Old Dominion Shooter Convicted of Terrorism Charges: was released after completing drug treatment program

Of course his name started with the letter "M." Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, the shooter behind the Old Dominion University terrorist attack. And even though he has a conviction for terrorism, a bureaucratic clusterfrack with a drug treatment program ended up in his released from federal prison, according to the AP.

Mo is a naturalized U.S. citizen, originally from Sierra Leone (the kind of profile that screams "thorough vetting" these days). He pleaded guilty in October 2016 to attempting to provide material support to ISIS. You know, those kooky kids who burn people alive or remove their body from their head if they aren't religious enough or belong to the "wrong" religion or have no religion at all.

Anyway, Mo got hit with a "dime and a bullet" federal sentence, [that's 11 years for you innocent readers who haven't served hard time]. Somehow the jihadi got transferred to a halfway house in August 2024 and by December, he was a free killer. 

Can I get an Al Lou Akbar?

It's an enigma wrapped in a mystery how Jalloh even qualified for the drug treatment program, which can knock up to a year off a sentence. According to the Bureau of Prisons, scumcrumpets convicted on terrorism charges are straight-up ineligible for such sentence-reducing credits or programs. Ineligible. Full stop.

But hey, rules need to be flexible in order to cover for white guilt. 

If Jalloh had been forced to serve his full time like he should have, he'd still be behind bars instead of roaming free to carry out his murderous rampage. On Thursday, this former National Guard member opened fire in an ODU classroom, killing Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, the head of the university's ROTC program, and he wounding two others. Brave ROTC students subdued and killed him before he could do more damage. 

Surprise, surprise, Jalloh reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" before unleashing hell, per the FBI.

Flash back to 2016: Jalloh got nabbed after spilling to an FBI informant (who he thought was a fellow johadi) that he "thought about conducting an attack all the time, and that he was close to doing so at one point," according to the Department of Justice. He connected with this source via a now-dead ISIS terrorist he met during a six-month jaunt to Africa. Oh, and he quit the National Guard after binging on online lectures from Anwar al-Awlaqi, the late al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula honcho.

The FBI bounced questions to the Bureau of Prisons, which confirmed the early release date. The Justice Department? Crickets on comment requests.

The FBI's Norfolk field office put out a statement Friday afternoon saying agents "are working around the clock" to dig deeper into Jalloh's background and urging the public to cough up any tips. I can't imagine what inspired him to attempt to kill as many non believers as he could. If you have any idea, write it in the comments.

This is the kind of story that makes you wonder how many other terrorism-linked convicts are getting sweetheart deals through loopholes that were supposedly plugged years ago. One dead professor, two wounded, and a campus in chaos, all because someone didn't follow the rules that were meant to keep dangerous people locked up. 

Classic government efficiency or suicidal empathy?

Shooter dead after shooting at Old Dominion in Norfolk, VA

A gunman is dead after opening fire at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, roughly 90 minutes southeast of Richmond.

Early reports indicated three people injured in what was described as an "active threat" situation on campus.

A gunman is dead after injuring two people at Old Dominion University Thursday morning, according to ODU officials.

The gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at approximately 10:50 a.m. ODU officials said two people were injured as a result and were taken to a local hospital. Their status is currently unknown.

ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building.

As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, “I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming.”

According to Fox News, officials said the gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at about 10:50 am Eastern time. The extent of the victim's injuries is unknown at this time.

"This is kind of like our new normal," said Fox News contributor James Gagliano. "We deal with these. Whether or not this was a mass shooting, whether or not this was a hate crime. This could've been workplace violence. It could've been a love triangle. We have to keep our aperture open on the investigation. Now I say that and suggest that only because the gunman, from what we're hearing, is down. Police want to immediately go to the sound of the guns, stop the threat, interdict them immediately, get help to the wounded, and then slow things down. The next most concerning thing here, Harris, was this a lone attacker or was this part of a larger conspiracy?"

Look, these campus incidents keep piling up, and the response is always the same: swift police action neutralized the threat here before it escalated into something far worse. Two victims in the hospital, shooter down, campus locked down. But Gagliano nails it. This is the grim routine now. We don't know motive yet, we don't know if it's isolated or something bigger. Investigators need to stay laser-focused, keep that wide lens on possibilities, and let the facts emerge without jumping to conclusions.

Prayers for the injured, and kudos to the first responders who ran toward the gunfire.

Almost 2 million non-citizens illegally registered to vote

A huge number of non-citizen Hispanics, perhaps as many as 2 million, were illegally registered to vote in the US according to a nationwide poll. Guess for which party they voted.

