“An FBI agent fatally shot a Chechen man in Orlando, Florida early Wednesday after the man allegedly turned violent,” dailymail.co.uk reports. This much we knew. We now learn he did so “as [Ibragim Todashev] was preparing to sign a written confession to his involvement in a 2011 triple homicide.” What’s more, Todashev “allegedly turned violent and pulled a knife on the FBI agent. The agent was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.” So much for Todashev’s mad skillz in mixed martial arts. Back to that triple killing . . .
No suspects had been arrested in that case, in which three men were found in an apartment in Waltham, Mass. on Sept. 11, 2011 with their throats cut and marijuana covering their bodies.
Massachusetts investigators had reported earlier this month that they were uncovering ‘mounting evidence’ that Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, were involved in the slaying. One of the victims, Brendan Mess, was a close friend of Tamerlan’s.
Officials told NBC that Todashev had admitted to being involved in the slaying and that he was preparing to sign a written statement based on his confession when he turned violent and was subsequently shot dead. The officials also told NBC that Todashev had some connections with radical Chechen rebels.
So what’s the connection between the homicide and the bombing? Did the boys suddenly develop a taste for killing? Were they blackmailed? Will we ever know?
In any decent country, we wouldn’t be seeing pictures of Loughner’s gun. We’d be seeing pictures of his dead body.
The should have sent Louis Lerner from the IRS to interview this guy instead of the FBI. She wouldn’t have said a thing and the poor, nice, innocent, Muslim boy would still be alive.
So… in FBI custody and not searched for weapons? Unlikely, or opportunistic for the FBI. Plus, I want to see the interrogation room camera feed.
There is no feed to see. It all went down inside the condo of the victim.
Nothing I have read suggests he was “in custody”? The shooting happened at his own apartment. Where are you getting that he was under arrest or in custody?
If we don’t end up with a self-reliant citizenry, we will get to enjoy dithering citizens filming a murderer and strolling around a corpse, like they did today in Britain:

Or, I guess, to this teacher story: children murdered in an elementary school. But that could never happen.
FBI kills a guy, then later it comes out he was “aggressive”, then had a knife, and now was about to freely admit to a murder. Excuse me for not having any trust in the FBI, but show me something other than BS hearsay as evidence before you try to justify a federal execution.
I wonder who wrote the confession, and whether or not it was typed….
I was wrong. It was a knife he brought to a gunfight, not his MMA.

OMG with this you could make a gun SO SMALL that it will defy detection!
😉
Seriously though, NICE little mill, wow!

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around…..
I said this when the NRA first made that move… they published in AR an article about Call of Duty and how modern video games and their realistic firearms are bringing in a new generation of American shooters and it’s a great thing, then they go and vilify movies and video games. Hell, they have a movie exhibit in the NRA Firearms museum dedicated to film and tv firearms…. how the F did they not think that one through?? Stupid. (and a stupid argument to boot)
Attacking a military target should be called an act of war, not terrorism. Or is it terrorism when Western troops go to Muslim lands and kill them?
You reap what you sow. Of course Labor’s idiotic immigration policy didn’t help matters, but they wanted to erase the traditional English population and replace it with 3rd worlders who would keep voting for them.
What a sick asshole, that soldier did not deserve that.
I’ve never carried a .380 except as an on-duty backup gun. But for all you .380 bashers, I’ve seen two shootings involving a .380…both one shot stops. One to the head, the other to the torso. Anyone who tells you “that caliber won’t do you any good, or will just piss them off”…..has never been shot with whatever caliber they are currently denigrating. I’ve worked many a one shot killing with “mouse guns.”
I carry a .45…but I sure as hell wouldn’t sneer at anyone who was shooting at me with a mousy.
Forbes has published several positive pro 2A pieces this year. I’ve read a few and probably missed others.
Translation: He won’t bring a bill to the floor just yet, but someday soon, when he thinks no one is looking….
“These are not the gun control/criminal safety laws you are looking for…” /waves hand
Leland Yee is Kato to Feinstein’s Green Hornet. Or maybe he’s Kato to Feinstein’s Inspector Clouseau. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
Keep the Democrats out of my wallet and the Republicans out of my bedroom and I’ll be free. Free to defend myself, to sleep with whom I choose, to ingest what I see fit into my body, to spend what I earn…free. I hope I live to see the day.
