Well whaddaya know, suspected terrorist Ahmad Khan Rahami has greivances. People were mean to his family. And their lawsuit against the city of Elizabeth, NJ isn't getting any traction.
So, bombs away!
The family of Ahmad Khan Rahami, arrested in connection with weekend bombings in Seaside Park and New York City, sued the city of Elizabeth in 2011, alleging a pattern of harassment and religious discrimination by city officials.
According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, the Rahami family said Elizabeth police officers repeatedly forced the closure of their family restaurant, First American Fried Chicken, telling family members "Muslims don't belong here" and "Muslims are trouble."
Court papers show several members of Rahami's family were arrested during a multi-year dispute with city officials stemming from noise complaints at First American Fried Chicken. Ahmad Rahami is not named in the lawsuit, but his most recent listed address is that of the family restaurant.
Way to embrace that American dream there guys. You've got the victimology angle down pat. Let me guess, you're Ready For Hillary?
The suit is still active, but on hold. Their attorney recused herself after at least one Rahami family member pleaded guilty to interfering with a law enforcement officer back in 2015.
And not for nothing, but noise complaints at a fried chicken restaurant? Were they screaming "Death To America!" at all hours of the day and night?
Color me skeptical too on the "Islamophobia" complaints. Today's politically correct police departments wouldn't dare go on record saying those kind of things, not when every Ahmad, Omar, and Mohammed is carrying a cell phone camera. All it takes is one YouTube video of a cop saying "Muslim go home" and it'd be front page news for the better part of a year.
But that won't stop the Social Justice Warriors from launching into their "we need to learn from this" apologistic drivel. And right on cue there are commenters at NJ.com saying precisely that.
[M]aybe Mr. Rahami believed that he and his family could not get redress from the courts... disenfranchisement was cited as a motivating factor in the ISIS attacks in France...
Somebody called BS, and was promptly whacked with the Moral Equivalence Card.
Remember that guy in Texas who crashed his Cesna into the IRS offices? It's hardly a unique ideology...
Honestly, I don't know how someone that clueless manages to tie his own shoes.
But that's how liberals roll. Blame America first. Even if you have to dredge up a lone nut from 2005 to do it.
All we need now is for President Golfpants to tell us the Elizabeth police "acted stupidly." Or maybe he'll just crack another inappropriate joke before green-lighting the next wave of unvetted Muslim "refugees" who'll refuse to assimilate into our society.
Let's just hope that Obama doesn't simply excuse Rahami, because after all no
one was killed, and it's not like
one of his oldest and dearest friends wasn't, uh not guilty, of
the same thing, right?
