Do we have another case of “sudden jihad syndrome,” this time in San Francisco? Omeed Aziz Popal, recently returned from Afghanistan, went on a road-rage rampage through the streets of San Francisco, killing 1 person and leaving at least 14 injured. This very intentional, homicidal act ended near a Jewish community center. Officer.com notes that the suspect was “apparently rational and unrepentant.” At least the California governor’s head is clear:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called the spree “a malicious and hateful act” in a statement issued this evening.
“I want to commend authorities for working diligently to identify and arrest the motorist. Acts of hate such as this will not be tolerated in California. Maria and I send our condolences to the family of the fatally injured victim. Our prayers are also with those who were critically injured and we wish them a speedy recovery,” he said.
