Hollywood Shooter Was Repeatedly Screaming 'Allahu Akbar!', Media Does Not Report
2011-12-10
A gunman pointed his weapon at more than a dozen people Friday as he randomly opened fire on drivers and pedestrians in Hollywood before being fatally shot by Los Angeles Police Department officers.

Video shows the gunman calmly pointing his handgun and opening fire on passing cars near Vine Street and Sunset Boulevard near the ArcLight Cinema.

A man driving a Mercedes was shot in the jaw and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was in critical condition. He is expected to survive.

What is most disturbing about this story, apart from the obvious horror, is that not one news account reported what one witness said the shooter was screaming: "allahu akbar." Not one news account. The media is the enemy.

Check out the video here. One of the witnesses states that the shooter was repeatedly shouting "allahu akbar" at minute 2:42. This video is on the bottom right of the LA Times new story, but they don't mention it in their coverage -- neither does Reuters, CBS news, The Hollywood Reporter, KFAI, or any of the other news reports. I expect that this video will be removed or edited.

#6  Very odd. An LA television station report talks about the shooter, Tyler Brehm's Facebook page, his recent taking of under the table 'pharmaceuticals', and his resulting breakup with his girlfriend as the triggers.

#5  No suprise. Remember Beslain - that children's school in Russia? The media bend over backwards and tied themselves in knots to give their allies cover and never, ever, ever, mention that the perps were Islamic or terrorists.

They still refuse to acknowlege it.

Not a surprise. The LSM is the enemy. Goebbles would be proud of the them.

#1  Those Californians were lucky that police were nearby, and that the jihadist had learned to shoot by watching Hollywood movies.
