| 2015-06-03 | ||
This morning while at the bus stop in Boston, my youngest brother Usaama Rahim was waiting for the bus to go to his job. He was confronted by three Boston Police officers and subsequently shot in the back three times. He was on his cell phone with my dear father during the confrontation needing a witness. His last words to my father who heard the shots were: I can't breathe! While at the hospital, Usaama Rahim died! From Allah we come, and to Allah we return. Imam Ibrahim Rahim
"He was on foot, under surveillance," Evans said. "The officers have been surveilling him and again they wanted to speak to him ... and he turned and our officers gave several commands for him to drop the weapon and unfortunately he came at the officers and they did what they were trained to do and that's never an easy decision for any officer to make." One FBI agent and one BPD officer fired, FBI Special Agent in Charge Vincent B. Lisi said. Evans said the suspect was wielding a large military-style black knife that he could have "done a lot of damage" with. "I think our officers tried their best with the FBI to try to convince him to put down the knife but he didn't leave us a choice," Evans said. "It's an active investigation with the joint terrorism task force ... It's very fluid it's ongoing, but we have one male shot and as you can see it is a very active scene." The suspect was declared dead at Brigham & Women's Hospital, Evans said. "All we know is the joint terrorism task force was on this guy and when they confronted him to speak with him he turned and came at the officers and unfortunately he was shot dead," Evans said. Boston police Lt. Mike McCarthy said the suspect is of Middle Eastern descent and had been under surveillance "for weeks," including this morning. An eyewitness who declined to give his name said the suspect was armed with a knife and had a "scabbard" when he lunged at police and was shot. Dozens of police officers have swarmed the small shopping plaza and officers are seeking surveillance video from a nearby Dunkin' Donuts, employees said. | ||

| #11 FYI FREEREPUBLIC, TOPIX > PAUL KING: BOSTON PROVES ISLAMIC STATE THREAT TO US. and * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > BRITISH LEFT-WING BECOMING AS EXTREME AS WIDE-EYED ISLAMISTS. Again, BRITAIN = US = PHILIPPINES [resurgent Commie NPA]? = the priority of Amerika's mighty Unitarian establishment in Washington is US-WORLD SOCIALIST ORDER, NOT NATIONAL SECURITY. Nor IMO as per even PERSONAL, LOCAL SECURITY. THE MORE JIHAD = MORE ANARCHY-N-CHAOS = THE BETTER FOR US + GLOBAL SOCIALISM. FUBAR/SNAFU = WHEN ALL IS SAID-N-DONE, IT I UNFORTUNATELYS NOT CLEAR THAT IT WILL BE WESTERN ANDOR SECUALARIST MARXISM-SOCIALISM + RELATED THAT WILL RULE OR DOMINATE, AS AGZ ISLAMIST = ISLAM-BASED/CENTRIC THEO-SOCIALISM. |

| #10 REX, the anti-American, leftwing, "progressives" are joined at the hip with the anti-American, Islamist-jiohadies. It's the new Red/Brown coalition where the common denominator is a visceral hatred for America, Israel, and the west in general. Think of it as the 21st century version of the Hitler/Stalin Pact. |

| #7 Ibrahim is now imam at the Lighthouse mosque in Oakland, which also houses the Lighthouse Masjid Social Justice Committee. hmmm there are those words again. They are very active in the local BDS movement comprised of Arab/Leftist protest/victim grievance organizations as well as some union locals. His outright lying about his now room temperature brother is exactly what I would expect from someone affiliated with that organization. |

| #4 my youngest brother Usaama Rahim was waiting for the bus to go to his job Just minding his own business--just eating a Halal candy bar, reading his Koran like a good Mooselimb. Shot in the back? Beginning to read like Ferguson and the gentle giant. Only took three shots? Good shooting. Time at the range was well spent. |
