, and a suspect was arrested, police said.
Police Lt. Terry Hastings said the recruiter was shot when a man in a black SUV opened fire on the office in west Little Rock at about 10:30 a.m.
The vehicle was stopped on Interstate 630 a short time later and a suspect was taken into custody. Hastings said the suspect pulled over and surrendered without incident.
Police said they found an assault rifle in the vehicle.
Hastings said he did not know whether the recruiting office was specifically targeted or was randomly chosen.
I wonder if the Justice Department will send marshals to beef up protection at recruiting centers — especially given the past targeting of military centers on campuses and elsewhere across the country.
Too early to say anything about suspect, motives, etc. But these facts are worth bearing in mind:

President Obama issued a statement yesterday after Tiller’s murder: “However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.”
I hope he will be just as vociferous in condemning heinous acts of violence against our military recruiters.

Meet Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad:
The shooting of two young soldiers, one fatally, outside the Army recruiting station on Rodney Parham about 10 a.m. this morning, has taken on a much broader dimension.
At an afternoon news conference, police said the man who’s suspected in the shooting did not know the victims but shot them because of “ideological reasons.” The suspect was described as a convert to Islam who specifically targeted soldiers for the attack.Police Chief Stuart Thomas said he didn’t appear to be part of a larger conspiracy and appeared to have acted alone.
“He has a disagreement with military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Thomas said.
Federal agencies are on the case.
The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, lived on Mara Lynn Drive. He was formerly known as Carlos Bledsoe and apparently moved to Little Rock from Memphis two to three months ago. He also had lived in Nashville, Tenn. recently.
Police identified the dead soldier as Pvt. William Long, 24, of Conway. Wounded was Pvt. Quentin Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville. He’s in serious condition, but isn’t believed to have life-threatening wounds.
ABC News says Muhammad traveled to Yemen using a Somali passport.

Passing in front of my crosshairs…
Probably had kin in Little Rock, but more than likely in Memphis.
Conveniently forgetting there have been 4 of these types of incidents in the last 20 years, by so-called Christians…and lgm, seems to ignore that fact that Christians do not murder…anyone. And should we mention that Muslims have murdered nearly 200 people just last week alone? How about the several hundred thousand murders in the last 20 years…all in the name of Islam…and condoned by Islam, often asked for by Mullahs.
The lefties moral equivlency is disgusting and this lgm character is a perfect example…..where is God’s name to these airheads come from????
Your memory is short and selective, LGM, you must not have been following the activities by Code Pink and related ilk at the USMC recruiting office at Berkeley…lack of police protection, preferential parking permits for the lefties to be made right on the site of the USMC facitlity-not a “safe” distance away as what would be demanded of anti-abortion protestors, vandalism…all of these concerns have benn repeat problems.
Yesterday in Pakistan, the radical religion of peace abducted 400+ school boys, some parents, and school staff.
Any word on any liberal blog?
How many of those people will be…are being…tortured, dismembered, or otherwise abused?
Any word from any liberal?
Sad fact is, if some muslim, bent on murder, cornered lgm in his classroom…would he devow his country, or poop his pants?
Both?
LOL jangar–together we made a joke.
look–lgm is a joke
Actually, I’ve always suspected ‘lgm’ is the proprietary name for random lefty talking point generating software installed by Michelle for illustration and discussion purposes.
He has a deep hatred for Christians, and explains the left to us. This is useful. A pet troll.
I see still no word from Obama on this. The only new listing on the white house press statement page is about Biden preping for a high speed rail meeting on the 3rd of June.
God forbid you look on the right side of your computer screen and see what the rest of us have seen for the last 8 years….errr…make that 40+ years…got to add the monstrosities who attacked me and some other soldiers in LA airport in April of 1971.

Your denial is worse than a junkie who can’t see his problem……
Whoever that poster is, I definitely do not think that it is the same individual that posted vapid, silly, teenage-girl type, almost winsome ramblings up until a few months ago.
I think the body-snatchers got this poster; or else this individual tried to do a get-tough personality makeover, took anabolic steroid shots, ate his spinach, etc…because for the past few months this individual’s posts have had a bit of a nasty (i.e., socialist, statist, collectivist) edge, or at least an attempt at one – which they had never had before.
