Squalid trailer home in Houston:
Quote:
In a YouTube video he posted in 2020 for his real estate business, a clean-cut Jabbar described himself as a reliable, trustworthy native Texan who spent 10 years in the military, which taught him "the meaning of great service."
But when he carried out the terror attack one of the deadliest since 9/11 Jabbar lived in a squalid trailer park on the outskirts of Houston that is home to mostly Muslim immigrants.
Geese, chickens, and sheep roamed freely in Jabbar's yard when The Post visited hours after the attack.
Quote:
Jabbar traveled to Egypt for 10 days last year, officials told the Post.
By mid-afternoon the feds swooped in kicking The Post and other journalists out of the area and cordoning it off.
Dozens of police vehicles swarmed the neighborhood, including an armored, military-style truck.
Quote:
Jabbar had been arrested twice: Once in Katy, Texas, for theft in 2002, court records show, and again three years later for driving without a valid license, the New York Times reported.
He had also been divorced twice, and the failed marriages apparently left him in financial ruin
Quote:
"I cannot afford the house payment," he wrote.
He added that his real estate business suffered more than $28,000 in losses the previous year.
His first wife, Nakedra Jabbar, has since remarried, and she and her new husband were cooperating with investigators, her husband's father, Nelson Marsh Sr., told the New York Post.
So he wasn't very good at being a soldier, husband, dad, managing money, or business person. Who paid for his trip to Egypt though, and why was someone filming him before he turned down the street past the cop car on the rampage?
This guy is probably a textbook case of radicalization in place. Poor personal, professional, and financial circumstances, previous exposure to Islam, disaffected with how his life turned out. Investigation will show he made online contact with radical Islam, first through generally innocuous websites, and then further into online or locations like Insight, Wolves of the West, etc. Then direct contacts through Telegram or similar messaging services. Than someone will have either sent him money or plane tickets, he travels to the ME, where he receives some rudimentary training and further indoctrination. He travels home, receives more financial support, and is guided to execute his lone wolf attack.
