Virginia cops arrest 2 suspects in murder of married couple

Fairfax County, VA -- Police have arrested two young men suspected of killing a married couple, both military veterans and physicians, on Wednesday morning. They are facing a total of eight felony charges including murder in Springfield, Virginia.

D’Angelo Strand, 19, of Fort Washington, Maryland, and Ronnie Marshall, 20, were arrested Thursday, in connection with the death of Edward McDaniel Jr., 55, and his wife, Brenda McDaniel, 63, both of Springfield.

Police said that the men were co-workers of a relative of the victims.

Earlier Thursday, investigators said they had found a "vehicle of interest" connected to the case after a local resident called in a tip. At that time, they said they took an unnamed person of interest into custody. They said the vehicle was a key to their investigation and asked the community for help finding it. On Thursday around 7:30 a.m. they got a tip that the car was at a business in Lorton, VA.

The cops found the car and took the operator, Strand, into custody and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

At 2 p.m. police spotted Marshall in Alexandria and arrested him, charging him with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, just like they did with his buddy.

Law enforcement officials said that they believe the shooting on Wednesday was a "follow-up and related to the interactions Monday." Police Chief Kevin Davis said they know for certain that at least on of the two suspects was at the McDaniel home on Monday.

Davis said they believe the motive was a dispute and now they're trying to determine what it was about. 

Maj. Ed O’Carroll, bureau chief of Major Crimes Cyber and Forensics for Fairfax County police, said the investigation is ongoing. 

“As of this moment, we have not located the firearm, but we have a lot of work to do. I mentioned the vehicle that’s now in our possession. We got a lot of things to follow up on. We want that firearm … This case does not close with these two arrests and these multiple charges. In some aspects, it’s just beginning,” O’Carroll said.

Neither Strand nor Marshall are members of the NRA nor are they lawful owners of any firearms. The Second Amendment has nothing to do with this case, but the fact that All Lives Matter does.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Muslim extremists gather near D.C. calling for jihad

"The Habibster"

Washington, D.C. -- At a gathering last weekend, Islamist speakers from Virginia, Maryland, Texas and Pakistan spoke out against America calling us the "land of infidels."

The keynote speaker, Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi, (aka "The Habibster") the principal of an Islamic seminary in Faisalabad, told his 100 or so listeners that "ignorant infidels" need to be forced to accept Islam.

"They are ignorant and there is no need for dialogue with them. God has given them two options, one is the holy book and one is the stick, and if one does not accept the holy book, they have to be forced," the scum muffin said.

Several Ahmadiyya Muslims attended the conference under cover and reported on the event held at the Holiday Inn Express in Springfield, Virginia. It was organized by two U.S.-registered charities, Idara Dawat-O-Irshad and Khatme Nubuwwat Center. 

Both organizations are IRS tax-exempt. Thank you Lois Lerner.

Ludhianvi had issued fatwas against women in the past, who had the un-Islamic audacity of using cellphones or wearing high heels in public. 

"The biggest threat that Islam is facing today is the disruption of the family system, for which they [the West] are urging women to go out of their homes," the easily turned-on lunatic said.

Other speakers at the conference deprecated Ahmadiyya Muslims, whom they view as heretics. In fact, booths that were set up for participants handed out anti-Ahmadiyya literature calling them infidels and the "greatest enemy of Islam," which implies that they need a good beheading by the real religion of peace.

Ludhianvi stated that Ahmadiyyas are worse than Jews and Christians and said the American justice system ought to outlaw the faith altogether--how very Constitutional of him.

"Have all Muslim lawyers died? Why can't they learn and understand U.S. laws and then go present their case in front of the judge and explain that Qadianis [Ahmadiyyas] are disrespecting Islam?"

But Islam is allowed to disrespect Jews and Christians? Makes perfect sense.

Ahmadiyyas shun jihad and believe a messiah known as Mirza Ghulam Ahmad came after Mohammed to reform Islam and renounce jihad, declaring it against Islamic beliefs.

Sounds too peaceful, I suppose.

Pakistan (pronounced 'Pahkeestaahn' by former president Obama) passed a constitutional amendment declaring Ahmadiyyas non Muslim and instituting blasphemy laws against them. If they dare recite the holy Quran, or call their mosques 'mosques,' they are to be killed.

One such victim of the religion of peace was American cardiologist Mehdi Ali Qamar. He was an assistant professor at Ohio University and was volunteering at a heart institute in Pakistan, built and funded by the Ahmadiyya community.

Mehdi was with his wife and one of his three sons and a cousin paying respects at a grave when he was shot 11 times by two real Muslims on a motorbike.

Shazad Hussain (no relation to Barack Hussein Obama) the imam of the Noor Mosque in Springfield, Virginia, accused the Ahmadiyyas of joining with the British to stop Muslims from "fighting jihad and committing bloodshed."

Of course, the Ahmadiyyas were only one sect in Islam the conference-goers objected to. The Shi'ite Muslims were also victims of their bile. Omar F. Khan, a teacher at the Idara Dawat-O-Irshad charity, loudly proclaimed why Shi'ites are considered to be infidels.

But let's face it--if you aren't their brand of Muslim, you're an infidel. And if you're an infidel, you need to come to Islam their way. And if you refuse, you must be forced. If you still refuse . . . well, you're in deep trouble.

You might say, you had a good head on your shoulders.
