#1 This is one desparate guy getting out of an arranged marriage.

Timelines: just over 5 months ago, his parents inform him he's off to Afghanistan for a forced marriage.

5 months ago, he wakes up "nuts" one day and dammit, he gets released (nice try)

2 months ago - departure date approaches and he falsely confesses to murder - anything to get out of this arrangement. He's released an taken off to Afghanistan for nuptials.

2 weeks ago - the US celebration of the arranged marriage takes place, complete with cousin joshin' about "being a man" and arrival of wife pending, Popal decides he really has to kill to get out of this.

Popal has gone to some truly extreme lengths to get himself put away or arrested.

Popal is a pansy, most likely, and would rather kill than be killed by his family when found out. Better murder and jail than Humiliation and the family honour-killing.

#2 thx TW,

He owns two properties w/ houses.

He had a house all ready to move the new wife into. No doubt his father purchased it out of the family funds. Not one of those mythical poor, ignorant jihadis driven to desperation by the situation in [fill in the blank].

..and maybe father & son have other off the books income?

#3 One simple question: If this guy's parents knew he was rolling around on a bent axle, why did they fly him overseas for marriage so he could inflict himself upon some poor schnookette?

If your collie is off its trolley you don't send it down to the kennel for breeding.

I can almost imagine this guy shuffling around the house muttering about killing Jews and infidels while his family dismisses it with; "That just the jihad talking."

#5 "Terrorist" and "freakin' nutzo" are not mutually exclusive.

#6 maybe he is gay and freaked out over the prospect of being with a chick forever

#7 None of this matters. This guy killed people with his car. Premeditated. The needle for him. Time for the excuses to end.

#8 "Terrorist" and "freakin' nutzo" are not mutually exclusive.

lotp, considering the continued speculation upoon this suspect's mental condition and the potential role Islam might have in his final actions, I'll be happy to resubmit yesterday's post if you have time to comment upon it. I'm interested in your observations.

#9 Damn, now wouldn't Grand Rampager be a fine name for a SUV.

#10 I think we can resolve this problem simply enough: just make a thorough biopsy of his brain.

#11 'moose, you're assuming he has a brain. Microencephalopathy explains much of the symptomology we currently identify as Islam.

#12 Damn, now wouldn't Grand Rampager be a fine name for a SUV.

I can only assume that would be the top-of-the-line model for the Dodge Rampager?

#13 Maybe the SUV was "bipolar"?
