Please Welcome Your Houston Rockets!
By Wyatt Earp | January 2, 2010
Rob in Katy sent me this story, and after reading it three times, I still have a lot of questions.
HOUSTON — A woman called police on Monday and said a man was forcing his way into her apartment in the 5300 block of Elm Street.
When officers went inside, they found something that made them concerned enough to call the bomb squad. They found an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It can shoot a missile nearly 1,000 feet through buildings and tanks.
“It gives infantrymen the advantage with an ultra-light weapon that can stop vehicles, armored vehicles as well as main battle tanks and fortifications,” said Oscar Saldivar of Top Brass Military and Tactical on the North Freeway.
And it is just perfect for your home defense needs. Especially if you need to defend your home
The woman did tell police that the rocket launcher belonged to Nabilaye I. Yansane, someone whom she allowed to store items at her apartment.
Fabulous. The rocket launcher belonged to man whose name is “insane.”
According to court documents, officers also found Jihadist writings that allegedly belonged to Yansane.
Yansane was charged with criminal trespassing and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to three days in jail, which he has already served. No charges related to the rocket launcher or writings were filed.
Prosecutors said there are no state charges for having the unarmed launcher or possessing Jihadist writings, unless they contain some type of threat.
Rocket launcher. Jihadist writings. Yeah, nothing to see here, right?
The former director of Houston’s FBI office said rocket launchers can be dangerous if they’re in the wrong hands.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!!
Houston police said they did a thorough investigation and did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network.
Whew! That makes me feel better. I was getting a little worried, but if the Houston P.D. says a Muslim who gets his kicks penning jihadist writings and is in possession of a rocket launcher has no terrorist ties, that’s good enough for me.
Idiots.

Oy vey! I’m utterly speechless. (Well, I’m not, but the words I would say would hurt the family blog atmosphere.)

Captain – Friggin’ unbelievable, isn’t it?
RT – Yeah, I muttered a few “sentence enhancers” too.
January 2nd, 2010 at 8:53 pm
What. The. F***. ?
This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

I believe in the 2nd amendment about the right to bear arms. I have never owned a frigging rocket launcher but based on where this pc country is going I guess it is time to shop.
Does anyone know how much they cost? I might have to raid my 401K. I wonder what the wife will say when it arrives.

Bethany said she wants an AT4 because she’s four years old. Maybe it’s time to look into it….

Call me crazy, but if you have the “terrorist handbook” aka Koran, I think that makes you one of those, uh, Baptists, yeah that’s it Baptists!
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:21 pm
And we wonder why we’re in this mess?

Wow, this lady has to be dumber than a box of rocks not to see what is going on right in front of her eyes. So was the intruder looking for a rocket launcher?

I can only imagine how that conversation went:
“Hey, my apartment is really small, do you mind if I store a few things at your place? It’s just a few boxes of summer clothes, my album collection, and a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher.”

The rocket launcher is considered an engagement present. For the wedding, the couple is registered for enriched plutonium at Iranian Reactors-R-Us!
January 3rd, 2010 at 3:27 am
Now THAT would make an excellent addition to my collection!!
January 3rd, 2010 at 7:22 am
It would be interesting to know what other “things” he was storing at her apartment.

If that is what I think it is, it is a one shot LAW (Light Anti Tank Weapon) and if it is expended, it is only good to give the police a reason to shoot at you. I wonder how many times the police would fire at some one who takes it out on the street and shouts Allah……….. I can’t spell the rest of the saying those Muslins speak a foreign language and its hard enough to spell this scheidt in english. MUD

I wonder if the guy could tell me where to get my hands on a couple more of those? I’m a great shot with ‘em and I sure get sick of the speeders in my neighborhood.
January 3rd, 2010 at 2:36 pm
WTF? The guy is a jihadist, but there is nothing to worry about? Is Janet Napolitano in charge of the Houston PD too?
They only cost about $1,500.00 so you don’t have to raid the 401k, but you may have to buy 500 of them to get that unit price.

Captain Obvious and Janet should get married, then their nicknames combine to Obvious Idiot. Wow and salad forks can be dangerous if in the wrong hands too. LOLOL

Raptor – Sadly, no joke. And it’s not funny.
Ralph – Where would you go to plink, though?
Kim – It’ll ward off unwanted advances from nerdy boys.
Rob – Lousy pagans!
LDIV – It’s because the p.c. world won’t let us call criminals criminals.
MeToo – Probably picking up “the package” Mr. Yansane left for him.
Mrs. Crankipants – And keep the rocket launcher out of the storage area. I don’t want it to get rusty.
Proof – I should have put them on my registry.
RAPH – Put it on a gun rack in your pickup.
CP – A PU-36 Space Modulator. He is going to blow up the Earth.
MUD – It’s usually “Lalalalalalalalalalala! BOOM!”
Sally Anne – And perfect when Lazy Bones doesn’t want to take out the trash.
Ingineer66 – Buy them in bulk at Sam’s Club.
Jon – It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?

What you folks need to realize that Houston is a sanctuary city. Illegals all over the place. The good people of Houston just elected a gay woman mayor at which point the police chief quit. Should tell you a little about the mindset of city politics.
