There's been a fatwa on him since the 1980s. Yaaay for religious zealotry!

Here's a gem, the suspect whom countless people witnessed committing the crime has pleaded Not Guilty.


"Matar pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree attempted murder and second-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury with a deadly weapon, his public defender, Nathaniel Barone said."

He had come to our college some 20 years ago. Sadly I missed hearing him speak.

Happened about 45 minutes away from me. They flew him to a hospital here. All kinds of security, helicopters flying around, the whole works.

Wife and I were scheduled to see him speak during the height of the satanic versus controversy. Sadly the event was canceled due to death threats and security concerns.

Even Cat Stevens wants/wanted this guy dead (I think he's had a change of heart...I may have read that somewhere...?).

This is a CRAZY world.

Wait, it's a Wild World.

Oh shit, what's happening? Cosmic vortex? I like Cat Stevens. I'm getting serious Twilight Zone vibes.

Cat Steven's music is amazing. He converted to Islam years ago and apparently hangs out with some bad guys. Watch list stuff, so I have read.

He should have packed a 9mm, dont be a victim. If somebody is charging the stage with a knife aimed at you, ya draws down on them, they crap their pants, and you survive another day. fjb
