Minnesota terror attack
In all the furor over the New York bombings and the capture of the suspect-at-large, let’s not forget the Minnesota mall stabbings:
The man who stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall before an off-duty police officer fatally shot him has been identified as 22-year-old Dahir A. Adan, federal law enforcement sources and two Somali community leaders who are in contact with Adan’s family said Monday.
Adan went to college in St. Cloud and worked for a private security firm at the time of the attack, the community leaders told CNN.
Shades of Orlando, where the perp had been working in security. Not exactly reassuring.

St. Cloud, a 67,000-person town about 65 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is home to one of Minnesota’s larger immigrant Muslim communities. In recent years, the community there has faced conflicts with other Minnesota residents, including incidents that have led to damage to mosques and opposition toward at least one new house of worship, according to the StarTribune…
Police and witnesses said the attacker, wearing a private security company uniform, entered Crossroads Mall on Saturday night around 8 p.m. CT. Inside the mall, he made a reference to Allah and asked at least one person if they were Muslim before he attacked…
Though the mall’s security teams were on site, the security officers were not armed.
Of the nine people stabbed, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis said, three people were still hospitalized, including one person who remains in life-threatening condition.
And it’s also not the least bit surprising how Adan was finally stopped:
Amid the chaos, Jason Falconer, an off-duty police officer from nearby Avon, killed the suspect as he threatened other shoppers…
At a news conference Sunday afternoon, the mayor and police chief praised Falconer, a part-time officer and former police chief of Albany, Minnesota, for taking action. Both officials said they had viewed a surveillance tape from Macy’s which revealed details of the confrontation.
“His heroic actions are exemplary of having witnessed what he did as the suspect was lunging at him with a knife,” Kleis said. “Not only did he fire, the suspect went down, came back up on three different occasions. He protected others from being injured and potentially loss of life. Clearly, a hero.”
Clearly, we have an armed hero who was trained to react to a situation like this. It’s very fortunate that the terrorist went for the wrong man—who turned out to be the right man.

Russia ‘to revive the KGB’ after Putin wins biggest majority
[not like it really went anywhere… ogpu, nkvd, kgb, etc..]
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/19/russia-to-reinstate-the-kgb-under-plan-to-combine-security-force/
A State Security Ministry, or MGB, would be created from the current Federal Security Service (FSB) , and would incorporate the foreign intelligence service (SVR) and the state guard service (FSO), under the plans. It would be handed all-encompassing powers once possessed by the KGB, the Kommersant newspaper said, citing security service sources.
(since this organ of state one, anyone could have told you eventually it would merge into the single power it should never have been under the troika legged stool)
but its needed for the war…
which we are too distracted to watch its over 10 year slow build up…
So it’s all the fault of people in the Twin Cities, is it, that drove the Somalis to the small town of St. Cloud? And one person remains close to death because the mall guards were unarmed?
Why are there Somalis in the Twin Cities any way? Because the good people who worked at State Dept in DC took them out of Kenyan refugee camps and settled them among the liberals in the Twin Cities 20-some years ago, so they could wash their feet in toilets 5x/day (Fact, not a joke. Where do they defecate? Used to be in kitchen sinks) and live in taxpayer-supported “high cotton.”
I have it on excellent authority that a similar-sized town W of the Twins, Mankato, has ~50 different primary languages in its school system, where teenage girls of different Somali tribes attack one another with viciously sharpened fingernails, going for each other’s face and eyes.
What are we to do? All rational responses will be condemned as fascistic by the people and the media that are thrusting this crap on us in the hallowed name of diversity.
Well, call me fascist.
And for God’s sake, let us never forget that the main threat to the West, as always, remains Islamophobia!
Frog:
It’s my impression that most malls don’t have armed guards.
That’s because the security guards are not police, and/or there are not enough highly-trained personnel to be able to arm the security guards at malls.
Now, I suppose it could be done, but until now it hasn’t been deemed necessary, and the expense would be rather large I think.
See this:
There’s a lot of debate online about the question of arming security guards at malls.
Yeah, so you know, what’s going on in Israel.
Grab a knife, slice a few of the oppressors, and go off to Muslim heaven when, or if, they kill you.
Plenty more will take your place. Obama has an unlimited supply of them. And the opportunities given Minnesota politics are potentially unlimited.
Ann Corcoran, who blogs at Refugee Resettlement Watch, has compiled the statistics on the truly insane number of Somalis (illiterate, tribalistic, impoverished black African Muslims) allowed into this country over the last two decades– well over 150,000!
Where’s a concealed carry permit holder when you need one? When out in public you might consider loading with these. Then, sprinkle the body with this… by their own beliefs, no entrance to paradise, no 72 virgins.
There should be no protest from ‘moderate’ Muslims because ISIS and their sympathizers aren’t part of Islam, right?
The point of course is to remove the incentive… because this is just the beginning. Look not to Europe but to Israel for our future.
So says London’s new mayor, “London’s Muslim Mayor Tells New York And London to Get Used to Terrorism”
PS: I searched for a more ‘reputable’ source for that story but inexplicably, only Brietbart is reporting on the new London mayor’s ‘advice’.
“Who can fathom the mind of a chicken?”
Just ask a few liberals, many of them are intimately familiar with being a chicken… 🙂
I completely believe that 150,000 number. Many work in meat packing plants in NE and MN.
PJmedia article;
“Jason Falconer is the man who shot and killed the 22-year-old Somali maniac who went on a stabbing spree at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday.
Falconer is the owner of Tactical Advantage, a shooting range and tactical training facility. He was also formerly the police chief of the Albany (MN) Police Department and is still a part-time police officer. Falconer is an NRA instructor and a member of the United States Practical Shooting Association, a competitive pistol shooting association.
The media will not tell you those things. Bob Owens at Bearing Arms writes: “But Falconer has consistently been identified in the mainstream media only as as a ‘former police chief’ and ‘off-duty police officer.'”
GB: What the mayor of London said is common sense. Even the Breitbart headline didn’t make it sound too inflamatory.

