WFLA Investigative Reporter Shannon Behnken Has Ignored Several Customer Requests to Look Into Shady Practices of Red Cap Plumbing Tampa, Why?

UPDATED: RED CAP PLUMBING TAMPA STILL AT IT. Nita M. San Francisco, CA Tuesday Jan 7th, 2025. Nita M. has updated her YELP review; Update- Red Cap Plumbing replaced my sewer line last year, 2024. In the process they caused water damage. Red Cap sent a 'water remediation company' to make the repairs. I find out today, 6 months later in Jan 2025 that Red Cap never paid the company. The water remediation company (sub-contractor) sent me a bill of more than $5,700. BEWARE- don't use this company, Red Cap Plumbing Tampa Fl.

Back on April 11th, 2024, Red Cap Plumbing charged me $408 on a simple sink drain clog problem, they advertised a $99 special to unclog a sink drain, why so much more? I have requested a refund of the difference between the advertised price of $99 for simple drain unclog and the exhortative $408 that Red Cap Plumbing made me pay for same work! Red Cap Plumbing did a in-drain camera inspection of the pipes on April 11th, 2024, the Red Cap Tech Erick Young got the camera stuck in the sink drain pipe and forcefully tried to rip the camera out causing damage to the pipes, but camera still stuck in pipe. Erick Young is about 6' 2" tall and at least 320 lbs. Two more Red Cap Plumbing goons showed up and they attempted to drill a hole in the outside wall of my house, through a stucco wall on concrete block, no! The Two Red Cap goons then cut a hole in the wall under the sink to get Tech Erick Young's camera out. They did not repair hole in the wall under kitchen sink, I did.

Kelly Parker From: kparker@redcapnow.com UPDATE Dec 31st, 2024, got a e-mail message from Kelly Parker (controller) at Red Cap Plumbing Tampa Fl claims she will send a check for $250 to me for the Red Cap damage to my house, that I repaired, we'll see. Red Cap Plumbing check received for $250, drawn on Wells Fargo bank, they paid me on Jan 4th, 2025, 8 months after the initial complaint on April 11th, 2024, not a very timely response from these goons!

photo credit freepic clip journalist free.. I am surprised that some enterprising investigative journalist like WFLA TV Shannon Behnken in Tampa has not looked into all the complaints filed against Red Cap Plumbing? Connie B at Red Cap has reignited a 'internet flame war' that had laid dormant for months. She has poked me and it resulted in my posting this article to my website originally on June 26, 2024 (updated today Dec 30th, 2024) and to the BBB of Clearwater and any social media I can find that links to Red Cap Plumbing. This article will be constantly updated over the next few weeks as I dig deeper into Red Cap Plumbing Tampa Fl and the people who work there, like Tech Erick Young, and what appears to be now a TRUE CRIME STORY

COMPLAINT BY FORMER WFLA TV EMPLOYEE; WFLA TV Investigative reporter Shannon Behnken's boss appears to be News Director David Ciliberti. A former NEWS anchor who was making $75,000 a year and worked with a photographer everyday for David Ciliberti and WFLA TV posted the following scathing critique March 24, 2021 on Rate My Station;

Rate MY Station; WFLA News Director: David Ciliberti, Experience described him as: “A horrendous news director and downright vicious human being.”

Rate MY Station; While working for WFLA this person experienced:
An Overall Toxic Work Environment. “The WFLA-TV newsroom is vitriolic and incredibly toxic. Overall, it’s a terrible place.”

Rate MY Station; This person describes the overall newsroom environment as: Unorganized, Negative, Toxic

Rate MY Station; Additional comments: “Those wishing to work at WFLA-TV should consult with former or current staffers before joining. The station’s current news director, David Ciliberti, is a horrible person and lousy manager. He cannot and should never be trusted. Many people have left under his atrocious leadership.”