I noticed this two and commented a month or two ago. I think more than one person uses that moniker.
lgm, are you really that big of an idiot???
wait, never mind?
Is that allowed here at MM.com?
I thought screen names had to be unique.
Or, does that poster share home basement computer time and the screen name with his mother and his friend(s)?
rags and leatherneck, my first thought was did this fine upstanding religious black man convert to islam in the traditional way, through prison gangs, or did he just decide from all the “cracker” remarks perpetrated by race pimps to travel to yemen and become a martyr for allah. my money is on the former, but anything is possible when talking about life’s mentally challenged.
I think anyone could log in if they know the password. Am I wrong MM?
I see that Obama is naming a GOP Congressman for Sec of Army. It will be interesting to see if Obama says anything about this then, will he be outclassed by the GOP Congressman who makes a statement or will neither of them remark on it.
Rags,
That post was the most accurate portrayal of what law enforcement is and the limits we should impose on it I have ever read.
The limits of the law are there for reasons.
Thanks
Agreed!
It is Congressman John McHugh from NY.
Obama did not say a word (though Fox News had it running on their ticker during Obama’s introduction of McHugh).
McHugh did not make mention of it either. How shameful is that that the new Sec of Army does not even bring up the tragedy.
Also check out what Obama has said about Iran’s nuclear ambition.
I believe His words also apply to those who break His law and commit murder, no matter how they may try to justify it. I don’t care what Tiller’s murderer called himself – and I especially don’t care what people like lgm call him. By his own willful act of murder he stands condemned in the eyes of God and in the eyes of those who believe in God’s law.
Attempts to draw moral equivalencies don’t cut it; sin is sin. Period. Discussion over.
Actually just look at this thread and you see lgm saying that they had it coming. He said “what goes around comes around.”
Didn’t you know that to the Canaanite or Vulgarian the killing of an abortion doctor is much worse than killing a Soldier?*
*No, I’m not advocating either.
Fox is reporting that the suspect may have been under domestic terrorism surveillance…
At least now you admit it. That you’re devoid of any actual intent to engage in serious conversation. First step in recovery is to admit you have a problem. The next step is the intervention. Then you get help.
I think that if you, Lgm, and all the other wonderful, enlightened liberals can look inside your perfect “souls” you might find that you’re a lot more damaged than you assert those you disagree with are.
Agreed.
Sorry, had to FIFY.
You are absolutely correct.
Those dangerous clowns in the above list are poster children for psychological projection on steroids.
lgm, Obama’s little Jew lapdog strikes again.
Hey, lgm, Obama says that Iran has a right to nuclear power. Sounds like a green light to hit Israel.
Happy to think of your fellow Jews wiped out? That makes you lower than the Muslim scum who will do it.
lgm represents why liberal thinking is so dangerous for America – he is and will always remain a putz.
When I was an AF recruiter back in the day, we were told no firearms even if we had a conceal carry permit because the station was considered a military reservation. Secretly, all recuiters were armed – we had to be…threats came from everywhere. It was bad enough then, but my prayers go out to recruiters even more so today since the jihadists are testing, testing our resolve. Obama’s silence tells me everything I believe about him is true, and he is lgm’s biggest fan.
granite said (#188):
It’s a response to vile posters like atheling (above).
Mister P said (#199):
You got the threads tangled. That one was about sex fantasies. This one is about murder.
Just so we are clear, you are ok with saying that women should be raped…
Yup, it’s A-OK with him. And he has the chutzpah to call me vile?
Nothing is more vile than a traitor Jew lapdog who supports an administration that will permit the annihilation of Israel.
Nothing.
Pamela Geller over at Atlas Shrugs.com says that they are nothing but kapos.
atheling; I love it when someone calls me a ‘zionist’. I say ‘thanks!’ At least they got the point.
Excuse me, but this type of bigotry has no place on this board. Stick a cork in it.
Atheling can well speak for himself.
However, my take is that, by wording things the way he has, he is focusing on the contempt that true-believing thug socialists have for foolish fellow travelers and enablers;
and the contempt that Muslims have for Dhimmis of all kinds;
in this instance for Jews; but, rest assured, they hold the rest of us in the samwe contempt – Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, etc.
