But obviously they weren’t following him closely enough. There is no indication at this point that Mohamed Barry had any connection with the Islamic State, but one of their goals is to overwhelm American law enforcement and intelligence agencies with so many jihad plots and jihad attacks and suspected jihadis that they will not be able to keep up, and will collapse from the strain. The fact that “the FBI was looking at Barry for expressing radical Islamic views four years ago” but “moved on from him in their investigation” indicates that this might not be very difficult to do.
“Suspect in restaurant machete attack was on FBI’s radar,” WCMH, February 13, 2016:
COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Police have identified the suspect who was shot and killed following a violent machete attack at a northeast Columbus restaurant.
Police say Mohamed Barry, 30, walked into the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli on North Hamilton Road and attacked four people using a machete. He then fled the scene in a white vehicle.
A police helicopter located the vehicle, and officers were then able to maneuver the suspect off the road. Sgt. Rich Weiner said Barry then attempted to get out of the passenger side of the vehicle, and an officer Tased him with no effect.
When Barry lunged at an officer with a machete and a knife in his hand, Columbus Police Officer John Johnson, a 25-year veteran of the force, fired two shots from his duty weapon, striking and killing Barry.
Law enforcement officials say the FBI was looking at Barry for expressing radical Islamic views four years ago. For an unknown reason, the FBI moved on from him in their investigation.
He was in an FBI database, but the feds were not surveilling him at the time of last night’s attack. Law enforcement officials tell NBC News it is too soon to tell why he picked this restaurant, and say it’s also too soon to speculate on his possible affiliation with any specific groups….
It’s perfectly clear why he picked that restaurant. The owner is a pro-Israel Arab Christian.

Ellie says
Apparently “radical Islamic views” are acceptable to the FBI. They have to wait until some local cop has to put the barbarian down before they notice! Don’t expect any protection from the Feds from any of the MILLIONS of fundamentalist Muslims that the UN managed US Refugee Resettlement Program has brought to this country under the radar!
Shane says
Obama has ordered the FBI to not profile Muslims and that Islam has no connection to Muslim terrorism. We need a GOP president to get our counter-terrorism people to do their jobs.

we can be guilty of radical anti-islamic speech & writings. SOOO, we have to be on guard for ourselves. Was that a “GFZ”? (gun free zone)

Michael Copeland says
The trotting out of the “possible affiliation with any specific groups….” line is becoming nauseating. An individual attacker does not have to be “affiliated with any specific groups” if he is a muslim. Islam suffices. He is commanded by Islamic law (the Koran) to kill non-muslims.
Huck Folder says
He is ‘affiliated’ with islam.
Nuff said.
Donovan Nuera says
Here is a handy rhyme that can help police officials decide if islam played a role in a massacre…
“If he sports a pubic beard and prayer bump/ He is a jihadi that you must bring to the city dump”.

Yup. He’s a signed-up member of the Mohammedan Mob, the Allah Gang. That’s all it takes.
Angemon says
Four years ago. Wasn’t that shortly after Obama had mentions of “islam” and “jihad” scrubbed from counter-terrorism manuals, and agents who learned about islam with the likes of Robert Spencer were “reeducated” by CAIR-approved dawah arti… erm, islamic experts?
“Unknown reason” indeed…
David Hustvedt says
It was a gun free zone. The customers were defenseless and the perp was not at risk.
Jay Boo says
Muslims in Chapel Hill struggle to manufacture a fictitious Islamophobia narrative.
Meanwhile here is yet another example of a real hate crime by an intolerant Muslim supremacist that goes unreported as such.

duh_swami says
The jihadist is not required to join any group to be a jihadist..They are already connected by the umbrella group called Ummah… The proper reading of the ‘perverted’ version of Islam and a willingness to act is all that’s required…
Lanya LaPunta says
” … and say it’s also too soon to speculate on his possible affiliation with any specific groups….”
The group with which he is affiliated, without a doubt, is that he is a mohamedan.
Enough said.
David says
I’m in whole hearted AGREEMENT with you, all the way !
There are millions of CITIZENS who see what is happening, under Obama’s watch. But , the WASHINGTON ELITES have their heads so far up their arses, that it will take about 10 million of us VOTERS just to pull a few of those heads BACK OUT!
somehistory says
islam is the connector and the radar on islam has been turned off.
It is as though the authorities wish to be thought stupid and incapable of doing a proper job as they always
have *no clue* just **why** the attacker, killer, would-be killer, went on a killing rampage, spree, attack, at the particular place, certain person, selected group. While he/she had been on a *list* of ones to be *watched, monitored, investigated,* *for some reason no one knows,* he/she was no longer being watched, monitored, investigated.
But, we know the *whys* and the end result.