It has come to my attention that the Tampa Fl Red Cap Plumbing Tech, who goes by Eric, the guy who tore out the pipes to my kitchen sink, is actually Erick Young see his ID badge for Red Cap Plumbing above which was provided to me by yet another disgusted Red Cap Plumbing customer. It has also been called to my attention that other disgruntled and disgusted customers of Erick Young and Red Cap Plumbing lost thousands of dollars in the so called Hydro Flush scam (to supposedly to clean out old pipes) and that these customers also contacted Tampa's WFLA Shannon Behnken for help, "she never responded to us claimed the customer", see her story below!

Screenshot photo credit WFLA radio Tampa 8/02/2010. UPDATE Dec 30th, 2024, Why Has WFLA Investigative Reporter Shannon Behnken Ignored My Request to Look Into Practices of Red Cap Plumbing in Tampa? PAY TO PLAY; Apparently WFLA Tampa has had a long standing relationship with Red Cap Plumbing and John Gennaro who is the license holder for the company. John Gennaro was the prior owner/president and founder of Red Cap Plumbing. In August 2010 WFLA RADIO launched an on-air program for listeners to call in about home improvement projects. “The Home Improvement Show” hosted by Joseph Gennaro and John Gennaro (Red Cap Plumbing) debuted in the Tampa Bay area on Clear Channel’s WFLA-AM (970 AM) on 7/31.“The Home Improvement Show” features listeners asking questions about their DIY or remodeling projects. Guest professionals and experts will also answer questions from listeners on the show, which airs every Saturday from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. “The listeners are calling in with home improvement project problems and concerns. It’s great to help them with advice from a professional,” said Joseph Gennaro. Is this why Red Cap Plumbing gets a pass for any in depth investigation of their Bait & Switch and Unauthorized Credit Card Billing? I have contacted investigative reporter Shannon Behnken at WFLA TV about the rampant problems with Red Cap Plumbing, as others have, complaints can be seen on Yelp and the BBB of Southwest Fl, but I have been ignored and so have others, read on there's much, much more.

RED CAP PLUMBING COMPLAINT SENT TO WFLA SHANNON BEHNKEN;  From J.S. Clearwater Fl; "They (Red Cap) had my elderly husband "finger sign" a bunch of stuff on an iPad with just a big rectangle showing (just like what I did in Sarasota). Erick Young (Red Cap) had emailed us in Clearwater the stuff we signed on 23 Nov 2022 but there was no invoice in that email. We never saw the "invoice" until 1 Dec 2022, when I called about the work not being done by Red Cap, the man who answered the phone emailed it to us. The charge to us was $8,000.00. A video of our drains, months later, proved they did not do it or anything on the estimate, I have the video on a thumb drive. All they did was damage. In the investigation by Mr Yeshua Stathos (former president of Red Cap), we told him we signed nothing on the 25 of Nov. The Red Cap Plumbing manager (Brian McGuinness) had emailed us a photo of the iPad with the invoice on it. We showed that to Mr Yeshua Stathos, he could tell from the photo of the iPad that it was Erick Young's iPad (red cap), he looked at work records and using his phone and showed us that Erick was not even in Clearwater on that date and there is no way we could have signed that invoice on that date. I had called, FB messaged and my husband emailed Bhenken (Shannon WFLA), she never responded. The AG said to tell DBPR, I sent them a 34 page report full of documents. DBPR said it was a civil matter untill we sent them the Fl Statute 489.126 - they then did an investigation, a year later (Nov of 23), and Red Cap had sold, the plumbing manager was fired and Red Cap gave the bank back all the money, so DPBR did nothing. Pinellas County consumer protection actually got Brian McGuinness to admit in an email that the work was not done, he said all the stuff on the estimate "auto populates", they closed the case as more than they handle. Hillsborough consumer protection closed the case as Red Cap would not respond, same thing with FDACS. Wetherell later responded to FDACS, after they closed the case due to no response, his response was out and out lies. I told FDACS and sent them the proof BUT the case was closed so they did not even acknowledge me. It seems that there are a lot of people who did not do their job. Our State Rep, Kimberly Berfield sent a query (after I sent her a report) to DBPR as to why they dropped the ball on this, I never heard any more on it. If you (Bill Warner PI) manage to find anyone interested in looking into Red Cap, I will gladly provide our documents. This crap happens because no one will do anything about it - I plan to send a report about how these tax funded agencies do nothing." Do your job 'Better Call Behnken'!

