Sadly, No! » Headlines. How Do They Work?
OFFICIALS FOIL BOMB PLOT AT CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY- Somali Man Arrested
That headline tops a picture of smiling white Christians around a Christmas tree, followed immediately below by a picture of the dusky-hued perpetrator and a statement that the devilish Mooslim was eighteen minutes — EIGHTEEN MINUTES, I TELL YOU!! — from blowing up his car bomb and scattering innocent body parts all over Portland.
This predictably caused a frenzy of feces flinging by the howler monkeys that live in Hoft’s comment sections. The appropriately nymed “Male Silverback” sees this as a good reason to deport all Muslims. That’s nothing compared to the orthographically and grammatically challenged “Ginger” who writes, at least loosely speaking, this:
Watch the comings and goings at all mosque! I remember last year that it was reported that around 200 Somalia’s was seen crossing the Mexican boarder and they could not be found! It appears that the reason the boarders are NOT being protected is for this reason! We have a traitor among us! Are shall I say we have a whole lot of traitors among us! … The gutter stinch is getting stronger and stronger.Sounds like he is bringing his brown shirt muslim cousins over as fast as he can. He knows our soldiers WILL NOT follow his orders!
All you Sadlynauts can probably predict where we’re going here and what our Sadly, No! moment will be:
His arrest was part of a long-term undercover operation, during which Mohamud had been watched closely for months as his alleged bomb plot developed. The explosive device in the car was inert and the public was never in danger.
OMFG, we were eighteen minutes — EIGHTEEN MINUTES, I TELL YOU!!!! — from a Muslim trying to detonate a brick of Play-Doh.
I can’t comment on this story until I learn the liberal versus conservative percentage breakdown of the typical tree lighting crowd in Portland.
According to the FBI affidavit, the case began in August 2009 when Mohamud was in e-mail contact with an unindicted associate overseas who was believed to be involved in terrorist activities. In December 2009, while the unindicted associate was in a frontier province of Pakistan, Mohamud and the associate discussed the possibility of Mohamud traveling to Pakistan to participate in violent jihad.
