    I saw this earlier. Heavy.com doesn't have five fast facts up yet, that tells me there may not be 5 facts about this one. Thankfully his OPSEC sucked canal water and the Feds got their hands on him first. The plan to attack Fisherman's wharf Pier 39 is terrifying on many levels. Nowhere to go and nobody armed in SF except the bad guy are my top 2.

    Wouldn't surprise me a bit if that played a role in target selection

    Odd the OP picked the BBC for the source. Either it was the first news agency he happened to see, or the American news agencies were behind the curve and got scooped.

    It's shameful that the U.S. Media won't report things they deem to not be in their interests.
    I'm noticing more often this happening.
    Geez and Rice I hope not to have to depend on the BBC.

    The article I saw said something to the effect he believed all the kafur deserved to die, Donald Trump is Satan because of the Jerusalem embassy thing, etc. (not a direct quote but along those disturbed, rhetorical lines).

    If we could just find a common reason or similar trait among the attackers and attempted attackers we would have a chance at stopping some of them?

    One of the stories I saw said he completed Marine Boot Camp (2009, would've been 18 and straight out of high school) but was discharged for not disclosing he had asthma. If he had less than 6 months in it's not a discharge and the individual is not a veteran.

    Sounds like he has experienced failure and loss.
    Well, so have I. A lot of both actually and I never ever considered what he was doing or going to do.

    A bent/weak mind is difficult to figure.

    The OP is Irish (until he gets sworn in as a citizen), and in the course of catching up with what was going on at home the BBC had that news on their front page and I thought to share it from the source I had right in front of me.

    Hey, when that happens, say something, start a thread.
    I'd love to attend that ceremony.
