Muslim YouTube user arrested after livestreaming bomb threat hoax at University of Washington

Jun 5, 2018 10:40 am By Robert Spencer

It was just a prank. There was no actual bomb. But it was good for laughs, right? What could be funnier than announcing to a roomful of Infidels that they’re about to die a horrible death? And it has the added bonus effect of striking terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah (cf. Qur’an 8:60).

“Arab Andy” is just an irresponsible and reckless prankster who has now gotten himself into serious trouble by taking his pranks too far. That he would choose to do this particular prank is a dispiriting sign of the times.

“Jammal Harraz charged with bomb threat over ‘Arab Andy’ YouTube prank video,” by Andrew Blake, Washington Times, June 2, 2018:

Police have charged a person with making a bomb threat over a stunt streamed live on the internet from the University of Washington this week.

Jammal Hassan Harraz was arrested Thursday evening over an apparent prank broadcast live on YouTube from a classroom inside the university’s Seattle campus.

Mr. Harraz remained in jail Saturday after a judge set bail at $75,000, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office website. He’s due back in court June 5, Seattle’s KOMO News reported.

Footage originally streamed from the “Arab Andy” channel on YouTube showed the incident unfolding moments after a person later identified as Mr. Harraz entered the room and began filming with their phone.

“I didn’t recognize him, so I say are you supposed the be here,” an eyewitness told the student paper, The Daily.

Seconds later, an ominous message began playing from a speaker that police said was attached to the person streaming.

“Attention,” the audio message said. “C4 has been successfully activated. Bomb detonation countdown successfully started.”

YouTube has removed the video from the “Arab Andy” channel, but archived copies show people fleeing the room as the speaker started emitting a series of loud beeps.

Police subsequently identified Mr. Harraz as the suspect and apprehended him off campus moments later with his cellphone in hand, still streaming.

“The investigation revealed this was a prank and there was no device on him or left in the room,” University of Washington Police said afterwards. “UWPD, in collaboration with Seattle fire and Seattle police, determined there was no ongoing danger.”….

    If he were still President, Hussein Obama would invite this guy to the WH.

      If Obama had a son, he would look like him.

    And he thinks that everyone is going to just love and respect him all the more after this? Oh sorry, these people don’t need to bother about things like that, since their inherent superiority means that they’re destined to dominate the place anyway. We should all know that.

    He’d better stay in gun-free zones. Otherwise, he’s likely to not survive his next prank. Not sure everyone will run every time. There will be a few Captain Americas that will take him out. (And I don’t mean on a date!)

    Old one eyebrow Arab Andy looks the part of the suicide bomber doesn’t he. He’s as hairy as a Neanderthal & has about the same intelligence.

    Deport. He has cost state taxpayers funds in activating security on campus. Plus now jail and court costs. Send him back to where ever. Cancel his degree. Too stupid (and cruel) for words.
