Why were there a dozen gasoline canisters around an airport rental SUV?
Not everything that looks like a duck is a duck and car accidents have been known to happen, but the gasoline can part of it raises a lot of red flags.
Two people were killed and five others, including three pedestrians, were injured early Monday in a crash outside the Kodak Center following a New Year’s Eve concert.
Police said a Ford Expedition traveling east on West Ridge Road struck a Mitsubishi Outlander that was pulling out of a parking lot around 12:50 a.m., killing two adult passengers in the Mitsubishi.
So far not so strange. And then it gets strange.
Police said one of the three vehicles involved exploded, and a police officer and numerous pedestrians were almost struck by one of the vehicles.
Police also reportedly located at least a dozen gasoline canisters in and around the Ford Expedition, causing the Rochester Police Department Bomb Squad and the Joint Arson Task Force to respond to the scene.
Why were there a dozen gasoline canisters around a car that had been rented at the airport?
Law enforcement officials confirmed to ABC News that the driver of the Ford Expedition is from Syracuse and that he drove his own vehicle to the airport in Syracuse where he rented the extra-large SUV.
So let’s say he wanted to transport a bunch of gasoline cans, for unclear reasons, why is he renting an SUV and not something better suited for the job?
Just before the crosswalk in front of the venue, an eastbound Ford Expedition hit a Mitsubishi Outlander that was leaving the parking lot.
“The force of the collision caused the two vehicles to go through a group of pedestrians that were in the crosswalk and then into two other vehicles. There was a large fire associated with the crash that took the Rochester Fire Department almost one hour to extinguish,” said Rochester Police Chief David Smith.
If you were an idiot terrorist and trying to detonate near a bunch of people around a concert, this is something you might do.
Might. We don’t know any basic details but it wasn’t all that long ago that Mohamad Barakat, a Muslim terrorist, tried to pull off that kind of attack in Fargo.
A photo was released of 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat and several photos have been released showing what investigators found inside Barakat’s car, including multiple guns, vests, knives, 1,800 live rounds of ammunition, three containers filled with gas, and two propane tanks filled with homemade explosives, as well as a homemade grenade.
Two Muslim terrorists tried something similar at the Glasgow Airport back in 2007 (before Scotland was officially taken over by Islamic terrorists).
We don’t know what happened in Rochester, but Rochester does have 25,000 Muslim settlers because it became a resettlement hub which means that it’s also a danger zone. In 2016 alone, Rochester suffered from over 1,000 ‘resettlements’ by settlers.
It also means that local officials will be in no hurry to reveal anything politically unhelpful.

The Lefties will claim that the driver filled the vehicle with explosive/flammable materials, and crashed it because he felt “rejected” by a “cruel, heartless Christian meritocratic democracy!”

Alan knight : or maybe he was mad because of Islamophobia 😂, I guarantee you the western media controlled by the left including here in Canada world blame it on mental illness as always 😂 . As a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq , I wanna say that our Iraqi Christian community usually say especially older people “ if the western governments had had two” kilos” of shame and zeal , they would have kicked all Muslims out of the West and would have never taken in any Muslim . But as the following proverb goes like “ Talk to a brick wall .

A refresher on Barakat, the Muslim terrorist’s attack in Fargo.
Left out of the article was the arsenal in his apartment. Bluemont Apartment Village is a HUGE complex which had to be completely evacuated.

I saw about three hours ago on TV an FBI spokesman say there is no evidence that this “event” in Rochester, NY is linked to terrorism. But why be in such a rush to make this statement? Yes, this crime and tragedy might be the action of a simply deranged man with no link to terrorism but since the FBI no longer has any credibility with a huge portion of the American people such a statement, whatever the final determination, means nothing.
Malignant clowns like Comey, Wray, Strzok and Page are responsible for this cynicism. Yes, they surely are.
Pray Hard says
There’s always a rush to make that typical bullsh*t statement.

Good point. “Authorities” are too quick to label jihadist type activities as mentally ill, criminal, possibly terrorist…… but you hardly ever hear that a terrorist act by a Muslim was because of Islam.

“…you hardly ever hear that a terrorist act by a Muslim was because of Islam.”
I’ll go out on a limb and say NEVER – by a Western mainstream media outlet.

Given the 2 stories that we had on jihadwatch earlier today about Hamas supporters marching in NYC calling for the genocide of Jews, and blocking the roads to JFK, it would seem that there already was!

It is not that unusual for a cowardly suicidal person to “take others” with him/her. If it is indeed suicide, the method was a little unusual, but may have been only the means available to an irrational mind.

Why, all those beautiful people coming legally illegally from those Marxist, Islamist, and Narc states, bringing with them their ‘white supremacist’ and ‘Christian Nationalist agendas’, why how dare they!