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody & WFLA Better-Call-Behnken Need to Investigate Red Cap Plumbing Tampa for Bait & Switch and Unauthorized Credit Card Billing. "Better Call Shannon Behnken" WFLA Tampa Fl.

April 11th, 2024, BAD NEWS COMPANY, Red Cap Plumbing tech did a simple drain pipe clean out under our sink from the kitchen and out to septic tank, they advertised a $99 special, but I paid $408 for same work, no real reason why was given. Bait and switch is a morally suspect sales tactic that lures customers in with specific claims about the quality or low prices on items that turn out to be unavailable in order to upsell them on a similar, pricier item. Then later, received a $16.99 charge/deduction on my debit/credit card today from Red Cap Plumbing, I did not approve any such charge. Appears that they have a so-called "Annually $269 - Monthly $16.99. No Dispatch Fee EVER", I never signed up for this.

BACK ON JUNE 26, 2024: Outrageous, Red Cap Plumbing Tampa sent me a bill today for the damage they created in my kitchen. I threw these bums out and I did the repair work to the wall under the sink that their tech's damaged and camera tech Eric initiated. The Florida Attorney General needs to investigate Red Cap Plumbing 7218 E M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Tampa, FL 33619. I was instructed to contact Connie Bergeron Red Cap Plumbing collection specialist in Tampa Fl, call Phone (813) 448-6379 or Phone (813) 596-3030, at Red Cap so she can take my credit card info to pay invoice of $198.99 for repair work that I did in my own home, not Red Cap.

On April 11, 2024, the Red Cap Plumbing tech did a simple drain pipe clean out under our sink from the kitchen and out to septic tank, they advertised a $99 special, but I paid $408 for same work, no real reason why was given. Bait and switch is a morally suspect sales tactic that lures customers in with specific claims about the quality or low prices on items that turn out to be unavailable in order to upsell them on a similar, pricier item. It is considered a form of retail sales fraud, though it takes place in other contexts.

MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR RED CAP PLUMBING TAMPA FL.
1). The Red Cap Plumbing reviews on YELP for the most part are very negative, just like mine, with 1 star ratings. See https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-cap-plumbing-air-and-electric-tampa

2). Better Business Bureau South-West Fl complaints for Red Cap Plumbing & Air are off the chart, very bad reviews, see mine, https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/tampa/profile/plumber/red-cap-plumbing-air-and-electric-0653-90016620/complaints

*Most Recent BBB Customer Negative Review of Red Cap Plumbing Tampa Fl.

Constance B ...1 star on 06/20/2024 Beware of Price gouging! I have a home warranty membership with Red Cap. In the last two visits, I have raised concern about the aggressive up-selling from the technicians. But today, was the most serious of all, see the whole story here https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/tampa/profile/plumber/red-cap-plumbing-air-and-electric-0653-90016620/customer-reviews#0653_90016620_278840

BACK ON APRIL 11, 2024: RED CAP PLUMBING DISASTER - HOW DO YOU GIVE NEGATIVE STARS ON YELP. Do not use Red Cap Plumbing out of Tampa Fl, ever! Red Cap came to my house today, Thursday April 11, 2024, their Tech did simple drain pipe clean out under sink and out to septic tank, they advertised a $99 special, but I had to pay $408 for the same exact work, with no valid explanation given, SCAMMERS.

The Red Cap Plumbing tech on April 11, 2024 claimed I needed to have another tech with a pipe camera come to my house to check out the pipes for the reason for blockage. Red Cap Plumbing camera tech Eric shows up, puts camera down sink drain pipe, sees other possible problems recommends huge upsell for "Hydro Flush" at $3,500, it turned out this was a scam as the drain never clogged again. 

