SF Jihad
It's happened again, what Daniel Pipes calls "sudden jihad syndrome". This time in a case almost exactly like the Chapel Hill attack, a muslim man rents a SUV and runs over 14 people.
As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco deliberately running them down before being arrested by police, who believe the same driver struck and killed a man earlier today in Fremont.
"The hits were intentional,'' he said, noting that police are treating them as assaults.
Gittens had no information about a possible motive. I'll give you three guesses....
Popal was arrested after patrol cars boxed in his black Honda SUV, its windshield and right front headlight smashed, outside a Walgreens store on Spruce Street between California and Mayfair in the Laurel Heights area.
A dental office manager, who identified herself only as Kira, watched from a second-floor window as police dragged the driver out of his vehicle.
"He was absolutely indifferent, no fear, no expression,'' she said. "He was like a zombie.''
Architect Jeremy Warms also saw police pull Popal out of the SUV and sit him down on the curb.
"He looked calm and pretty clean-cut, like a normal guy,'' Warms said. "He sat on the pavement for a good 25 minutes. I don't think anyone said anything to him. They put him in a police car and took him away.''
Popal is Afghani, and his lawyer is already going for an insanity case.
Popal's attorney, Majeed Samara, said his client was "mentally ill" but did not elaborate.
"All I can tell you is he's not all together," Samara said Tuesday.
Uh, huh sure, and our crazy peaceful, non-terrorist muslim friend just happened to run over pedestrians near the Jewish Community Center. Some of the attacks took place on Bush street.
Popal himself admits he's a terrorist! See video. But hey , what does a Muslim know about Islam? he's not a terrorist unless the authorities say so.
Personaly, I'm so sick of this disgusting denial by our leaders and the media. How many attacks, how many deaths?, before this nation finally faces the reality of jihad?
Uh-huh, yeah, nothing to see here, move along, move along....
Now we're PC to the point that admitted, self-confessed terrorists aren't terrorists?
It's just another isolated incident...

Of course he's insane he's an islamic terrorist.
Let me guess, he is in the country legally too, unlike Cali's other hit and run drivers without insurance or a drivers license.
