Blame Game: Malik Faisal Akram!

British national killed by SWAT.

What will the far-right be exploiting this week?

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. 

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

American rabbi tried to calm the hostage taker.

The death of a British man who held four people hostage in a Texas synagogue. Instead of worrying about far-right extremism in the United States, the far-right will devote their time to radical Islam and blame President Joe Biden for the actions of this man.

It's already expected that Americans who harbor bigoted views towards Blacks, Muslims and immigrants to justify the views on white nationalism. Surprised Washed Up 45 hasn't talked about it yet.

The suspect is from Blackburn, Lancashire. He was shot and killed by SWAT teams after he held four people hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel Temple in Colleyville, Texas.

The hostages were not injured. 

During the incident, the man could be heard ranting on a livestream in what was reported a British accent.

This was an act of terror.

The Foreign Office of the United Kingdom confirm the suspect was a British national, while the London Metropolitan Police said its counterterrorism officers were in contact with U.S. law enforcement and the FBI.

President Joe Biden. Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Abbott, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the U.S. Justice Department were informed of the matter.

Foreign secretary Liz Truss said on social media: "My thoughts are with the Jewish community and all those affected by the appalling act in Texas. We condemn this act of terrorism and anti-semitism. We stand with U.S. in defending the rights and freedoms of our citizens against those who spread hate."

FBI special agent Matt DeSarno said the bureau believed the suspect was "singularly focused on one issue" and that it was "not specifically related to the Jewish community," adding that it would countinue to "work to find [a] motive/"

The suspect was demanding the U.S. release the former neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui. 

The woman is serving a LIFE in federal time out because the U.S. accused her of attempt murder, supporting foreign terrorism and plotting to use hazardous material in an attack against Americans.

She was detained in Afghanistan in 2010. She tried to kill an American army captain.

The FBI said that woman is at Criswell. The woman is imprisoned for being an "al-Qaeda operative and facilitator."

The suspect's brother condemned the actions of the suspect. They said they are "absolutely devastated" that the suspect was killed by the law.

"We would like to say that we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would sincerely apologize wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident."

This threat was isolated.

On social media he added, "Although my brother was suffering from mental health issues we were confident that he would not harm the hostages ... Later a firefight has taken place and he was shot and killed ... There was nothing we could have said to him or done that would have convinced him to surrender. We would also like to add that any attack on any human being be it a Jew, Christian or Muslim, etc. is wrong and should always be condemned. It is absolutely inexcusable for a Muslim to attack a Jew or for any Jew to attack a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, vice versa etc., etc.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the civil rights organization and the brother of the woman held in federal time out condemned the actions.

This incident was "wicked" and the "heinous" crime doesn't not represent the views of American Muslims. It "has nothing to do with Dr. Aafia, her family, or the global campaign to get justice for Dr. Aafia." 

Take a time to hug your family members.

The suspect apparent knew he would die and apologized to the rabbi and the perishers numerous times.

But of course, was the suspect armed? 

If he was... I guess that means that the state of Texas must have really weak gun control laws. A foreign national can purchase a firearm without having any background check. 

The so-called 2nd Amendment crowd believe that guns are "god's given rights." They seem to not understand that mentally ill folks are obtaining firearms too. But given that mental illness is a cop-out and the insurrection was a motivated attack by a demi-god who lost an election, you'll expect more of this.

So while the far-right will point fingers at the Muslim community, Biden and those who support gun control, the next terrorist is plotting to attack. The FBI manage to stop the suspect before he harmed an innocent victim.

Was there any other way?

Hostage situations often involve the hostage taker usually not surrendering peaceful. But every scenario doesn't look like a movie.