I say go ahead, but Red Cap tech Eric can not get his pipe drain camera out of the drain pipe under the sink, so he pulls as hard as he can, (camera tech Eric is about 6' tall and in excess of 320 lbs), and tears out PVC piping under my sink and his camera is still stuck about 4 feet into the sink drain pipe at the elbow junction. 

Red Cap camera tech Eric called for back-up that took what feels like hours on April 11, 2024. In the meantime Red Cap camera tech Eric made himself comfortable and came into my living room and sat down on my leather sofa to watch the baseball game playing on TV, he never took off his filthy sewage gloves or washed his hands. See Red Cap Plumbing camera tech Eric in pic above. 

Same day April 11, 2024, but much later, 2 more Red Cap techs show up with mini jack hammer and hammer drills and they proceed to set up outside to begin ripping out section of my exterior wall, (stucco on concrete block) to get camera tech Eric's so called $10,000 pipe camera out form my sink drain pipe. These 2 Red Cap goons never asked permission to bust through outside stucco wall by my front door, WTH! 

ENOUGH, THIS IS FINAL STRAW FOR RED CAP PLUMBING GOONS, STOP EVERYTHING AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND OFF MY PROPERTY. YOU ARE NOT TEARING OUT A SECTION OF MY OUTSIDE STUCCO ON CONCRETE BLOCK WALL (ABOUT 20 INCHES THICK) BY MY FRONT DOOR TO GET RED CAP PLUMBING TECH ERIC'S CAMERA OUT OF MY SINK DRAIN PIPE, JUST TOTAL INCOMPETENCE, FOOLS ALL OF THEM. IT WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $2,800 TO REPAIR MY OUTSIDE STUCCO ON CONCRETE BLOCK WALL IF I LET THESE GOONS DESTROY IT! ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH RED CAP PLUMBING TAMPA IS NOW TRESPASSED OFF OF MY PROPERTY.

UPDATE UNAUTHORIZED BILLING TO MY CREDIT CARD: May 15th, 2024, received a $16.99 charge/deduction on my Regions debit/credit card today from Red Cap Plumbing, I did not approve any such charge. Appears that they have a so-called "Annually $269 - Monthly $16.99. "No Dispatch Fee EVER", I never signed up for this. Joe the guy who answered the phone today at Red Cap Plumbing said he would cancel the charge, he did. On and on it goes with Red Cap Plumbing and their deceptive business practices. How many other Tampa Bay area residents are unknowingly being charged $16.99 a month for the Red Cap "No Dispatch Fee EVER", is it 100 customers, 500 customers or even 1,000 customers billed $16.99 a month by Red Cap, check your credit card billing statements. I would suggest that WFLA Shannon Behnken "Better Call Behnken" investigate Red Cap Plumbing, Address: 7218 E M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Tampa, FL 33619 Phone: (813) 596-3030.

Red Cap Plumbing Tampa you are 6 months past due in reimbursing me $250.00 for the repair work done under my sink and the back wall damaged by your Red Cap Plumbing crew and initiated by your Red Cap Plumbing camera Tech Erick Young on April 11, 2024.

Muslim Terrorists and Their Radical Websites Like Wolves of Manhattan That I Have Profiled With the Media Over the Last 30 Years

Muslim Terrorists and their Radical Websites That I Have Profiled With the Media Over the Last 30 Years and The Outcome. Bill Warner private investigations Sarasota Florida. For over 30 years, since Jan 1995, I have profiled with the media an assortment of Muslim terrorists who had become regional, national and international news. From the 9/11 terror pilots who lived and trained in the Sarasota Fl area aided by a local support network to the hunt for Muslim Honor Killer Yaser Said, to the radical Islamic websites that promote terrorism worldwide, I've been involved.

