Indiana: Muslim migrant with hotel room overlooking Women’s March caught with ‘tricked out’ assault rifle

Mar 13, 2018 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine the uproar if Ahmed Alaklouk had not been a Muslim migrant. Any psychopath with an assault rifle and a hotel room overlooking the Women’s March would have been portrayed as a “right-wing extremist” and “white supremacist,” and there would have been endless media handwringing about the need to restrict the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. But you won’t hear anything about this in the establishment media at all.

“Man with hotel room overlooking Women’s March caught with ‘tricked out’ assault rifle, Indiana cops say,” by Jared Gilmour, Miami Herald, March 12, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

His black Chevrolet Avalanche was parked at an Indianapolis hotel in January on the day of the city’s Women’s March — and the vehicle was loaded with weapons, Indianapolis police said.

There was an AR-15-style rifle stowed between the front passenger seat and the middle console of the pickup, as well as six handguns scattered in the back, according to a criminal complaint. Concerned employees at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis had called police to investigate at 3 a.m. on Jan. 20 after they noticed the firearms in the vehicle.

When police spoke to the man the car was registered to — Ahmed Alaklouk, 22 — he admitted the car was his, and said the rifle belonged to his father. Noticing the weapon had been equipped with a scope, bipod and bump stock, police said they asked Alaklouk if it was in fact a bump stock. He responded yes, saying “it’s fully tricked out,” according to the criminal complaint.

Bump stocks are used to accelerate the firing rate of rifles. Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock used a bump stock during the October 2017 shooting he carried out at a music festival, killing 58 and injuring hundreds more with a rapid-fire spray of bullets from his hotel room overlooking the concert.

Alaklouk — a Saudi citizen and native of Tunisia — had no gun permit, an expired Indiana driver’s license and had been living in Indiana illegally on a terminated student visa since September 2017, according to the criminal complaint. He’s now facing federal charges for possessing a gun while living in the country illegally. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in federal prison.

The room he was staying at Jan. 20 overlooked the site of Indianapolis’ 2018 Women’s March, which drew about 3,500 women, the Indianapolis Star reports. But Alaklouk wasn’t arrested until about a week later, during a second gun-related incident, police said.

During their first encounter with Alaklouk at 3 a.m. on Jan. 20, police told him “not to leave firearms in the open due to the amount of vehicle break ins that occur in the downtown Indianapolis area,” the complaint said. Police told Alaklouk either to put the weapons in his hotel safe or keep them out of sight in the car.

At 7:45 a.m., though, hotel security checked to see if the weapons had been moved, and saw the rifle in the same place between the middle console and the passenger’s seat. Realizing his room overlooked the march, the hotel asked police to remove Alaklouk. Indianapolis police had Alaklouk and two unidentified men leave the room, according to the criminal complaint, and then authorities monitored Alaklouk that day as he went to the tire shop he owns in he city.

A week later, though, Alaklouk was in trouble again, police said.

This time a woman arrived at the shop with her father on Jan. 27 complaining of a shoddy tire. A disagreement over the tire escalated into violence — with Alaklouk grabbing the father by the neck and forcing him to the ground, according to the complaint. Then Alaklouk and one of his employees pulled out guns and pointed them at the father, investigators said.

At that point, the woman grabbed her own gun and fired a shot in the air, hoping to get the armed men away from her father, according to the complaint. Instead, Alaklouk had the employees detain the pair as he ran to get his assault rifle. When he returned with the AR-15-style weapon, he told the woman and her father: “If you leave I’ll f—-g kill you,” the complaint said.

As the woman got in the car to leave, Alaklouk kicked the vehicle and then blocked her car in with his own vehicle, the complaint said. The woman and her father called police, and when authorities arrived Alaklouk dropped his weapon….

Alaklouk told police he had been in the Saudi military before quitting, and wanted to join the U.S. Air Force, according to the complaint.

    Islam treats women as domestic animals. Islam culls ‘rogue’ women who are disobedient, just as a farmer would cull ‘rogue’ animals that cause problems for the farmer.

    Honor killing is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. (Psssst… they don’t want you know that… it’s in the SHARIA LAW manual…ANYONE who murders a blasphemer is in the clear…)

    Oh Yes, Alaklouk is Great, Illegal Immigrant Material. Indiana needs Vice President Mike Pence to untangle this Pro-Muslim Problem in their State.
    Violent Illegals from all corners of the Earth are coming to America, buying Slap-Stick Businesses & getting Special Treatment from Local GOVT.
    I believe that he has hopes to join the US Air Force & he just might be able to do it.
    Please be Wary of Muslims masquerading under the guise of “STUDENT”.

      If I’m reading this right…The police sure FAILED…Why would they just tell this guy to hide his weapons…..To
      my way of thinking something should have been done at the first encounter with this nut. Guess I’m missing something here.

        Mar 13, 2018 at 10:02 pm

        Well, I would defer to you, Tom on that…

        However, it must be very disconcerting to see Indiana go this direction.

        Just a lot of news about the Hoosier State has surfaced, and it shocks the rest of the nation,
        which likely has a more mild view on goings-on in the Union’s 17th most populous State.

        Would love to see the film “Hoosiers” released again in cinemas. Outstanding.

        But this latest round of news makes the H turn into an L, unfortunately….

    Another Islamic parasite (excuse the redundancy) in America, which country pioneered freedoms that no Islamic polity ever has, even remotely so—or ever will.

