Ah, the cyanide-laced plot thickens...

Are you saying that the dead guy with the cyanide was a Somali Christian - - or that he was threatening Christians?

It's a little unclear.

Just a little

is there a context to this post that could shed more light?

So who was he trying to Kill Kill Kill?

re: #2 zombie

Threatening Christians.

All this hate when the world is glorious! Sunset on the San Gabriels. Rest your eyes & spirit.

You would be shocked and amazed how easy it is to get cyanide.

Somebody should check to see what rabidroach at kos has in his cupboard.

It's a comment for a blog post. The blog post was asking what happened to a Somali Christian blog that suddenly stopped being active.

Totally OT, but I need some non political/subject info. And yes after this the Iron Fist rule come into force. but can someone point me to who did the theme songs for Deadliest catch an Ice Road Truckers?

Ah I see. Here's what I deciphered:

1. There was a Somali pro-Christian blog that documented the slaughter of Christians in Somalia by Islamic extremists.

2. The blog went defunct.

3. Another blog made a post speculating as to why the original pro-Christian blog disappeared.

4. On that post, " Abdirahman Dirie " came on and commented, "Please don’t talk shit , that man deserves what happened to him , simply because having the bible in one hand , and a bread in the other hand , is not a correct thing ,! Kill Them , Kill them , Kill them , that is my massage,!"

Hence, he was indeed likely an Islamic extremist threatening Christians.

Interesting.

If it's the same guy.

He hates Christians. Obama born into a Muslim family, becomes a Christian. Will be in Denver. So was Dirie. Hmmmmm.

re: #7 Charles

Threatening Christians.

re: #11 Charles

It's a comment for a blog post. The blog post was asking what happened to a Somali Christian blog that suddenly stopped being active.

Gotcha.

So the cyanide man was also on a blog site talking about killing people...looks like he had some bad intentions in Denver if it is the same guy. I wonder if Homeland Security knows about the possible tie to the blog site and the possibility that cyanide man is the same person.

Shiplord, that is a superb catch. Congratulations!

re: #2 zombie

Are you saying that the dead guy with the cyanide was a Somali Christian - - or that he was threatening Christians?

It's clear from the source posting that he approved of the murder of a Somali Christian.
It's impossible to tell if this is the same guy as the Denver corpse but "Abdirahman Dirie" is not all that common, especially among people who would be inclined to use colloquial English (as in Ottawa).
I could find only one reference to an Abdirahman Dirie who was definitely not our guy; Mohammed Abdirahman Dirie MD, a physician in Puntland.

re: #8 Ojoe

Beautiful Thank You. It fits my current mood.

Maybe he was making sure the cyanide was the "good stuff."

Very interesting.

I'll be curious to see what comes of this, although a name on a website isn't conclusive.

He could, of course, also be a poet or a web designer.

Very interesting, though.

re: #15 DoubleU

re: #22 BignJames

Maybe he was making sure the cyanide was the "good stuff."

Our drug dealers on East Colfax Ave. have a really good sense of humor. May Dirie though he had purchased some good blow, only to be fooled.

If this is the same person and he intended to harm Christians - or anyone for that matter - then thank goodness he had a work accident.

Scary either way, though.

Charles,

Would it still be possible to run down the IP address from which the Dirie (assuming it is the same guy) posted the comment?

re: #19 godfrey

Shiplord, that is a superb catch. Congratulations!

Thanks, but the real credit should go to "Crosspatch" at Rantburg (comment #5).

re: #23 Cognito

That's what I'm wondering. It could be the Somali version of Bob Smith.

re: #29 Gearhead

For those that run the blog it could still be logged, for Charles to have access to it probably not.

Did the Jihadi jerk die by his own hand or was he given a slight shove? Maybe it was an act of God! Now that would be delicious!

nice catch shiplord. our media here in denver isn't saying much about this case right now so it's intriguing to see this bit of info.

He was threatening Christians- that much is clear.

I suspect there are people in Canada who knew exactly what this guy believed- and didn't bother to tell anyone. If they had reported this guy, he would not have been allowed in the country.

