Not a real Muslim

Just spreading his peaceful message is all. Allah told him to.

Strange target, though. Others have recently directly targeted police due to a hatred of them specifically, but police are the antithesis of a soft target, and most islamic terrorists want to maximize casualties (I know they regularly attack police stations in Iraq and elsewhere, though).

Wonder how Obama is going to spin this...

Not a real Muslim

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is NOT a duck.

Wonder how Obama is going to spin this...

It was also a stolen gun, so even coming at it from a gun control perspective isn't terribly easy.

The man who is suspected of opening fire on a Philadelphia Police officer in West Philly late Thursday night pleaded guilty to an armed assault that had taken place a few blocks away in January 2012.

Edward Archer, 30, of Yeadon, has been named as the suspect who ambushed Philadelphia Police officer Jesse Hartnett and firing 13 shots at the officer at 60th and Spruce streets in West Philadelphia. Archer was on parole and awaiting a hearing scheduled for January 19, stemming from the 2012 armed assault. In addition, Archer was found guilty in November of charges of fraud and forgery in Delaware County, and he was set to be sentenced on those charges Monday.

According to court documents, Archer pleaded guilty to simple assault and carrying a firearm without a license last year after police said that in 2012 he pointed a gun he wasn’t licensed to carry at a man’s stomach, threatened him and then chased the man with the gun when the victim had broken free.

An affidavit of probable cause filed by Philadelphia Police states that a male victim was inside his mother’s home when he opened the door shortly after 4 p.m. on Jan. 31 to find his girlfriend’s father standing in the doorway. The man questioned the victim about his relationship with his daughter and then said “two guys want to see you.”

Police say two men — one later identified as Archer — emerged from a vehicle parked outside the house. The victim reported that the man identified as Archer pulled a gun from his waist and pointed it toward the victim’s stomach while grabbing his shirt and threatening him.

The victim was able to break free, but he reported Archer followed him and again produced the gun. According to police, the victim was able to call for help and Archer apparently fled.

Archer was tracked down by police in 2013 and faced bevy of charges that included aggravated assault, conspiracy, terroristic threats, simple assault and others that involved firearms. He pleaded guilty last year to carrying a gun without a license, a third-degree felony, and simple assault, a second-degree misdemeanor. The more severe charges were dropped in the plea deal.

According to court documents, Archer was sentenced to nine to 13 months in prison, was allowed to count time served and was immediately paroled. Records show he was originally arrested April 14, 2013 and was released April 30, 2013 after posting partial bail.

Philadelphia Mayor: Shooting of cop in name of Islam had “nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith”

January 8, 2016 2:59 pm By Robert Spencer 77 Comments

Edward Archer said he shot Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett because “police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.” But Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney wants you to know that the shooting had “nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.” I called this earlier today, writing here at Jihad Watch: “Not to worry. Obama and the Mayor of Philadelphia will find some way to explain that this has nothing to do with Islam.” And here we are.

Kenney’s predecessor was named Nutter. And there is still a Nutter in the Philadelphia mayor’s office. He should be calling for an inquiry into where Archer learned about Islam, where he went to mosque, and what in Islam gave him this idea. Instead, the utterly predictable denial.

“Mayor Kenney On Officer Shooting: ‘It Has Nothing To Do With Being Muslim,’” CBS, January 8, 2016:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — During a police press conference Friday afternoon, Mayor Jim Kenney stated that he believes the shooting of a Philadelphia police officer has “nothing to do with being a Muslim,” despite the suspect claiming he did it in the name of Islam.

Mayor Kenney said, “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen.”

Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett was shot several times late Thursday.

Authorities say the suspect gave a full confession to the shooting.

Commissioner Richard Ross said, “According to him, police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.”

Mayor Kenney said of the shooting, “It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings.”

He continued, “This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”

Police sources say the suspect is 30-year-old Edward Archer, of Yeadon.
