JUST DEVELOPING – AT 9:50 A.M. ET: News is first coming in about this, but we may have just dodged another terrorist bullet. From CNN:
A man was arrested Monday after police found an arsenal of high-powered weapons and a map of a U.S. military base in his New Jersey hotel, authorities said.
You know, the kind of stuff everyone has.
Lloyd R. Woodson, 43, was arrested and faces multiple weapons charges after an investigation into his suspicious behavior at a store in Branchburg, New Jersey, said local prosecutor Wayne J. Forrest.
Woodson, wearing a military jacket, went to a store called Quick Chek on Monday afternoon and was acting suspiciously, Forrest said in a statement. The clerk called authorities.
The clerk is a hero, and may have prevented another Fort Hood.
When officers arrived, Woodson ran into the woods. He was subdued after wrestling with officers, the statement said.
During the struggle, officers noticed that Woodson was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying an assault rifle in his coat.
And here is the intrigue:
Officers searched Woodson's hotel room and found another assault rifle, a grenade launcher, a police scanner, another bulletproof vest, a map of a U.S. military base, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a Middle Eastern-style headdress, the statement said.
A Middle Eastern-style headdress? Why, of course, isn't that what we all wear?
Now, why would a man with that arsenal also have a Middle Eastern-style headdress? I want to know all about this man. And yes, I want to know his religious background.
I hope the press stays on this story. The usual suspects will probably dismiss the Mideast fashion as a coincidence. After all, who are we to question? I want a lot of answers.