I have had my company’s office located in St Cloud for the last 26 years. Minnesota liberals and its Governor have long considered St Cloud and its residents to be deplorable.

Nick,
I would argue that rather than common sense, it is the reality we face as long as we refuse to identify the enemy. It is our future as long as we insist that Islam is a religion of peace.

Trumpbart exaggerating? Inconceivable!
I am glad I am getting old. Would hate to be young and growing up in America now. Sad.
Libs made their bed. Now they get to sleep next to their guests.
These days I decided to get some gear, since a lot of my suspicions from after 2001 and 2007, are coming out in the mainstream.
Things such as personal security for each individual on this continent always needed maxing out, but the security bought by America’s forefathers and the system they left behind, is finally beginning to fail. And not just in ghettoes or corrupt cities either.
For my non lethal force options, an IED flashlight is getting popular. For bypassing TSA check lists, other things have gotten popular. Although I was always a fan of the unarmed schools of martial arts and self defense. Not even the TSA could literally disarm you then.
One of the benefits of the modern 21st century school of fighting arts, aided by the internet (such as Historical European Martial Arts or HEMA) is that you don’t need years of training, something on par with Olympic Athletes or triathlon or marathon users.
Given the limitations of the modern family life and work life, people want results quickly from their training. None of this “train for 5-10 years before you can be proficient”. People have distilled it down to only a few days, although further weekly practice is needed to master or refine personal physical skills.
Even the use of something like a flashlight in a tactical environment, requires training on par if not exceeding what police undergo from their curriculum. Except for civilians, there is no curriculum, just recommendations and individual creative efforts. Some of which have become adapted and ingeniously effective in this environment, often exceeding the usability of police or military training.
I have had the benefit of prioritizing my personal reaction skills since 2001. But even if others start right this week, they won’t be too far behind. It just takes a gear shift in the mind, from thinking of “I need an authority to tell me what to do” vs thinking as a ruler or decider, and just having advisers recommend solutions to you while you implement them for training.
There’s a lot of debate online about the question of arming security guards at malls.-Neo
Generally there are a lot of VIP bodyguards and tactical teams out for hire, and not expensive as Blackwater or whatever their new name is now a days.
So their question isn’t whether to arm rent a cops, it’s about whether to shell out the major cash to hire people executives hire to protect them. Killers who are better than the killers, but hired to protect instead of assassinate.
The issue for schools was probably the same thing, budgeting. The fight out in the public sphere looks to be about issues, but what motivates people is resources and who gets to expend whose money.
The amount of money required to hire even 1-2 executive protection details for a mall, for hours at a time, isn’t necessarily small. Of course, that is why cargo liners passing by Somalia, didn’t hire tactical teams. Until they did, Somali pirates were a “big problem”. Of course they became “less of a problem” when the corporates started hiring teams of shooters and putting them on their cargo ships.
