Muslim terror-attack in San Francisco

SF hit-and-run murderer identifies self as terrorist; police say it wasn't terrorism

Omeed Aziz Popal has, like Muhammad Reza Taheri-azar several months ago, driven his SUV into people, clearly trying intentionally to hurt or kill them. Like Taheri-azar, he seemed completely calm and at peace with himself after the incident.

After mowing down as many people as he could, Popal was boxed in by police and arrested. According to this video, he then identified himself as a terrorist (this bit comes right at the end of the report). Police, however, have already ruled out the possibility that these were acts of terrorism -- again, as they did in the case of Taheri-azar.

Here are more incidents of authorities engaging in dubious denials of terrorism.

Was this yet another case of what Daniel Pipes has termed "sudden jihad syndrome"? Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't. But clearly an act of random violence by someone who declares himself a terrorist is terrorism even if he lacks a laminated Al-Qaeda ID.

"1 dead, several injured in San Francisco hit-and-run rampage," from CBC News:

One person has been killed and at least 14 injured in the San Francisco area on Tuesday after a driver targeted pedestrians on crosswalks and sidewalks, police allege.

The victims were taken to three hospitals. One was in critical condition.

"These are the things, these are so senseless. They're utterly inexplicable. They're impossible to rationalize," Mayor Gavin Newsom said.

The spree began around noon in the Fremont district, where a 55-year-old man walking on the side of the road was struck. He was thrown into a field and pronounced dead at the scene, said Sgt. Chris Mazzone of the Fremont police.

Witnesses said the driver did not slow down.

The driver then crossed the bay into San Francisco, where at least four separate incidents occurred over a 20-minute span.

"It was like Death Race 2000, "firefighter Danny Bright told the Chronicle. "Guys were walking down the sidewalk and the guy just came up and ran them over. The guy went crazy.''

Police were eventually able to box in a black Honda Pilot in the city's Richmond district.

The arrested man was identified as Omeed Aziz Popal.

Crisis Renewed

Why go through the time and effort to force your way inside a secure building, when you can just mow the Jooos down in the street, without ever leaving your car?

Hugh Hewitt - Terrorist Attack in SF? (no link because his new “blog” is retarded. yeah, thanks dude for writing the book on it, then being a dumbass. okay sorry. spleen vented.

When a man named Ohmeed Aziz Popal runs over 14 people over an hour or two, the best thing to do is think terrorism.

So where is the MSM? The attacks began five and half hours ago.

UPDATE: A caller to the program who stated he had lived in the neighborhood where the attacks occured asserted that this is a heavily Jewish neighborhood. I have not found that confirmed in the media accounts yet.

UPDATE: Four callers have confirmed that without doubt this is a Jewish neighborhood, and that one of the victimns was run over in front of the Jewish Community Center in the area.

UPDATE: From an e-mail:

Look on the web! the JCC located at 3200 California St. Site of one of the attacks: 3250 California ST.

Please keep an eye out for the first MSM mention you see that this may very well be another mass casualty attack on Jewish Americans, the second in two months.
