Greetings, Dear Reader,
Of all the kinds of news I see week in and week out, my favorite kind without question is dead terrorists.
Let’s get into it.
FAMOUS (STUPID) LAST WORDS
While we don’t have direct quotes yet, I imagine it going something like:
“Is this ROTC?”
Right before all hell broke loose.
The students in the class, future military officers, replied in the affirmative. According to some reports, the assailant then shouted “allahu akbar” and opened fire, tragically killing Old Dominion University’s ROTC commander, Army Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, a highly decorated soldier who’d been to several fronts.
But Mohamed Bailor Jalloh had chosen the wrong marks.
The ROTC students rushed him. Wrestled him down to the ground. Then killed him. Manually.
This led to the most unintentionally amusing FBI presser in domestic terrorism history.
“How is he deceased?” asked a reporter.
“Uh, the … there were students in that room who subdued him and, uh, rendered him no longer alive. I don’t know how else to say it.”
*Geoff Ingersoll giggling audibly*
I’m sorry. Yes, I should get a hold of myself. This is my military morbid humor kicking in. Excuse me. If it makes any of you feel better, I’m sure Shah was up there with St. Peter at the Gates looking down and it went something like:
“Geez, Pete, they really got him, eh?”
“They sure did, Brandon. And you know who’s got him now?”
And they both laughed.
Unfortunately for us, the hilarity doesn’t stop there. The Soros-backed DA in Norfolk, Virginia, knew exactly who to blame: Law-abiding Republicans!
“We live in a country where people care more about guns than they do about 6-year-old children. They care more about guns than they do synagogues. They care more about guns than they do college kids,” said Ramin Fatehi, because of course that’s his name, commonwealth attorney for Norfolk.
Fatehi went on to call law-abiding gun owners a “cult” who contributed to a “sickness” that would claim more lives if it wasn’t ultimately stopped with, you guessed it, “common sense gun control measures,” which is a euphemism for blanket bans.
I’m not going to get into Fatehi’s personal record. You could write a book on it. But he’s renowned for reducing sentences for repeat offenders who go on to just repeatedly offend. He also bungled a dead-to-rights homicide case that claimed the life of a young reporter and two others in his district. Oops.
But wait, Dear Reader, it gets funnier from there.
Jalloh, 37, was convicted of providing material support to ISIL 10 years ago! He was imprisoned, then released into the general population. Why did he even have a gun and what does his crime have to do with law-abiding citizens? Other than the one he murdered, nothing!
Unbelievably, there’s more. He was born in Sierra Leone. Yes, he was an immigrant. He somehow got naturalized, then defected to ISIS (after his ex-girlfriend sent him videos of her banging another dude. No, I am not joking. It’s in the court records).
If ever there were a case for denaturalization and deportation, it’s Jalloh. Why was he still here? Why was he still among us? Why was he armed while on “five years of supervised release”? Who on God’s green earth was “supervising” this convicted terrorist? These are all questions for our perpetually confused federal law enforcement and the liberal policies set into place to protect criminals bristling in red flags.
I’m sorry, but if you idiots are hellbent on allowing literal ISIS terrorists to walk among us, I’m buying more guns!
Meanwhile, the lad who killed him reportedly did so with a knife he was carrying on his person. Technically illegal on campus.
Will Fatehi target the heroes of the situation next? We’ll have to wait and see, but that would be pure liberal poetry.

This piece is absolutely awesome. Give those young heroes medals. I want to believe - since it sparks joy - that they assessed our govt won't protect us from foreign jihadis they make citizens then let loose on the law-abiding, so they took affirmative action to solve the problem permanently. As people realize our government sides with jihadis, foreigners, and violent felons against law-abiding Americans, it falls to the law abiding to enforce the law.
Immigration freeze NOW.
And while we're at it, remember: "supervised release” is a pro-criminal scam. We need incarceration and, where appropriate, the death penalty: not supervised release and similar scams.
Yes, these young ROTC guys are heroes. I love that when "fight or flight" kicked in, they chose the former. The right guys were in that room!
And I agree on an immigration freeze and have vocally supported a moratorium since at least 2002 when Pat Buchanan's seminal book The Death of the West was published. He crystallized all I had thought into a great book. And more great books followed - Pat, you are missed and, naturally, you were right!