Back in August 2021, Al Qaeda calls for ‘mowing’ down non-Muslims with trucks the ultimate mowing machine. During the past decade, hundreds of people were killed and seriously injured by truck-ramming attacks from jihadist groups and lone wolves. The one-man rampages were encouraged by Al Qaeda and Islamic state (ISIS). Because American counterterrorism pressure has severely degraded its capabilities, Al Qaeda appears to believe its best hope of achieving a terrorist attack against the West is to inspire domestic extremists, and both the “America is Burning” and “The Lone Wolf and the Protests” articles are aimed at encouraging potential terrorists to use the societal turmoil as an opening for attacks. The fact that Al Qaeda has chosen to focus so heavily on turmoil in the West confirms that, even as it entrenches in local conflicts, the group still views its ultimate goal as engaging in a far-reaching, global jihad. The Jaysh al-Malahim’s Wolves of Manhattan magazine article “The Lone Wolf and the Protests,” meanwhile, suggests that the sweeping political protests across the West present an opportunity for Islamist extremists to further destabilize those countries. It offers lone wolves a variety of recommendations, suggesting that extremists infiltrate large, chaotic protests like the French Yellow Vest protests or the American unrest after the 2020 Presidential election. Islamist extremists, the article continues, should target police officers with car ramming attacks or by inciting violence between police and protestors.

November 19, 2023, 'Wolves of Manhattan' terrorist magazine first emerged in early 2020 taking the place of Inspire magazine that was run by former Al-Qaeda propaganda boss Samir Khan in Yemen. Samir Khan was originally out Charlotte NC and New York City. 'Wolves of Manhattan' (WoM) publishes in Arabic, English and French, and exists explicitly and exclusively to incite violence in the West especially in the USA. Among Al Qaeda's regional affiliates, AQAP has been the branch most dedicated to conducting terrorist attacks in America. The Wolves of Manhattan magazine is published by a group called Jaysh al Malahim al Electroni (Electronic Battle Army), which is associated with AQAP. The magazine 'Wolves of Manhattan' has also offered bounties for killing police officers. 'Wolves of Manhattan' magazine called it a “dream” to “see a day like” 9/11 “happen in Tel Aviv, where Jews are crushed.” 'Wolves of Manhattan' magazine is linked to Al-Qaeda’s official media, As-Sahab. 'Wolves of Manhattan Magazine,' issued by the al-Malahem Electronic Army (aka al-Malahem Cyber Army) that is supportive of al-Qa'ida. Issued in Arabic, French and English, the magazine is described as 'a guide for lone wolves in the Crusaders' land.' Abu Bayan al-Maqdisi is the editorial head of the 'Wolves of Manhattan' Radical Jihad Magazine''.

Feb 4th, 2015 The FBI Used a 1951 Book to Gain Insight Into an American al Qaeda Suspect. While investigating Samir Khan, the Charlotte North Carolina blogger who was eventually killed in a drone strike in Yemen, the FBI consulted 'The True Believer.' An FBI agent reviewed a popular 1951 book about the nature of mass movements in an attempt to figure out how a young blogger who published incendiary posts about violent jihad became "radicalized," according to hundreds of pages of new FBI files obtained by VICE News. November 2008. The file says, "Khan has been in contact with Anwar Aulaqi, an FBI San Diego subject who was acquainted with two of the 9/11 hijackers [of American Airlines Flight 77] while serving as the Imam at a mosque in San Diego, California." The FBI files show that Samir Khan was also under physical surveillance by the FBI. However, one file from February 2009 shows that an FBI counterterrorism agent sent a report to the Charlotte field office to report that the bureau's Public Access Center Unit received an anonymous tip on its "Internet Crime Complaint Center" website claiming that Khan made a death threat against a Sarasota, Florida private investigator (Bill Warner), whose name was redacted from the FBI files. A news report about the incident, however, revealed that the private investigator is Bill Warner, who allegedly was responsible for shutting down Khan's blog.

Sewell announced the conviction of TREVOR WILLIAM FORREST, a/k/a “SHAIKH ABDULLAH el-FAISAL,” a/k/a “SHAIKH FAISAL,” 59, for using his public profile and personal network to recruit and provide support for the Islamic State’s acts of violence and terrorism against others. Convicted; terrorist Abdullah el-Faisal, a Jamaican who was an outspoken supporter of the Islamic State, was the first person to face trial under New York State terror laws passed after Sept. 11th.

