Mohammed Pedro Whitaker held in KCMO highway shootings
So this dude by the name of Mohammed Pedro Whitaker was arrested the other day and he’s facing 18 counts related to at least nine incidents of shooting at other drivers from his car, according to CNN;
Probable cause statements show police connected the shootings through .380 bullets found in the vehicles. Starting in early March, motorists told police of being shot at in the I-435/I-470/Highway 71 interchanges.
In several cases, the drivers reported seeing a dark green car near them driven by a man wearing sunglasses, a dark hoodie and sometimes a black ski mask.
One break came when a witness looking for a lost cell phone beside a road found a Walmart bag containing .380 ammunition, the documents showed. Prints on the ammunition boxes matched Whitaker’s.
After police started shadowing Whitaker, he was observed trying to buy a .380 handgun with a laser sight from a man in a Bass Pro Shop parking lot, the statements said.
When police questioned the second man, he told officers he advertised the pistol online but refused to sell when Whitaker couldn’t provide identification, the statement said.
So, you see, not all private transactions go the way the criminals want it to go. One honest gun seller had his own system for background checks.
From the Kansas City Star;
While under surveillance, police saw Whitaker allegedly driving aggressively and stalking potential victims by pacing cars in their blind spots on highways, according to court records. Whitaker even braked rapidly to allow another motorist to pull up alongside. Whitaker turned to face the motorist, not knowing he was an undercover officer, the records show.
No one is saying what his motivations were, so I guess we’re left to speculate. He targeted random drivers, so, my guess is that he wanted to terrorize the entire city. Luckily he wasn’t very well trained, since there was a bullet hole inside his car. We keep getting lucky.

Douche bag.
“We keep getting lucky.”
So far.
Not all jihadists are so dumb. And they will learn, especially with the media publicizing all pertinent intel.
Hope he enjoys his time inside. Many, many, many times over.
Jon, how did you miss the part of the story that mentioned the alleged shooter lived in the same neighborhood as a veteran? Or was it saw a war movie.
Meanwhile, Senator Harry Reid speaks of domestic terrorists in the Nevada BLM rancher dispute. It would be unfair to tarnish the entire Muslim faith because of the actions of this individual. Now, if they can establish that he ever walked past a military recruiting station, that would just be further proof that all military are walking time bombs.
How many more of these events will it take before we can blame the muslims for this stuff? I know you’re being sarcastic, but hell’s bells.
The leftist apologists who keep saying there are innocent muslims are the same sort that would claim there were innocent Germans in May of 1945.
No word yet if the guy selling the gun in the parking lot was a veteran. Since he acted honorably and sensibly, there will never be any clarification on the point.
In other news, the shooter certainly has all that “melting pot” stuff covered with his name.
One of the radio shows here in town was joking about that the other day. I think they had him up to about 5 or 6 different names.
I’m surprised the media libs didn’t try to portray him as a Rea Party member. Maybe Bubba & Thor can straighten his butt out in the jailhouse!
“Aha! A case that proves that Michael Bloomberg, Diane Feinstein, et al are right! We MUST close the private gun transfer loophole, to protect children from these Christian white-supremacist veteran psychopaths…wait, what? The private seller was obeying the law? And refused to sell to this guy? And helped the authorities catch him? And the shooter was black? And not a veteran? And possibly Islamic?
Damn it! This doesn’t fit the Glorious Leader’s script at all! How are we supposed to spin this now?”
Somewhere in America right now, this is going through a liberal’s head. The truth hurts sometimes, eh?
Whitey, a few upvotes for your post. ↑↑↑↑↑
Maybe next they’ll cry that his arrest was due to “racial profiling” and blame it on “The Man”, saying he’s just “A victim of Society”?
I can barely wait for the infamous line: “If I had a son, he’d look like _______. Actually, this assclown is another dropout from the Obama Department of Wealth Redistribution’s(DoWR) financially challenged yoot bootcamp program.
No wonder I haven’t heard anything regarding this on the tv networks. I do remember reading about somebody in custody but zero description was given and now it makes sense.
It was a pretty big story right up until they arrested the guy. And then… crickets.
Does that strike anyone else as odd?
Well, clearly, someone played the Race Card, eh?
Shooter’s name was Mohammed?
I’m shocked.
This is my shocked face.
How long before the government declares this an act of “workplace violence” or something?
“Road rage” more likely…….
Sheesh.
That, or like I said earlier, they’ll opine that he’s a “Victim of Society” and all that liberal crap!
No, no.
It would be “speed-limit disenfranchisement” or something else equally earth shaking and fundamentally wrong … at least in the eyes of POTUS.
A Farrakhan acolyte, maybe?
If this guys mama named him Mohammed Pedro I can see why he is pissed off at the world. What else could be, stuck with a moniker like that. If he picked it himself at conversion, then we all know why he started shooting. I wonder if he shouted allahu akbar as he he fired his gun at innocent commuters. Either way, he is bat shit crazy.
“It would be unfair to tarnish the entire Muslim faith because of the actions of this individual.”
I agree. One must include the thousands of other Muslim terrorists, their apologists, their clerics, and their sympathizers before doing so.
He was not a Muslim… Just cause his name is from that part of the world formt mean he is… People stop being so close minded