I hope.

"Kill them" is not a massage therapy I'm familiar with.

I can only imagine his last words:

If this isn't my talcum powder than what is it? Uh oh!

Bad intentions? Certainly seems plausible.

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

1) We don't know what the materials were that were discovered in his room.
2) We don't know what the guy died of.
3) We can't yet confirm that this guy is the same as the one who posted those blog comments.
4) We don't know the guys intentions in Denver - that if the materials were indeed cyanide, who the intended victims were or motive.

This is definitely something to keep an eye on, but right now, it's a big mystery and the Denver PD is looking into it and suspect that the FBI and even Secret Service are looking into the matter as well. I am somewhat surprised that they think the tests to determine whether it was cyanide will take a few days to come back. You'd think that the chemical tests wouldn't take that long.

Purely idle speculation here but are there any mega churches in Denver near his hotel?

re: #37 Hard Right

I can only imagine his last words:

If this isn't my talcum powder than what is it? Uh oh!

He died dry and comfortable.

re: #26 Hard Right

Dead before he could murder. An act of God? ;)

Own goal for Stan.

With his language and hate for Christians, I wonder what his nic was as a Daily Kos diarist.

If the guy is a whacko jihadist, why mess with the Dems' convention? I mean...they're the 'home team' for whacko jihadists in this election. The Dems want to believe that Islamofascist "terrorism" (those are their scare quotes by the way) is a trumped up Rovian conspiracy. Just another example of how out of touch jihadists are, imo.

re: #36 Sharmuta

"Kill them" is not a massage therapy I'm familiar with.

It's Scientology rundown procedure called R2-45. LRH recommends that it be done with a .45 caliber pistol.

re: #46 Hard Right

Nah, Stan gets that soul, 'own goal' or not...

OT but noteworthy:

There have been a couple of more knife attacks since the original knifing at the Olympics against Chinese police. These have been planned since the attacks come ala SJS methods while the police are unarmed. (one attack a dumptruck rammed a formation doing exercises, the assailant then jumped out and continued the attack with a knife.)

Betcha he knows the St Clair grocer, just guessing.

I've noticed through the years that the standard answer to all reporters who ask the question of "How long will it take to get the results?" is "A few days". True, a lot can be done quickly, but they cover their a** for the one or two that may take awhile, or needs to go to another city for testing.

Either that, or they don't know and just wing it, knowing no one will call them on it.

So this guy was not a creationist? Whew.

If he was a Somali Muslim, he probably was a creationist.

Sorry to blunt your snark.

re: #46 Hard Right

No raisins for him.

I think we'll hear nothing more about this case. If there's something sensitive, up go the mirrors. If it's boring, no more than a paragraph.

Personally, I prefer the "double body massage" as opposed to the "kill them massage".

Certainly could be. I think that to assume anything beyond that at this point is to get ahead of the facts.

It's a strange way to follow through, as you said, but we simply don't know anything about the guy at this point.

re: #2 zombie

Are you saying that the dead guy with the cyanide was a Somali Christian - - or that he was threatening Christians?

threatening Christians is my guess. Pick up a Bible, you deserve death.

Weird scenes inside the gold mine.

re: #32 DoubleU

For those that run the blog it could still be logged, for Charles to have access to it probably not.

Thanks. I wasn't asking if Charles could do it, jut the folks at Rantburg. If Dirie's operational practices were bad enough that a) he posted a comment under is real name and b) made a little boo-boo that ended his mission prematurely, then he might not have been smart enough to cover his internet tracks. There might be a *chance* that an IP address could reveal something about his location and/or friends.

Interesting how this guy wanted to wipe out his best allies- Democrats.

Very strangely that matches the biggest of the "otaku" murders in Japan. He drove a truck into a crowd then jumped out and started stabbing and slashing.

Not to be insensitive, but is there a cultural thing going on here that is common between China and Japan, or is it more a result of the lack of guns?