    You know, sometimes I’m not sure what bothers me more about Islam, its inveterate antipathy to freedom and complete inability to create it, or the way it uses the freedom established by others all the while with the intent to ultimately destroy that freedom. Close call I would contend, one that reasonable minds (sorry, this would exclude all Muslims and Leftists) could disagree about, preferably while enjoying some fine beer, liquor or wine.

    Either way, Islam should be detested. I surely detest it. I always will. Who of sense and knowledge, I would ask, could do otherwise? Might as well defend Nazism or Marxism as defend Islam.

    • gravenimage says

      Yes, Wellington–Muslims will use our freedoms to destroy us if we let them.

      Excused Sir.

      “one that reasonable minds (sorry, this would exclude all Muslims and Leftists) could disagree about, preferably while enjoying some fine beer, liquor or wine. ”

      I’ll stick to wine if any thinking needs doing. Beer excites while spirits calm. Wine expands.

      ” Might as well defend Nazism or Marxism as defend Islam.”

      Tails gets you Nazism, heads Marxism.

    Shooting up a gay bar didn’t change many people’s minds about the threat of Islam. Even gay men suddenly became extra virtuous (an announced it) – “Don’t blame Muslims”.

    Would killing feminists force people to face the truth? What is more important to a leftist: lives or ideas? Evidence says ideas.

    I started to write something here, but I cannot find the words beyond the following.

    Since I live in Minnesota, and see so clearly how useless the authorities and politicians here are relating to all this, I almost have no words left..

    People are getting stabbed here, shot here, dying here, raped here, and it almost like it is not happening at all..

    They continue to fall into the trap of getting caught up on discussions about “religion”, “diversity”, the wonders of “multiculturalism”; instead of identifying this as it actually is; a brutal political ideology, hiding behind a quasi-religious cult…and using OUR US Constitution as cover for their “sharia law” playbook for their brutal mischief…

    These people are animals, who cannot even get along with each other, let alone anyone civilized.

    This is all so breathtaking, and unimaginable now..

    Indiana: Muslim migrant with hotel room overlooking Women’s March caught with ‘tricked out’ assault rifle

    If only 10 million people read JW every day, jihadist terrorism would be a thing of the past. In fact, Islam would be a thing of the past, because mentally-enslaved Muslims would be revolted by Islam and their slavemasters, the bloodthirsty perverted imams.

    Yeah, and at 376 yards, he would have killed a lot more without the stupid bump stock.
    I can see Robert Spencer fell for the stupid statements of the gun control crowd.
    Ever use a bump stock?
    Ever engage targets at 376 yards?

    • Bezelel says

      Mar 13, 2018 at 9:56 pm

      Indiana Tom, Without knowing Robert’s opinion on bump stocks, I will say that he is more than deserving of the benefit of the doubt on any subject. The article isn’t presented as his opinion. As I read it, it is more like relaying someone elses words. That being said, I have fired a bump stocked AR and deemed it useless to anyone but ammo manufacturers.They are prone to jam and I don’t think the bi pod would work well with the product. If bump stocks were worth a dam, Uncle Sam could save a lot of money and issue AR’s with bump stocks. I have fired an M 16 on full auto prior to the burst selection. Ever try to fire a 3 rnd burst without it being on the selector? Ain’t happening. 5 or 6 never got 3. I’m with you on the challenge of staying on target at long range and the useless bump stock, just not with judging Robert, he’s been around for sure.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 15, 2018 at 12:22 am

      Indiana Tom, Robert Spencer is just presenting this article, not specifically making any point about “bump stocks”.

      Surely you are actually concerned about this Jihadist and his targeting this march?

  15. Indiana Tom says

    Mar 13, 2018 at 9:11 pm

    Alaklouk — a Saudi citizen and native of Tunisia — had no gun permit,
    I honestly dunno if he really needed one.
    In general, non-immigrant aliens are forbidden to possess any firearms or ammunition. But there is a big exception for a legal alien who:
    …is in possession of a hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States
    (See Title 18, USC Chapter 44, Section 922, part (y)(2) for details.)
    Green-card holders and immigrant aliens who do not yet have their green card are both okay under federal law, although many people (including gun dealers, law enforcement officers, etc.) are not aware of the distinction or the hunting license exception, and erroneously think that either you have a green card, or you can’t have guns.
    Also, non-citizen cannot purchase a firearm from a federally licensed firerams dealer unless they have been a resident of their state for 90 days. So, no, tourists on short visits cannot walk into guns stores to get “protection” during their trip. Sorry. (I’ve been asked that multiple times.)
    Citizens of Indiana do not need any permit for a long gun.

      as well as six handguns scattered in the back, according to a criminal complaint.
      This may or may not have been grounds for arrest. If the handguns were not loaded?
      INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana’s new handgun law goes into effect next week. It allows people to carry a handgun without a license under the following conditions:
      – if they are on their own property
      – it it’s unloaded in their vehicle
      – if a handgun is carried to a shooting range for an instructional course or during legal hunting
      – or if the handgun is unloaded and securely wrapped.

    At that point, the woman grabbed her own gun and fired a shot in the air, hoping to get the armed men away from her father, according to the complaint.
    Bad idea. Either you are in fear for your life and others, or you are not.
    Courts can turn this around and make the victim the perp.
