How did they get all that hardware yet when the big day finally arrives, they have to rob a 7-11 because they are doing Jihad on a budget? Then they carjacked the Mercedes and had to spend the rest of that day trying to get money of that guys atm machine? Are these guys THAT stupid? Or THAT broke? Or both? Or did they just hit the limit on their Visa card after they bought that last batch of hand grenades and assault weapon ammo? It’s the cost of the bullets that’s killin us now. Perhaps the lesson here is, if you are serious about doing this Jihad thing, go with a lower caliber weapon that’s in your budget, for Allah’s sakes! Like a .22 caliber, or even a Daisy pellet gun just make sure you are not forced into robbing a 7-11 store just as things get rolling pretty good.