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

re: #118 Mars Needs Neocons

In a fairly recent Chinese Kunf Fu movie, some shooting was going on and i remember the star fighter stood up and said "No Guns!" so everyone dropped theirs and fought "honorably" with their hands and feet. I always wondered if this was a stab at western values.

Having said that, guns are harder to come by, but "rogues" seem to like knives these days.

re: #2 zombie

Are you saying that the dead guy with the cyanide was a Somali Christian - - or that he was threatening Christians?

To put it in context:
From the blog it looks like he was saying that the fellow mentioned in the article as killed by Muslims for converting to Christianity deserved to die, that a Bible in one hand and bread in the other was no excuse etc... somehow I suspect the Somali in question was not Christian...

SHHHH! They'll ask it to be one of his advisors.

Good idea. I'll teach it how to say "change." It's a Red-Lored Amazon, not big talkers, but very good on imitating sounds. Barks, chicken cluck, crow, laughs, growls.

The only word it says is "what," which can be annoying hearing her do that over and over.

I still note that no one is yet offended by "toothpick model construction."

This Dem Convention could well turn out to be the most craptastic convergence of morony and mewling ever seen.

And then toss in some chemical Jihadis to top it off.

Top 4 Worst Pets

Many of the rainforest lizards need special machines placed in their tanks to create mist. They need special food additives, such as cricket dust. They need special lighting fixtures to heat their tank. People just assume a lizard needs a heat rock and a water bowl. This is FALSE. A heat rock can literally BURN your lizard! Never, ever use a heat rock, despite what the pet store will tell you.

In addition, lizards, for the most part, do not want to be handled. Some lizards, especially Old World Chameleons, can DIE from stress if handled too much! They can also die from too many elements being changed in their tank on a consistent basis.

I hate it when I burn my lizard.

Charles, you could always post something inoffensive about the Yankees.

Yes, the one that had the shooting in Colorado Springs had a training camp in the area IIRC.

DENVER - Authorities say a man who died of possible cyanide poisoning at a Denver hotel was 29-year-old Saleman Abdirahman Dirie from Ottawa.

And this came out a while back. Hawiye Elder Accuses Alshabab of Attacking his Clan

The spokesman of Hawiye clan elders Ahmed Dirie Ali has laid blame on Alshabab over the attack took place in Adaado town of Galgadud region central somalia that stuck between his clan militias and Alshabab Islamic fighters and he described that attack as specifically targeted for his “Saleman” clan by Alshabab fighters.

Maybe part of a gang war spilled over from Somalia.

No. The Jabberwock comes whiffling through the wood (and burbled as it came!). Our hero, he left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.

For some strange reason, I have the poem committed to memory.

re: #49 Thanos

OT but noteworthy:

There have been a couple of more knife attacks since the original knifing at the Olympics against Chinese police. These have been planned since the attacks come ala SJS methods while the police are unarmed. (one attack a dumptruck rammed a formation doing exercises, the assailant then jumped out and continued the attack with a knife.)

Could be that some people are seeing an opportunity to let the world know things aren't so hunky-dory in China.

re: #186 Sol Roth

Charles you can post whatever the hell you want to post. I'm just glad LGF is here.

It would be okay if you took a vacation too. We could manage a week or so of withdrawal. You've been at this for a long, long time.

re: #224 Mich-again

Good point. I forget the name, but there is some drug that is imported from africa, sold mainly by Somalis, that produces a high and is generally unrecognized by police forces here. Anyone know what that is? Could it be the powder? I remember wondering why it wasn't uniformly illegal here.

Personally, I think the guy dropped dead when he realized his plan to poison the people at the convention by sprinkling cyanide on the fried chicken and french fries was not going to work.............................................. ..

while cyanide is not on the list of banned items at the convention, fried chicken and french fries definitely are!

I wonder if we could actually come up with a subject for a website that is so boring and bizarre that the website doesn't actually already exist.

No fair combining things, like a website dedicated to left-handed albinos who love pizza.

This guy was probably just Raila Odinga's Somali envoy to the Dem Convention.

Too soon?
