Naturally, the FBI filed this in the circular tray and instead went about their days sipping coffee and taking Instagram photos instead. I think it’s pretty fucking credible when a Father reports that his son is a terrorist.
The father made the statement about his son being a terrorist to New Jersey police in 2014, when Mr. Rahami was arrested after a domestic dispute and accused of stabbing his brother.
The information was passed to the Joint Terrorism Task Force led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Newark. Officers opened what is known as an assessment, the most basic of F.B.I. investigations, and interviewed the father, who then recanted.
An official, when asked about the inquiry, said the father made the comment out of anger at his son.
It is not clear if officers interviewed Ahmad Rahami.
On Tuesday morning, outside the family’s restaurant in Elizabeth, the father, Mohammad Rahami, told reporters, “I called the F.B.I. two years ago,” he said, shaking his fingers in the air.
Asked if he specifically meant his son, Mr. Rahami stormed away. A short time later, he responded to a reporter who asked, “Do you think your son is a terrorist?”
“No,” Mohammad Rahami said. “And the F.B.I., they know that.”
Ahmad Rahami spent over three months in jail on charges related to the domestic dispute, according to a high-ranking law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. A grand jury, however, declined to indict Mr. Rahami. Assistant Director William F. Sweeney, who heads the F.B.I.’s New York office, alluded on Monday at a news conference to a “domestic incident” in which he said the “allegations were recanted.”
Here’s the problem: there are thousands of shits in the US just like Rahami. Obama will have issued 1,000,000 green cards to Muslim immigrants during his time in office. Additionally, about a half million people *per year* overstay their visas.
We don’t have (and probably can’t afford) enough FBI agents to identify and watch all potential terrorists 24×7 until they commit a crime.
As harsh as it may seem, stopping immigration to the US from terrorist-infected/radical-Islamic countries is our only realistic protection. We can’t properly vet a woman from Saudi Arabia (San Bernardino), much less a 7-yr-old (Rahami), and obviously not an unborn child (San Bernardino, Orlando).
What if it’s not incompetence….what if it’s intentional?