Abdullah el-Faisal, a Jamaican cleric, was the first person to face a jury under state terrorism laws passed after Sept. 11. He was not in the city when he committed his crimes. A radical Islamic cleric described by prosecutors as “one of the most influential English speaking terrorist of our times” was standing trial in Manhattan for allegedly encouraging a female undercover NYPD cop to carry out terror attacks. During opening statements in Manhattan Supreme Court prosecutors described Shaikh Abdullah Faisal, 59, as an Islamic State recruiter and marriage broker who had committed “far reaching crimes of terrorism.” Faisal is accused of communicating with the undercover NYPD officer by e-mail, text and video chat in a bid to encourage her to join ISIS and carry out attacks overseas from 2015 to 2017.

Al-Qaeda 'Inspire' Article by Samir Khan Oct 2012 Claims Ultimate Mowing Machine to Kill Kafirs is Ford Pickup Truck Just Like Shamsud Din Jabbar Used

Jan 1st, 2025; FBI confirms terror suspect Shamsud Din Jabbar aka Shamsuddin Bahar Jabbar is dead, Bourbon Street New Orleans massacre under investigation 'as an act of terrorism'. The FBI confirmed that the suspect in the New Year's Day massacre on Bourbon Street in New Orleans is deceased after engaging with police officers. The bureau also said the incident, in which 15 people were killed, including two Israeli nationals, and 38 injured after the suspect Muslim terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army vetren, plowed a Ford F-150 full size pickup truck with Texas license plates into a crowded New Orleans street at about 3:15am, is being investigated as an act of terrorism. The FBI provided more details Sunday on the man responsible for the New Year’s Day truck attack that killed 14 in New Orleans, highlighting his movements in the months before the attack which included a four-day visit in Toronto Ontario Canada in 2023. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Houston, flew to Ontario on July 10, 2023 before returning to the U.S. July 13, Lyonel Myrthil, FBI special agent in charge of the New Orleans Field Office, said at a press conference Sunday. Just before then, Jabbar travelled to Cairo from June 22 to July 3. Muslim terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar who mowed down dozens in New Orleans with his ultimate mowing machine appears to have links to other terrorists in Toronto Canada.

Private Investigator Bill Warner Says; FBI Agent told me one time, There Ain't No Coincidences in Terrorism! Terrorists Matthew Livelsberger 37 and Shamsud-Din Jabbar 42 both were in US Army at Fort Bragg and in Afghanistan at the same time! Suspects in Vegas Tesla explosion at Trump Hotel and New Orleans Muslim terrorist attack on Bourbon St NO both served at Fort Bragg Army base, police confirm. Authorities said Thursday the two men likely overlapped at Fort Bragg and again in Afghanistan. Both the Las Vegas terror attack and the New Orleans terror attack happened on the same morning of Wednesday Jan 1st 2025. Matthew Livelsberger is accused of renting a Cybertruck in Colorado Springs, driving it to Nevada and packing it with firework mortars and gas cans before exploding it in front of the Trump International Hotel in Vegas Wednesday morning, killing himself and injuring seven others. Shamsud-Din Jabbar is suspected of plowing through a crowd of New Year’s revelers in the French Quarter hours earlier, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens more in an attack that sent shockwaves through a famous New Year's destination the morning of a scheduled College Football Playoff game. Both terrorist used vehicles rented from the Turo car rental marketplace in their respective attacks.

The Ford pickup truck driven by Muslim terrorist 42 year old Shamsud Din Jabbar had a Al-Qaeda or ISIS black war flag attached to the rear of the truck! The FBI said the Ford F-150 truck appeared to be rented. In the early hours of January 1, 2024, Jabbar drove a rented Ford F-150 pickup truck through a three-block stretch of Bourbon Street, targeting pedestrians and firing into the crowd with an assault rifle. Jabbar was a US Army vetren, WTH? After crashing the vehicle, he exited armed with the rifle and engaged responding police officers. Law enforcement officials confirm that Jabbar was wearing body armor during the attack. 

