WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem today announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents arrested Jaan Shah Safi, an Afghan national who entered the United States under Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome,” who provided support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan (ISIS-K). He also provided weapons to his father who is a commander of a militia group in Afghanistan. This terrorist was arrested in Waynesboro, Virginia.

Take for what it's worth; narrative being discussed on several different talk radio shows suggest the shooter was being threatened by the Taliban. Meaning, they were threatening harm to his family still in Afghanistan if he didn't do this.

Is it possible? Anything is possible. I know first hand it's possible. Two of my coworkers who I worked with briefly in Iraq were killed by their driver in Kabul. The driver then killed himself. The investigation revealed the Taliban got to him.

The other scary part? The jobs they were doing after transfer to Kabul, District Manager and Operations Manager respectively; I was asked prior to leaving Bahrain if I was interested in either.

Almost all human beings want to be 'normal' as we all share the desire for basic needs. Afghanistan is left out from the march of humanity. But the biggest catastrophe which hit them was their ruling class' power struggle between 1973 and 1979; before that, they were not all that bad. The biggest culprit was their ruling class on top of being victims of a fake, resource-deprived 'nation' in every way possible.
I don't think Afghanistan should even be unified country under its current geography: It should be split up along ethnic lines and/or different parts merged into neighboring states.

Pakistan should annex Afghanistan. That would solve their problems.

We need a Greater Pakistan.

Taliban are exceptionally stupid, so I wouldn't put it past them at all to facilitate such things while under the influence of some narcotic substance.
 
If, and it is a big if, there is any truth to this, then no doubt in my mind there is a lot of BTUs being expended to vet the remainder of the Afghans in this country. If the Taliban got to one, then it stands to reason they can get to others.

In recent years, the U.S. has experienced several high-profile shootings targeting minority communities, often driven by hate or racial bias. [1]
Recent and notable cases include: :coffee:
    • San Diego Mosque Shooting: In May 2026, two teenage gunmen fatally shot three men, including a security guard, in an attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Officials investigated the tragedy as a possible hate crime after the suspects were found to have shared a broad hatred of multiple religions and racial groups. [1, 2] ☕
    • Buffalo Supermarket Shooting: In May 2022, a white supremacist opened fire at a Tops Friendly Markets store in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 people and injuring three others in a racially motivated hate crime. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ☕
Community Impact and Statistics
Racial disparities in firearm-related incidents remain a critical issue in the U.S. Statistics indicate that Black children and teens are disproportionately affected, experiencing higher mortality rates compared to white or Hispanic youth. Organizations like the Giffords Law Center track the rates of firearm homicides and other related violence within minority communities. For data and reports on localized incidents, you can monitor the resources provided by the Gun Violence Archive. [1]

Last updated: July 2, 2026

Since 1966, 1,737 people have been killed and 2,728 injured in mass public shootings. These statistics translate to an average of 3.4 people killed and 5.3 people injured in each mass public shooting event. The risk of becoming a victim of a mass shooting, whether being killed or injured, remains low. When individuals are impacted by mass shootings, they are more likely to be injured than killed, a trend that has continued since the mid-1980s.
