MAGNA, Utah — Two men have been arrested after allegedly leaving an incendiary device underneath a FOX 13 News vehicle and then forcing an evacuation of a Magna neighborhood when the FBI served an overnight warrant on their home.

The men, Adeeb Ahamed Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were booked into jail and face multiple charges, including Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices.


The device underneath the FOX 13 News vehicle was originally located on Friday and determined to be real. According to officials, the device had been lit but "failed to function."

Because of the type of device discovered and where it was located, it was considered a significant threat to public safety, leading the FBI to assume jurisdiction over the case.

During the FBI investigation, the suspects were tracked to a Magna home in the 2700 South block of 8500 West, which Salt Lake County property records show Adeeb Nasir owns. Both men lived at the address, according to a probable cause statement.

On Saturday, the FBI served a warrant on the home, along with the Salt Lake City Police Department and Unified Fire bomb squads to make sure no other explosive devices were a danger inside.

The men were located at the home, and during the search, told investigators that "two hoax weapons of mass destruction" that officials discovered were "real," the arrest report stated.

Because of the devices, the home was evacuated, as well as nearby homes in the neighborhood.

Although the warrant was issued for the search of evidence related to the incendiary devices found under the FOX 13 News vehicle, law enforcement officials "observed additional contraband and evidence of crimes outside the scope of the original warrant, to include firearms and firearm related items, explosives and explosive-related components, illegal narcotics and associated paraphernalia, as well as electronic devices reasonably believed to contain evidence" of the original device that was discovered.

According to the Salt Lake City Police Department, both men had protective orders that prohibit them from possessing
 
Personally, I don't think they're going to keep him cancelled. My guess is they're going to have him "take a vacation" for a few weeks before announcing his triumphant return and having him proclaim that cancel culture is dead.

Either that or ABC was facing a similar situation with CBS and Colbert and they didn't know how to break it to him that his numbers weren't justifying his salary. The latter's funnier but I just have a feeling about the former.

This is much, much more than a cancellation. The fact that Disney immediately ceased the show, and did not give an apology or redaction means one thing: Jimmy Kimmel committed a crime. A veritable, prosecutable crime. This was a major, major mistake for him. If there was any organized influence behind Jimmy, such as illegal funding or any questionable orgs, it will be a clearing house and arrests. Shit meet pants for shills. Keep an eye on Colbert and Matt Stone/Trey Parker. I’m betting their contracts get subpoenaed.
This wasn’t ABC or Disney. The affiliates. The stations that carry ABC programming in all the US Broadcast Markets, they came to ABC as an organized group, and informed ABC/Disney that they would no longer be carrying Kimmel. They would be pre-emptying his show with something local. They stated the show would be pre-emptied indefinitely. Even if ABC put out the show tonight, it would only air in New York and Los Angeles.

This is not a fight Iger wants. The linear broadcast networks are dying anyway. he’s not going to fight for Kimmel if all of his broadcasters say Fuck No! The affiliates just gave Iger and Disney the perfect out, without taking on any blame.
 
We are in more control of the culture than we have been for the last 30 years. Massive fucking whitepill.
Lets not get the party favors out just yet, all that's happened is the right started playing the game by the same rules as the left, they'll probably stop flopping around gasping about "but muh cancel culture" soon. We're just gonna have to see if the right can keep this full steam ahead when the counterattack hits
 
Matt Walsh: If you want me to die, then you're my enemy and not my friend.
James Lindsay: *hoho* you are directly basing that framework on the work of the crown jurist of the Nazi Third Reich, and you are a bad person. Look at all this political theory from bad people who advanced the idea that people who want to kill you are your enemy. *reddit snicker*

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.
Believe it or not, I do have a softer side. It gives me no pleasure to see James Lindsay descend into lolcowdom in his quixotic attempts to beat back the rising tide with a broom. I really appreciated what he and his partners Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian (sp?) accomplished with their Grievance Studies operation back in 2017-18 (go see the videos of Mike Nayna's YT channel if you need a refresher on that).

His "New Discourses" podcast helped keep me sane during the Chinky flu madness. His audio essays on Herbert Marcuse, Foucault, and other neo-Marxist faggots were very informative.

But he so wants to hold up the old tent pole of bygone 1990s-era neoliberalism (that he thinks is the old liberalism). And it drives him beyond batty to see the right wing, after getting repeatedly kicked in the head over the decades, stand up and say, "Hey, we're kinda tired of getting the shit kicked out of us." The idea that the left isn't some group with different ideas that we just need to negotiate with (while they plant bombs all around behind our backs) but is rather an evil we need to defeat sends him into paroxysms. "No! The right saying they need to defeat the left is how we got 1930s Germany, you guise!"

I get where he's coming from. But the time for the kind of rapprochement he so maniacally wants is rapidly running out. And I hate seeing what that's doing to a formerly sane Tennessee man.
 
Of course the lefty hacks running late night shows can't keep thier mouths shut nor learn from other's mistakes. It probably would be better if they just canceled the current crop of late night shows and replace them with new ones that won't fucking turn be lightning rods of controversy the moment something that makes libshits orgasm and call for more of the same thing happens.
late night is dead and its corpse stinking up the airwaves. it would be cheaper to air reruns of shows, infomericals, or dead air than hire people to replace the current crop of late night hosts / shows.
 
The ABC Affiliates rebelled. See while we think of ABC as the big national network, the truth is they don’t own the stations that carry their programming. They don’t own the channels. Not even the cable channels. I believe all ABC actually owns is the New York and LA stations. Everything else is owned by affiliates who choose to carry ABC’s programming. This is the same for any of the traditional terrestrial broadcast networks. Even the cable rights are split by broadcast area so your cable is carrying your local affiliate, not the national feed.

The large ABC affiliate owners groups just informed ABC that they would be pre-emptying Jimmy Kimmel permanently on all of their stations. This is a rare event. But has on occasion happened. The Affiliate Stations realize exactly what Kimmel is saying. What he means. And they aren’t buying it anymore. This wasn’t the FCC or Trump. Or even a question of speech. The broadcast stations as a group declared they will no longer air his vile divisive shit. There is no place for his type of arrogant vile bullshit within their broadcast areas. They’ll throw up Mr Ed or Magnum PI reruns instead to fill that time slot.
i think its the same as stephen colbert that he was not getting renue.
this was him going off on high note while still getting paid.
Question is will we see him in 2029.
Next question is their anymore people willing mask & FAFO

This exactly. Nexstar owns a boatload of local ABC affiliate stations. And there are others. These companies very likely heard from their local station managers that they wouldn't air Kimmel's show, telling ABC that "they can feed it, but we ain't airing it." As you said, they were willing violate some contract provisions and air "Mr. Ed" or "The Jackie Gleason Show" instead.
 
That faggot hack Kimmel getting his show obliterated is the best news this week.
Last time he was funny when when he did black face.

For anyone saying this is 'unamerican' imagine if some major TV person after MLK was shot went on about how it was a black nationalist that did it.
 
I’ve noticed a lot of hicklibs do a 180 over the last week, anecdotally.
I don't know if it's purely an American thing in terms of exuberance of the effect, but plenty have noted that our mythos and psyche is entirely based upon martyrs. A guy dying for his beliefs, at the right place and right time, will move mountains in terms of the overall ideological and mystical makeup of the country. Charlie set up the entire system of bringing people back into belief, whether it was religious or Americana, and everything was set by his own hands to the right time and right place. With his death it triggered the necessary means to get over the psychological, social, and ideological hump into becoming better, more well rounded people without the weight of the past bullshit neolib, socialist, and boomercon orthodoxy that we've had to wade through and weighed Americans down.