New Orleans terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar followed the Al-Qaeda INSPIRE magazine article playbook by Samir Khan in October 2012 to the letter. The brother of terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar who launched the deadly car attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans says that “radicalization” is to blame for his kin’s rampage. Younger brother Abdur Jabbar, 24, of Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times that his 42 year old brother Shamsud-Din Jabbar — who killed at least 15 people in the New Year’s Day attack — converted to Islam at an early age. Instructions follow from Al-Qaeda Inspire magazine issue of Oct. 12th, 2012 on how to use a full size pickup truck as the ultimate mowing machine, not to mow grass but to kill the enemies of Allah, the nonbelievers. To start, pick a location with the most crowds, narrow streets are best as it gives less chance for people to run away, like in New Orleans. Avoid locations were other vehicles may intercept you. To inflict maximum carnage you need to pick up maximum speed while maintaining control of your truck. The Ford Lightning pickup truck used by terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar, per its disabled Turo listing, can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4 seconds. Additionally, the Turo listing says it can cover a quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at over 106 mph. Instant Power Fun truck to Drive! People will scatter after your first run so it is important to study and surveil your path of operation beforehand. In fact if you can get to 'pedestrian only areas' in downtown sections with few other vehicles that would be fabulous. If you have access to firearms it would be best to carry them with you as you can exit your vehicle and finish off any people nearby. Hence it should be considered a martyrdom operation, a one way road. You keep on fighting the Kafirs until you achieve martyrdom, praise Allah. Shamsud Din Jabbar was killed in a shootout with New Orleans cops after his Fort truck was immobilized, he had a handgun and AR-!5 style rifle. Jabbar followed the Al-Qaeda Magazine Inspire article to the very end.

Authorities have linked Jabbar to an Airbnb rental in the St. Roch neighborhood, where a fire broke out on Wednesday morning. The property, located at 1329 Mandeville Street New Orleans LA, was reportedly rented by the suspect. HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- A Ford F-150 Lightning truck driven by the suspect in a deadly attack during New Year celebrations in New Orleans has ties to the Houston area, sources confirmed to ABC Houston affiliate KTRK. The electric truck with Texas plates was rented via the app Turo, a vehicle-sharing platform, from a man in Houston. Sources say the truck was then observed Tuesday in north Harris County around Treaschwig Road and Aldine Westfield Road around 10:15 a.m., and then again at 11:10 a.m.. Jabbar started a handful of realty businesses in Texas, Secretary of State records show. Two of them went defunct within the last couple of years. In a now-removed YouTube video for one of these businesses posted four years ago, Jabbar says he was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, and spent all his life in the state except for his time in the military. He said his 10 years in the military is “where I learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously, dotting i’s and crossing t’s, to make sure that things go off without a hitch." A Georgia State University spokesperson confirmed he attended the school from 2015 until 2017 and graduated with a B.B.A. in Computer Information Systems.

"This morning, Muslim terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a Ford F-150 pickup truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing a number of people and injuring dozens of others," the FBI said in a statement Wednesday. "The subject then engaged with local law enforcement and is now deceased. The FBI is the lead investigative agency, and we are working with our partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism." “When I got to work this morning, it was kind of pandemonium everywhere," Derick Fleming, chief bellhop at a downtown hotel, told the AP. "There were a couple of bodies on the ground covered up. Police were looking for bombs in garbage cans, (to kill first responders).”

The New Orleans killer Muslim terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a white Ford F-150 full size pickup truck with a Al-Qaeda or ISIS black flag on the back through the barricades on the corner of Bourbon and Canal street. The “hell bent” killer Muslim terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar engaged in a firefight with cops, injuring at least two, before being shot dead, multiple local outlets reported. Multiple explosive devices found at the scene of the deadly New Orleans car ramming were "viable," ABC News reported. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism, as at least 15 are killed and 35 injured from the mass casualty event. Bourbon Street has had barriers to prevent vehicle attacks since 2017, but Wednesday’s rampage happened amid a major project to remove and replace the devices, which left the area vulnerable, now that is unbelievably stupid!

