Multiple Victims in Machete Attack at Columbus Ohio Restaurant

[Expat]

And officials remain baffled by a possible motive.

If it is like that other one last month, he can proclaim his motive and the officials will still be baffled.

Our news this morning said he was an Israeli Christian.

So then, that would be a "twofer" as far as jihadists are concerned.

Really, when you think about it, they were asking for it. That is just too provocative.

A picture of the front entrance to the restaurant. I did not see a "no guns" sign posted on the doors and I think they are supposed to be prominent.

The owner is an Israeli, I'm thinking there won't be any anti-2A signs. Am I the only one surprised he didn't Mozambique-drill the perp with an Uzi?

He wasn't at the store at the time.

Why would you think this?

Remember, the nonsense you read in American gun rags and hear from talk shows, is simply that, nonsense.

Israel was founded by dedicated socialists and is run by a police state. Add in the baksheesh culture of the region and you have a high propensity for "gun control".

He's prior military (like everyone in Israel pretty much) and he came here. Columbus, OH isn't exactly Indianapolis, but it ain't Berkley or Atlantic City.

Respectfully, I think you have a misconception about Zahal. However, you are quite correct in that we do not know his views.

Being Israeli in itself is not evidence of being in favor of the right to arms. What you read in the American gun rags about Israel is nonsense.

Gee, I wonder if the Feebeeies will have a press conference on this?

No Gun signs carry the force of law in Ohio, wonder if the place was posted???

You're correct, unfortunately

If they serve alcohol, it would be for sure.

Our rules allow us to carry in an establishment serving alcohol but we cannot drink - sort of like designated driver


Update: Restaurant was posted Victim Rich ... er ... I mean...Gun Free Zone

*UPDATED* Machete Attack In Ohio Restaurant: ?No Guns? Sign On Front Door Creates Helpless Victims | Concealed Nation


Area is a commercial corridor between one fairly well-heeled suburb (Gahanna) and one very well-heeled suburb (New Albany). Latest story is perp came into restaurant about 1/2 hour before the attack looking for the owner, who was not in. Came back, came through the door and immediately began random attacks on those nearest the door then fled the scene by car which led to his fatal encounter with CPD. Smart money says targeted attack by low-information jihadi (is there any other kind)

I know this is a bit off-subject, but look at the Columbus PD in the video around the 0:17 mark. 1966 called, they want their hats back.

They video also mentions a cell phone from the San Bernardino attack had encryption that still hasn't been broken.

The cops at the Nazareth restaurant were wearing bus driver hats, story said they think this was the T-Mobile next door. On Google maps the area could've been straight outta Carmel.

Ninja post! You beat me Pudly!

Has this been declared a terrorism attack yet?

Has this been declared a terrorism attack yet?

.gov is unsure of the motives of Mohamad Barry who is originally from the western African nation of Guinea, visited the UAE in 2012 and entered the Nazareth Deli (owned by a Christian Israeli) with a machete, attacked 4 strangers and then attempted to attack police.

INGO: its terrorism
M-W: the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal.

 

[UglyAmerican]

Oh, and there are reports that he was on a [STRIKE]terrorist[/STRIKE] watch list too. So, did the authorities watch him do all this?

Probably not since they didn't send an informant to befriend him, talk him into actually doing something, provide him with the weapons to do so, and then swoop in and 'stop' him and then take credit for stopping a terrorist attack.

Fox news just said it was being invetigated as a terror attack