They knew about the Boston Bombers and the Underwear Bomber. The Army knew about the Ft. Hood terrorist. They just don’t want to do anything about these barbarians.

Its a case of two dysfunctional cultures feeding off and destroying each other – criminals lowlifes and orthodox islamists.
Jay Boo says
Basic Islamic doctrine is a dysfunctional culture that was originally founded to support the sex slave trade by Muhammad and his first wife madam Khadijah.
The Qur’an is a manual full of intolerant hate speech that advocates for murder and owning of sex slaves
Carolyn Hampton. McCollum says
Obama is a traitor; he’s intentionally weakened our religious beliefs by trying to shame the Christians while praising muslim jihad, weakened our currency with quantitative easing, decimated our military, opened up our borders and welcomed the dregs of the world to be supported by American taxpayers, and divided our people with your racist, godless, hateful rhetoric. He’s taxed the hell out of my income while I’m trying to work and to hire people, taxed my investment income AGAIN, then will tax my kids AGAIN on the same money a third time when I die so the government can take over HALF OF EVERYTHING I’ve left to them. Screw the democrats and your welfare state. You took everything I’d earned and gave it to those who didn’t want to finish high school or couldn’t pull their damn pants up from their knees and couldn’t get a job. NOW WHAT?? What are you socialists gonna do when you run out of WORKING PEOPLE’S MONEY?? Become Cuba? North Korea? Argentina? Can you dumbass socialists not see that NO WHERE IN THE WORLD HAS SOCIALISM WORKED. NO WHERE. EVER. You know nothing of economics or human nature. God help this nation and those who rise up to fight the treason we face from within the government. (I’m talking about the REAL government- based on the Constitution, not the set of laws Obama sees fit to declare on a given day).
Sam says
Sad part is no one talking about this Muslim attack in Columbus OH where I live. Soon it will be totally forgotten.
I don’t know if America will ever wake up to Islam. So frustrating.
Donovan Nuera says
Hopefully the victims will allow the media to photograph their wounds just to show how sickening a machete attack can be and how horrible the wounds can be.
Then project the images every evening on a billboard adjacent to the local mosque like Cuban dissidents often do at the Cuban consulate building in NYC with photos of jailed and hunger-striking political prisoners(they actually project them onto that townhouse).
Donovan Nuera says
Better yet, a “Sty Burial” at a local Ohio hog farm…..heh heh heh
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article -” When Barry lunged at an officer with a machete and a knife in his hand, Columbus Police Officer John Johnson, a 25-year veteran of the force, fired two shots from his duty weapon, striking and killing Barry.”
Well done, John Johnson. Suddenly finding himself on the front line against the Jihad in the streets of … Columbus, Ohio, USA, he did exactly the right thing.
American jihadwatchers: you should contact John Johnson’s superiors ASAP and express your complete support – as informed citizens – for what he did to protect himself, his colleagues and the public from a rabid Jihadist ghazi raider who had already – with clearly murderous intent – attacked, terrorised and injured defenceless members of the public. ( That said Muslim had not in fact succeeded in murdering any of those he injured is immaterial; it’s pretty clear he was *trying* to murder) them.
Further thought:it’s worth reflecting that the entire course of this affair, from the Muslim’s entering the restaurant and slashing at patrons with a machete, to his attack upon the cops, to his being neutralised summarily by said cops, is *exactly* the same as that of the multiple jihad ghazi raids that have occurred in Israel in the past five months.
Perhaps those who write to John Johnson’s superiors should point out that parallel. Get them thinking.
