Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov
Police have identified the attacker as Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. He is accused of driving a rented Home Depot truck in a bicycle lane for 20 blocks as he ran pedestrians over. He exited the truck shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’
Saipov, 29, is a Florida resident who is originally from Uzbekistan. He has been in the United States on a diversity visa since 2010.
Police are searching a vehicle at the Home Depot in Passaic, New Jersey where Saipov is believed to have rented the truck. According to multiple media reports, he was a driver for Uber and also worked as a commercial truck driver.

and treating them better than the American citizen! Disgusting!
Vickie Cobb
Diversity visa? And was an Uber driver!
Mary Frame
IKR, what they heck is that? We need a overhaul of the visa process, that is one of many categories that needs to go. Cut the visa numbers in half permanently.
Susan Woodham
I’m just shocked they called it terrorism so soon. How are the dems gonna spin this?
Josh Burgans
Mary Frame My thoughts. No need to limit Visas from certain countries, just reduce visas to maybe 20,000/year. H1B visas and student visas are killing the job market and causing tuition costs to increase exponentially.

Arlene Sanders

Casi Carden Selph
And these Yahoos want to let every Tom Dick and Harry in the U.S. wonder why that’s a BAD idea
Tjo Johnson
And he will be found guilty and we will be supporting his ass in jail. Don’t even want to see his ugly face.
Caroline Armstrong Amaral
Deport these Muslim immigrants, both good and bad. If not a US citizen, go back to your own country.
Allen Long
These people are full of hate yet the tolerance and acceptance crowd doesn’t seem to ever want to preach their PC message to them. Wonder why?
Allen Long
I’m sure someone is going to read this and get offended if I don’t clarify that I’m talking about fundamentalist muslims and muslim terrorists.
Paul Tucker
Islamic terrorism…
Kathy Sills
We continue to allow these people invade our country….these are evil people with evil in tgeir hearts…why wound him?…we don’t need his kind here.
Kathy Sills
In other words…No entry from these countries…he isn’t from mexico …oh but the drugs that are ruining so many young lives….bulid it
Chuck Browning
Something obama started
Chuck Browning
And he will be in an American prison to radicalize others 😡
Tjo Johnson
Chuck Browning I know. This should be an automatic and immediate death sentence regardless of what the state laws are on execution. I mean the same day he is found guilty.
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
So how are you going to keep the Stephen Paddocks, the Adam Lanzas, the James Holmes, the Dylann Roofs of the world out?
Joseph Yarchak
So…. are you suggesting that just because we have these domestic problems, that this is why we must get more of the same, but it’s OK because these would be foreigners ?… Lindsey Maddox Bowman…
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
Nope. I’m just pointing out the fact that not all terrorists are foreign nationals. 😊
Joey Blalock
This blood is on Obama! Trumps right! When will you people learn that these people don’t want peace or compromise! They want you dead!
Joey Blalock
So keep the foreign nationals out! Lindsey they want you dead too!
Tim Hancock
Yes it is.
Keith Pate
90% of all terrorist attacks are muslim
Becki Barnett
Should have shot him in the head instead of the butt.
Becki Barnett
Because some people’s heads are where this guy got shot.
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
Nope, but nice try: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/oct/06/newsweek/are-white-males-responsible-more-mass-shootings-an/
Joey Blalock
And it will stay there! Dumbass
Angela Hager
A mass shooting without political or religious motivation is not classified as a terrorist attack, by proper definition. Mass shootings, as horrible as they are, are usually committed by people who have snapped mentally; they are not killing in the name of their god, Allah.
Joe Singleton
Leave it to the insane liberal to introduce poison into a healthy body or decide that Ireland needs some poisonous snakes. We don’t need muslims in this country.
Marie Armstrong
There is no way that I am going to get in a car with a complete stranger! Evidently Uber is too loose with their drivers back ground checks. They just want the vehicles to be so so. Be damned what the driver is like!
Alicia Thorn Chambless
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
I don’t recall any of the murderers on your list screaming out, “Allahu Akbar!” 🤔
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
Never said they did. 😊
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
But I guess what you’re saying is that they’re ok & what they did is fine because they didn’t do it in the name of their religion. That’s cool. 😊
Charles Browning
Gitmo material for sure!
Amanda Williams
Say it louder for those in the back Lindsey!
Joshua Smith
allahu akbar is just a synonym for “god is good”, but im sure you don’t give the sideeye to all the people you hear say that every day
Joshua Smith
what
Joshua Smith
ill give you $100 if you can cogently explain what building a wall in addition to the wall already on the US/Mexico border will accomplish
Joshua Smith
the wall doesn’t stop the drugs either, kathy
Taneshia Granger
What about the Nazi who plowed through the crowd and killed that girl or the Las Vegas massacre? I guess it’s ok if one of our own kills us. 🤦🏽♀️
Roland Hill
Taneshia Granger He was white he wasn’t a threat
Mike Clark
He killed people. Why let him just go home?
Tanya Samples Carey
Amen!
Tanya Samples Carey
No. It means Allah is the greatest. Allah is who they kill for. NOT GOD!
Tommy Cory
Why do Americans keep taking up for terrorists, Muslim terrorists Muslims are fighting to take over the world. It is not a religion. It’s a civilization takeover.
Tanya Samples Carey
Keith Pate yes!
Tanya Samples Carey
Angela Hager with what he was shouting (translated as Allah is the greatest) I have to disagree.,
Angela Hager
Hi Tanya. I was referring to the “white men commit more terrorist attacks” post. Those individuals kill because they are evil/mentally ill, not because they are carrying out the “will” of their Allah. That is what differentiates a mass shooting from a terrorist attack.
Joey Blalock
They do it because they have been conditioned to believe that there are only a few bad ones! I wish they would travel to some of these countries and see for themselves! These young ladies on here would not even be allowed to speak or show their faces!
Marie Armstrong
Whatever happened to the Boston bomber that survived? Still setting in jail or what?
Michele Perkins
We have enough of our own problems,, we don’t need to be importing them.
Lindsey Maddox Bowman
I thought this was an interesting take on what makes it a terrorist attack: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/world/terror-attacks-vegas-nyc.html
