The Chattanooga gunman


Naina Bajekal and Tara John have a Time article and video (above) about the idiot in Tennessee:
The FBI has identified Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24, as the gunman who killed four Marines and wounded three others in attacks on military centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday. The gunman was shot dead by police the same morning.
Officials said Abdulazeez was not on any terror watch lists, although he was arrested on 21 April 2015 for driving under the influence, according to a Hamilton County Jail booking report. US attorney Bill Killian told reporters that officials were treating the attacks as an act of “domestic terrorism”.
Although the investigation is still at an early stage, Abdulazeez appears to be a “lone wolf” acting without clear links to terrorist groups. Experts say lone wolves are likely to suffer from social isolation and mental health problems, but those who knew Abdulazeez have described him as “a good kid”, a handsome, outgoing, polite young man.
Here’s what we know so far about Abdulazeez:
He was of Jordanian descent and was born in Kuwait in 1990, according to a Federal official quoted in The New York Times. He became a naturalized American citizen after moving to the country with his mother, who is from Kuwait, and his father, Youssuf Abdulazeez, who is Palestinian, reported the SITE Intelligence Group.
The family moved to a two-story house in the middle-class, suburban neighborhood of Hixson, Tennessee, a short distance from Chattanooga. Hixson police are currently searching the house for evidence. Neighbors told reporters Abdulazeez and his siblings were well-behaved and polite.
The New York Times cited unnamed law officials saying Abdulazeez’ father was briefly subject to investigations some years ago in relation to possible ties to a foreign terrorist group, but his name was later removed from a terror watch list.
Abdulazeez graduated from Red Bank High School, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The young man’s senior yearbook page read: “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do? Hijabman
Karan Wagner, who attended high school with Abdulazeez, called him friendly, funny, and kind, and added that his family seemed normal. “I never would have thought it would would be him,” she told the Chattanooga Free Press. “They were your average Chattanooga family.”
Rico says his friend Kelley sums it up:
Fuck him. The young man’s senior yearbook page said: “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do? Hijabman
This kind of shit is why his name sets off alarm bells, just like mine would in Saudi Arabia. He's better removed from the gene pool.
