Angry, mentally unstable people exist in public across America. Like violent criminals who are used to bullying people, sometimes the smallest thing can flip mental cases into a murderous rage. Take the case of a former Afghan interpreter, Jamal Wali, 36, brought to America in 2014.
A few short weeks ago, during a simple traffic stop, a snarling Wali spouted whole lot of vile hatred for America — and regret that he didn’t work for the Taliban — before pulling his gun on Fairfax County Police officers.
With murderous intent, he tried to kill the officers present. Moreover, he almost succeeded, wounding two cops before his would-be homicidal, irrational rampage ended after the wily Mr. Wali absorbed four rounds of return fire.
As if America doesn’t have enough mental cases, we’ve imported some from third-world hellholes. Whatever the reason, there are plenty more out there, both homegrown and immigrants Wali who hate America, hate themselves, or just plain hate life. This is why we should carry everyday.
Because one never knows when you’re going to run into a nutcase who might decide that a declined EBT card is reason enough to start killing people in a supermarket. Or that a traffic stop is reason enough to start trying to kill cops.
Watch the video of the incident (bodycam footage starts at 13:40) . . .
Officials released bodycam footage showing the chaotic moments leading up to a deadly officer-involved shooting in Fairfax, Virginia, in April. In a press release accompanying the footage, the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) called the incident an “attempted murder.”
On April 23, an officer pulled over 36-year-old Jamal Wali for speeding. Wali also had an expired safety inspection sticker. When he was pulled over, Wali slammed on the brakes, something the officer who initially approached Wali’s vehicle noted.
Wali then informed the officer he was armed and asked why he was being pulled over. From there, the situation took a chaotic turn as a clearly distressed Wali began shouting, cursing, refusing to give his name and saying he had no driver’s license or registration for the vehicle.
Long story short: carry a gun. Every day.