Chicago July 2021: Al-Qaeda and Inspire Magazine is back with a new high-gloss publication for radical followers and a new video, encouraging violent attacks on America by one-person jihadists and lone wolf terrorist. Hundreds of people were killed and injured by truck-ramming attacks from terrorist groups in the past decade. The one-man rampages were encouraged by Al Qaeda and ISIS leaders targeting cities worldwide. The playbook for those attacks date to a more than 12-year-old edition of al Qaeda's "Inspire Magazine," set with Chicago as a backdrop and a pick-up truck as "the ultimate mowing machine." The new edition of Inspire is once again calling for attacks on Americans in the U.S., and praising recent mass murderers who claimed to have been fighting for the jihadist cause. That includes Ahmad Al-Issa, an American from Syria who is accused of killing 10 people last March in a Colorado grocery store. NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2017 — terrorist attack in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic terrorist from Uzbekistan, drives a Uhaul pickup truck onto a popular New York City bike path, killing eight people. He is convicted of federal terrorism charges and sentenced to 10 life sentences plus 260 years in prison.

Al-Qaeda Inspire Magazine by Samir Khan Suggests the Ultimate Mowing Machine to Kill Nonbelievers Kafirs is a Pickup Truck in New Orleans - Sin City. Al-Qaeda’s offshoot in Yemen launched the second edition of its online, English-language magazine, with chilling tips to would-be fighters on how to kill Americans in 2010. The article is just one of many in the 74-page October issue of Inspire magazine by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The second edition, released this week, includes “The Ultimate Mowing Machine”, which describes how to use a pickup truck “as a mowing machine, not to mow grass, but mow down the enemies of God”. “To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control … to strike as many people as possible in your first run,” it says. 

Another piece, by Samir Khan, an American from the US-state of North Carolina, is entitled “I Am Proud to be a Traitor to America” and follows his travels to Yemen and his experiences with the fighters. the writing in Inspire reflects a significant level of familiarity with U.S. policy, media, and culture. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that both Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan played important roles in writing and editing. Over the course of its first 7 issues (while Khan and Awlaki were both alive, prior to being killed in a drone strike on September 30, 2011), the quality of the magazine continued to develop and mature.

Charlotte NC man Samir Khan was first guy running new al-Qaeda online magazine, Inspire in Yeman. Samir Khan a U.S. citizen, was 22-years-old in 2008, was of Pakistani heritage from Charlotte who produced “Inspire,” an English-language Web magazine which spread al-Qaida ideology and promoted attacks against U.S. targets, even running articles on how to put together explosives. Samir Khan Continues to Inspire Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) from the grave. Operatives Like Mohammed Alshamrani Terror Attack on Pensacola Naval Base. Samir Khan 'The Inspired Terrorist That Hellfire Drones Couldn’t Silence'. Back on Jan. 8, 2009, the FBI raised Khan’s investigation priority from “IT” to “core,” an indication that FBI agents believed that he was not just an al Qaeda supporter but someone in close contact with al Qaeda’s core leadership. Summer of 2010, Samir Khan, working with Anwar al-Awlaki, launched Inspire magazine.

The magazine was almost an exact replica of Jihad Recollections in form and content. The context in which these extremists experience this violence is not merely supportive or permissive of violence, it presents that violence as absolutely essential. It is precisely that kind of context that Inspire magazine sought to provide. For the home- grown violent extremists, however, who were targeted or reached out to by Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Kahn of Inspire magazine, each release of Inspire magazine was more than just the content. Each new edition of Inspire magazine was celebrated as though the release of the magazine itself was an event, a terrorist attack. While we will be dealing with the content of Inspire magazine for some time to come, this string of victories is over.
