The Terrorists Are Here …

Yes, the terrorists are here in America and the authorities are not going to do much it seems based on a recent report from Houston. After finding a spent rocket launcher (admittedly unarmed) and “Jihadist” writings, the end result was one man, Nabilaye I. Yansane, spending three days in jail.

The official line on this incident? Get this!

Prosecutors said there are no state charges for having the unarmed launcher or possessing Jihadist writings, unless they contain some type of threat.

Uh, HELLO! What kinds of RETARDS do we have running this show anyway? A “Jihadist” by definition is one that wants to kill infidels! That’s not a threat? Boy I feel safer knowing these yummybrains are on the case!

Time to arm up America. Get your guns ready because apparently our governments are not going to protect us so we have to protect ourselves. I think I’ll go clean my .308 and double check to make sure it is ready one more time.

Now, I know what some people are saying about this incident and that it is basically a non-incident because the launcher found was an AT-4 and it was already spent and thus worthless.  So I went to three separate sources (one current military and two ex-military) who know a thing or two about ordinance and weapons to find out the truth.  Since I am not in the business of giving terrorists ideas the specifics of what I found out will not be discussed.  However in general all three agreed that this is a serious incident due to certain things.

First, your average terrorist isn’t that bright and might not know that you cannot flat out “reload” these suckers.  All three agreed that this bozo might have been thinking that he could actually reload it. Does that make him less dangerous if so? None thought so.

Second, that while it cannot be reloaded to work as it originally did, the tube is designed to take the force of an explosion and a rocket launch thus making it possible that this “jihadist” would try to reload it with a different ordinance.

Third, that the tube could be repurposed into another weapon such as a bomb or other such explosive.  Apparently, gee – who would of thunk, these Islamic wackos are pretty good at scavenging and using equipment in ways other than it is intended. They are kind of like evil Boy Scouts who have been turned to the Dark Side in this respect. I was given several examples of how this could be done, but again since I am not in the business of giving terrorists ideas I will forgo further details.

Fourth, that it is highly likely that this could be a test to see how authorities would react to this incident upon finding such an item along with radical writtings and see if they would actually think it was anything important. If not? Well then terrorists now know to keep these things in a pre-repruposed state to avoid charges and further scrutiny.

Fifth, that the second “jihadist” writings were found this should have been treated much more seriously than it appears to be and that people poo pooing this incident because it was not an active launcher should actually think about what we know about how terrorists act.

Some people, I think, just don’t take terrorists seriously enough and are trying to convince others not to as well.  Their reasons are their own for doing this I suppose but when I have military people that I trust telling me that this is a big old red flag, I tend to take notice. No matter what the apologists may say. Sure it may be nothing. But all sorts of alarms are going off right now and this does need to be looked into more than what it appears to be.