Why is it that only conservatives really want voter ID and immigration laws that are on the books to actually be followed?

The National Hispanic Survey provided more evidence for anti-voter fraud conservatives and supported an analysis by Old Dominion University professors who said non-citizens illegally voted in potentially large numbers.

President Trump said he's going to appoint a task force to uncover voter fraud and Vice President Pence will head it. The task force will focus on inaccurate voter registration polls, which are maintained by each state and the District of Columbia.

White House adviser Stephen Miller told ABC News that "It is a fact and you will not deny it, that there are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote. That is a scandal. We should stop the presses."

The Hispanic survey was conducted in June 2013 by McLaughlin and Associates but didn't get much press. The purpose was to analyze the opinions of US resident Hispanics on a number of different issues.

The sample size consisted of 800 Hispanics, 448 of whom said they were non-citizens and of those, 13 percent admitted they were registered to vote. Presumably, the 448 non-citizens would consist of illegal immigrants and non-citizens who are in the country legally, such as visa holders or permanent residents.

It is a felony based on 1996 federal law, for non-citizens to register. The poll didn't ask if they actually voted.

Mathematically, if the 13 percent of the 2013 US Census numbers for non-citizen Hispanic adults were applied, that would amount to about 1.5 million illegally registered Latinos, claims James Agresti, the director of the research nonprofit "Just Facts."Accounting for margin of error, the range is from 1.0 million to 2.1 million.

That's a lot of illegal Democratic votes.

Of course not every illegal voter would actually vote Democratic. At least one to 200 would possibly vote conservative--most likely, one and he would have probably hit the wrong lever.

"Contrary to the claims of many media outlets and so-called fact-checkers, this nationally representative scientific poll confirms that a sizable number of non-citizen in the US are registered to vote," Mr. Agresti said.

In 2013, another 8.3 million non-Hispanic non-citizens lived in the US, according to the Census. One can only wonder how many of them were registered to vote.

As our immigrant population, both legal and illegal, keeps growing, the problem of non-citizens voting illegally has caught the attention of grass-roots conservative groups. Democrats stand to gain with the alien vote and they haven't really complained about the problem--in fact, they deny it exists.

In 2014, two professors at Old Dominion University (ODU) and one at George Mason University collaborated to do a data-driven analysis of non-citizen voting. Their data came from the biennial Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), headquartered at Harvard University.

Using CCES responses to citizenship questions, the ODU team estimated that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 Obama election. They projected a range as low as 38,000 and as high as 2.8 million.

Of course, the CCES authors at Harvard (where they teach young men to wash their hands after they use the urinal) reacted with outrage, claiming the small number of respondents among a sample of 38,000 made the responses meaningless. They picked at their numbers and came to the leftist Harvard conclusion that zero non-citizens voted.

That should give everyone pause, in spite of the liberal media proclaiming the ODU study was now "debunked." The ODU professors stand by their work and have filed counter-rebuttals.

It should be noted that Harvard professors, all but Alan Dershowitz, believe Al Gore is a global warming genius.

The 2013 Hispanic Survey tends to confirm the ODU work as the survey's 13 percent registration rate is totally in sync with what the CCES data indicates in multiple elections.

The ODU paper found that in 2008, 2010 and 2012 between 14.5 and 15.6 percent of self-declared non-citizen adults were registered to vote. Thus, the CCES and National Hispanic Survey data align very nicely with each other.

But don't tell that to the liberal media.

In spite of the stupidity of the liberal media, the White House is not backing off from the issue. Stephen Miller made the case on Sunday's "ABC's This Week" where he totally pissed of former Clinton towel boy, George Stephanopoulos.

"An issue of voter fraud is something we're going to be looking at very seriously and very hard," Miller said. "But the reality is, is that we know for a fact, you have massive numbers of non-citizens registered to vote in this country. Nobody disputes that."

"The White House has provided enormous evidence," he added, "with respect to voter fraud, with respect to people being registered in more than one state, dead people voting, non-citizens being registered to vote. And, as a country, we should be aghast about the fact that you have people who have no right to vote in this country, registered to vote, canceling out the franchise of lawful citizens of this country."

Stephanopoulos didn't deal with that, however, he went after President Trump for claiming there were 3 to 5 million illegals voting November 8th and that voters were bused in from Massachusetts to vote in New Hampshire.

Then George's cell phone rang and he put Bill Clinton on hold while he finished his "fair and balanced" attack on Miller.