I can’t believe I’m coming to lgm’s defense, but…..
Atheling – STFU, you ignorant bigot jackass. Your irrelevant, disgusting rants have no place in any debate. You are just showing what a stupid, shallow, moronic dumbass you really are.
Truesoldier said (#207):
I don’t think that’s what “hatef**k” means, and neither does MM.
But, just so we’re clear, I think the Playboy article is vile misogyny. I emailed them to register my disgust. I would support a boycott of Playboy.
I only wish people on this site, including MM herself, were as clear about things people here, and Presidential candidates, say about Democratic women — Janet Reno, Madeline Albright, Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, …
Re-read Atheling’s posts without the word “Jew.” There is nothing offensive there and lgm is a Jew by his own admission.
What do you find offensive?
“little Jew lapdog”.
Must you really ask why that is offensive? Good God. *sigh*
The use of the word kapo in conjuction with lgm refers to his support of polices that will get his fellow jews in Israel killed. A kapo was a concentration camp jewish collaberator who helped kill other jews in the death camps. I can see the corrolation.
Couple points of distinction:
This was NOT the “first terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11″
#1 it was a military, not civilian target
#2 this would forget the 13 people massacred at the NY immigration center in April.
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/04/muslim-group-claims-responsibility-for-binghamton-massacre.html
That said, I hope they deep-fry the bastard. A life prison term would require permanent solitary confinement, or just risk turning him into the same kind of recruiter that got to him, so we can start the whole process over again.
But kapo is okay with you?
How about Vichy?
I was surprised at the bluntness of Atheling’s comment, but offensive?
Some people misconstrue my comment about lgm.
I have Jewish friends, and I am very pro Israel.
I detest Jews like lgm, who I regard as nothing but lapdogs for the left, particularily Barack Obama.
This lapdog will betray his own people and promote their annihilation because of his asslicking support of his Muslim master.
Yes, lgm is Obama’s little Jew lapdog. And I say that with complete and unadulterated derision and contempt.
The way I see things inside these United States is as follows: War has come to our shores. The MS-13 types,(gangbangers of all kinds), warriors for allah the moon god, and our government selling out to special interests, are but part of a full court press to destroy American culture.
It is not to late to make war on our enemys. I do not mean individuals making war, but city and state governments that want to protect Americans.
The law enforcement laws we have were made before morality was destroyed. Without morality taught to our children, we will see this war on our culture increase. At what point does the individual American man of good character step forward and make war back on our enemys?
War is not just killing people, but to destroy the ability of groups to make war on these United States.
IndyRich:
Grow a pair. Your comprehension skills are quite lacking.
swb9999:
You too. Really, PC mushiness has destroyed your brain.
Pamela Geller (AtlasShrugs.com) calls them….Jewicidals…..Jews who are so left and disillusioned, they are blind to the danger Israel and the U.S. are in due to the PC crap and Islamofacist hatred of Jews and Americans (in particular American Jews). This lgm would last a nanosecond in the presence of those he constantly apologizes for……
Ms. Geller is right.
I guess PC nitwits like sbw and IndyRich believe that only Jews can call their traitorous co-religionists kapos and lapdogs. But if a non Jew says it, OMG!!!
Kind of like how blacks can call eachother the “N” word but if whitey says it, it’s WRONG.
Tough cookies. I call’em as I see’em too.
Reading comprehension must never have been one of your strong suits was it. In case you missed it on the post by MM this was towards the bottom:
Looks to me like MM DOES indeed consider this to be considered the writer of the article to be talking about rape. If you can not see it for what it is then you really need as much help as the writer of that disgusting article.
Thanks to IndyRich and sbw999. You prove that there are decent Americans on every side of any political issue.
Not everyone here is a worthless coward like sonofdy and atheling.
How can anyone who thinks like you do, LGM, consider themselves a “decent American”? A word of advice for you. From the Bible, God says, “A friend of Israel is a friend of mine. ” Read, understand, heed this. Obama’s obviously muslim-favoring suggestion for Israel to concede ANY part of the Gaza to two KNOWN terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah, makes him NOT a friend of Israel – and you just adore Obama, you putz!!
