Like…WHUT
Considering what broke yesterday about the upstanding Suffolk County Sheriff, whose jurisdiction includes Boston, the jail there, and who is a close socialist ally working in concert with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, these sorts of after-the-fact revelations shouldn’t be surprising.
But if it were a normal city, they’d sure as hell be infuriating.
So the story broke that a man associated with something called the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL) had been arrested for a series of ‘vandalism acts’ last month, and faced charges in a Boston courthouse yesterday.
For the record, his name is not ‘Bill Smith,’ either.
…Jermaiah Yusuf Sawaqed, 25, of Everett, was arrested Thursday and appeared in Boston Municipal Court.
…On July 23, white paint was poured on the State House gate, and concrete columns were spray-painted. Video from the scene showed paint splattered on a concrete pillar and the State House steps. The suspect also appeared to attempt to write the words “Divest” or “Divert” on a concrete pillar.
The suspect, later identified as Sawaqed, fled into the Boston Common, which prompted a search with members of the FBI and the Massachusetts State Police.
Note to self: Don’t leave footprints for cops to track you with. Wipe your damn feet.
Second note: Don’t drop your IEDs in the common areas. Someone might get hurt.
…A trooper observed “white paint footprints” believed to have been left by Sawaqed as he fled and two suspicious objects, which were believed to be homemade improvised explosive devices, according to a criminal complaint.
It turns out he had another in his car when cops finally found him and it. Classically, it’s not his car. He’s driving his mummy’s Subaru.
…When he was taken into custody last week, officials searched a vehicle belonging to the suspect’s mother that Sawaqed used and found traces of white paint and a device consistent with those discovered on the Boston Common. Several DAMPL fliers and two empty gasoline cans were also found.
They arrested her, too.
HE’S A GOOD BOY
…Sawaqed’s mother, Naila Dahabrah, said her son is innocent and is being punished for his views on Gaza.
“He does not belong to any group. They have no evidence,” she said.
According to court documents, Dahabrah was arrested for assault and battery on a police officer after she spat in the face of a detective who was serving a search warrant last week.
Terrorists don’t fall far from the tree, do they?
In any event, these Palestinian turds are a dime a keffiyah wrapped dozen, except for the exciting news about the IEDs. Boston police and investigators hadn’t bothered to release that information when word of the vandalism at the statehouse first broke.
It sort of reminds me of Katie Hopkins and that famous ‘Just a bomb in a bin’ line of hers from the grenade in the wastebasket outside the police station in Sweden. Like, how can you be so sanguine, or not tell anyone about it at all, as local law enforcement?
Some surly types think it might have been nice to know there was a mad bomber running around the city prior to the woke patrol picking him up and taking him into custody.
I know – the nerve.
According to authorities, this tiny wanna-be terrorist cell only launched this past spring and has already caused some nasty damage. This particular scummy character was front and central in videos for the nascent group, and already on the authorities’ radar.
…Authorities allege Sawaqed has ties to a group known as the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), described in court documents as “an extreme anti-Zionist organization that publicly advocates for criminal ‘direct action’ against entities it associates with Israel, capitalism, and imperialism.” The group launched in the spring and includes a network of anti-Israel activists who operate in the U.S. and abroad, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Per Sawaqed’s criminal complaint, DAMPL has taken credit for several acts of vandalism in Massachusetts, including at the State House, the George Washington statue in the Public Garden, and the Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Authorities further allege Sawaqed “has been identified as a central and active participant in a series of organized, politically motivated acts of vandalism targeting prominent public institutions.”
I also hope, once they read the vile outfit’s Instagram post bragging about the various vandalism acts and particularly the description of the paint at the statehouse, that everyone got tetnus shots who had been on clean-up detail or came in contact with the foul, noxious, potentially hazardous stuff in the Subaru.
…According to the complaint, investigators used social media and phone records to link Sawaqed to an Instagram account that claimed responsibility for the State House vandalism through a post that read, “This morning, the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation targeted the Massachusetts State House with paint mixed with feces and lit homemade flars [sic] on its gates…”
I mean, dear God – law enforcement heard all this, found the IEDs and still never told the people of Boston, ‘this is what’s running around town with bio-waste paint and explosives?’
I don’t know – maybe be vigilant until we catch this guy?
How many more of this group are out there? Does anybody care?
Pro-Palestine Islamist had “discarded two homemade IED’s in the Boston Commons”…and the lede is about vandalism?
Really?
Also…what patterns are we seeing here?
Here’s one:

In any other circumstances in any other city, that would be a wholly facetious question. But I’m serious.
‘Oh, no worries about those. Even if we don’t have him, we picked them up off the grass!’
Bomb in a bin mentality.
I mean, it would bother me, wondering what we weren’t being told.
I guess it’s no biggie in Boston.
