Little Rock – Authorities have identified the soldier killed in Monday’s double-shooting outside a U.S Army recruitment office in west Little Rock.

Police say the incident occurred around 10:15 a.m. at a U.S. Army Navy Career Center inside the Ashley Square Shopping Center at 9112 North Rodney Parham Road. According to Lt. Terry Hastings with the Little Rock Police Department, two enlisted soldiers standing outside the office were hit when a suspect drove up in a black SUV and began shooting.
At a briefing Monday afternoon, Little Rock police chief Stuart Thomas identified the suspect as Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, of Little Rock. Thomas says Muhammad also goes by the name Carlos Bledsoe.

Didn’t see anything in the reports, but I’m guessing he’s a very nice guy, great neighbor and his Aunt, Grandma, Cousin and Sister’s-hairdresser’s electrician’s-wife’s hermaphrodite-nephew’s cat’s-psychologist will rally to his side in support with a march on the police station and blaming “the man” for all of Dear Carlos’ problems in life.
But gee…. I wonder where he got the idea to shoot up a US Military Recruiting Office ? Did the seed sown come from his S.U.V. ? After all, those things are evil you know.
Nothing to see here. Move on you lookie-looz.

Got facts to back that innuendo up or just making it up? Link, reputable news outlet, anything at all?

Tbone (Diary) Monday, June 1st at 10:57PM EST (link)Aviation experts said the risk the plane was brought down by lightning was slim.
“”Lightning issues have been considered since the beginning of aviation. They were far more prevalent when aircraft operated at low altitudes. They are less common now since it’s easier to avoid thunderstorms,” said Bill Voss, president and CEO of Flight Safety Foundation, Alexandria, Va.
He said planes have specific measures built in to help dissipate electricity along the aircraft’s skin.
“I cannot recall in recent history any examples of aircraft being brought down by lightning,” he told The Associated Press.”
The Airbus is fly by wire. It is over-designed to keep lightening from shorting out the controls. How long does it take to fall from 35,000 feet? What, you think the radios shorted out too? Dude, think instaneous, massive structural failure. or alien abduction. Take your pick.

“The Air France jet flew into storms and heavy turbulence four hours after taking off from Rio and 15 minutes later sent an automatic message reporting electrical faults, the airline said.
There was no sign that the crew had sent a mayday message or any indication that signal-emitting emergency locaters had activated on impact as is normally the case in crashes.
The company said a lightning strike could be to blame and that several of the mechanisms on the Airbus 330-200, which has a good safety record, had malfunctioned.”
So Spanky, facts might not fit what you are trying to sell, but knock yourself out.
All I know that 228 innocent people are probably dead and right now the French, the US and everyone in the aviation biz is trying to figure out why. I travel a fair amount on business, so it’s also of passing interest to me to find out what happened and get the problem gets fixed.

Hey Bunky, what does this sound like?
Tbone (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 10:51PM EST (link)“Brazil military search planes have found a three-mile path of debris in the Atlantic Ocean which reportedly prove that a missing Air France jet carrying 228 people crashed into the sea.
Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said Tuesday that the find “confirms that the plane went down in that area.”
Military pilots spotted two areas of floating debris about 35 miles apart”
Boom; bunch of debris. Five minutes later, impact 35 miles down range.
Still sound like a lightening strike shorted out the controls?

I heard about that new technology that directs the charge to the outer skin of the plane

Also grounding
SteveLA (Diary) Monday, June 1st at 11:30PM EST (link)Aircraft and avionics, especially the fly by wire types of control systems in use by Air Bus depend on good grounding.
Lighting strikes do happen all the time and the electrical grounds that give a path for the current to flow away from critical systems are vital for electronic gear to survive lighting strikes. The FAA and the French version of same will be all over this event and the folks at Toulouse will be very busy for a while coming up with a flight test program to validate what the analytical folks come up with.
End of thread jack as someone suggested.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Confirmed...... Army Recruiter Killer Abdulhakim Muhammad Trained In Yemen
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 5:13AM EST (link)http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=7730637
The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.
The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect’s travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.
============
Let me get this straight….. He’s a known quantity and already under investigation by The FBI ?
Preliminary stages or not,, one of the first things that should happen is a shadow, meaning there is the distinct possibility that this lowlife p.o.s. radical “American” was under direct surveillance by the agency.
It makes one wonder just what in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is going on.
Try him for treason, put him against a wall and pull the trigger, Any American citizen proven to help him goes too.
It's going to get worse before it gets better
molybdanthan (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:59PM EST (link)If it gets better. I think these islamofascists are here in large numbers, and not just recruiting in prisons. They’ve got vast sums of money, and political correctness shielding them from any type of scrutiny. This is just the opening salvo of a much larger terror campaign.
I was not surprised when the FBI caught those four Muslim converts who wanted to blow up Synagogues and bring down planes in New York. They were idiots. But now, two weeks later, we’re mourning soldiers in Arkansas. The WH and MSM will try to spin it as another isolated case. And I just heard the shooter plead ‘not guilty,’ so there’s going to be another showy trial to look forward to.
Michael Savage has been right all along. Investigate CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. See where its money comes from, and what it goes to. And check who its board of directors were talking to. If one call came from Iran, that’s big.
Someone has told me that fanatical Muslims won’t wear ties because they represent the decadent West. Bad news for the garment district, but fine by me. Helps to ID them. And, once we’ve got the evidence against them, I’d prefer to see thick rope going around those necks, not silk.
2 things Kenny..
antisocial (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 11:47PM EST (link)How did FBI allow him to get this far?
He needs to be interrogated for what exactly he did in Yemen on a Somali Passport. Once info is obtained he should be executed and any trainers/gurus/accomplices hunted down.

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 11:58PM EST (link)……..then send him to me. I want to show him some things about the proper way to handle firearms.
Lesson 1: This is not the way to do things. Oops. Sorry.
————-
As far as The Agency goes…… If they had him officially under a watch or actual surveillance for even 30 minutes, at least the regional office and an ASAIC would know everything about him, including parameters of any missing time periods. Just the fact he had a Somali passport should have been enough to bring him in “for a chat”.
But then again, I’m not Agency and I’m not an attorney steeped in legalities. I’m just an American who’s VERY close to a tipping point he’d really rather avoid.

An internal law enforcement memo says Muhammad may have considered other targets, including military sites and Jewish organizations in the Southeast.
———–
After the attack, investigators searched a computer connected to Muhammad and found research into multiple sites in different states, according to the memo.
———–
Officers confiscated an SKS assault rifle believed to be used in the shootings, a .22-caliber rifle with a laser sight, other firearms, Molotov cocktails, homemade silencers and compact disks with Arabic writing on them.
————
Muhammad had been under investigation by an FBI-led terrorism task force since he returned to the United States from Yemen last year, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official said Muhammad had been jailed in Yemen at some point for using a Somali passport.
Frankly I am stunned and infuriated by this.
