Wrong Way In St. Louis

From the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH comes the story of Palestinian immigrant, Mousa M. Abuelawi. He was arrested in December and charged on complaints accusing him of three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes. He tried to buy as many explosives as possible in preparation for what an associate called "war," the FBI says in court documents.

For some reason this guy is out on bail. He is single with no children, no assets and no job. Why is he out on bail and why is he even in this country? What is he contributing to this nation? Whoever approved this guy's visa should be sentenced along with him.

His story seems to be that he was accumulating the weapons and explosives to make a few extra bucks selling them to street gangs. That's so much better than using them for outright terrorism. The difference escapes me because terrorism is carried out by armed gangs.

Will he show up for his day in court or will we see him next on a CNN interview live from Gaza or perhaps in a doctored Reuters photo?
