Sean Andrew Duncan, arrested for destroying evidence

| January 1, 2018

According to Time, Sean Andrew Duncan, a Sterling, Virginia man was arrested by Federal officers on Friday for destroying evidence that the feds intended to use to arrest him for terrorist activities relating to his ties to ISIS.

Duncan does not face any terrorism-related charges, NBC News adds. The FBI was searching his home as part of an investigation into possible “attempts to provide material support for a terror organization,” according to NBC.

Court documents suggest that Duncan may have converted to Islam and become interested in joining ISIS and carrying out an attack in the U.S.

Yeah, looking at the above picture, I don’t think “may have converted to Islam” is very much in doubt.

From WTOP;

The documents said that when FBI agents knocked on the front door with their search warrant, Duncan ran out of the back door barefoot with “something clenched in his fist.”

Agents yelled at Duncan to stop, but before he did he threw a plastic bag over their heads. The documents say the bag contained a memory chip from a thumb drive that “had been snapped into pieces and placed in a liquid substance that produced frothy white bubbles.”

The FBI had been investigating Duncan for more than a year.

Duncan and his wife attempted to travel to Turkey in February 2016, but were denied entry and sent back to the U.S. Upon returning, they were interviewed by the FBI.

A relative of Duncan also warned the FBI that they feared he had become radicalized because he had voiced approval of westerners being beheaded in the Middle East.

When the FBI searched Twitter in December, they found an account created in November 2015 that linked to Duncan’s phone. The Twitter account had a handle with an Arabic phrase that roughly translated to “The Islamic State.”

Apparently, the investigation of the death of Duncan’s infant son uncovered the ISIS connections. One of these days, the feds are going to run out of luck.

He needs to be broken into pieces and submerged in a liquid that causes frothy white bubbles.

Why waste beer like that?

NHSparky

Nitric acid will produce much the same result.

Or so I read somewhere.

William

Sooooo…did you get that info on the internet? Looking up ways to harmother humans? Wow…because that is less than what he is accused of.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Sit down Willie, that is enough out of you.

William

Yeah – it’s enough when I point out the double standard and bigotry…thanks for the memo

NHSparky

Lighten up, Francis.

A lengthy bath in concentrated sulfuric acid would be good for him.

How about a rope, tree, and Duncan. Some assembly required. Then a prompt burial, wrapped in a pigskin.

William

So you are calling to kill American citizens because they are accused of possibly destroying what is suspected as evidence?

You sound like an evil extremist full of hate.

NHSparky

And you are (as opposed to) a booger-eating moron.

Run along, sonny, the adults are talking here.

William

Such a thoughtful response. Thank you for the time you had to put into such a thought provoking comment

“The Dip”…..so says Roger Rabbit.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

He is a sterling young man for sure!

RGR 4-78

Sean Andrew Duncan = SAD.

William

Actually he was a very happy young man … except for grieving over the death of his infant. Other than that – he was well known for his gentle nature, good manners and volunteer work.

Perhaps if you asked questions instead of spouting off witticism at sensationalized journalism it’d be more productive.

RGR 4-78

To bad the Turks turned them back.
A wonderful life left unfulfilled, I am sure.

William

Ummmm…he was going to Bangladesh to meet his new in laws. He had just gotten married and was going to visit the wife’s family. Turkey was a lay-over.

Despite not getting to go to meet the family, his wife and him were still happily married.

I would say – too bad there’s so much hatred and fear orperhaps hecould Love a more fulfilled life.

You people haven’t got a single fact straight and yet you feel comfortable quipping off your witticisms …

Imagine for a moment if a Muslim said these things about one of you here…. oooooh the names youwould call him.

William

Soooo…

…I am saying facts Iknow personally and you believe news agencies that are trying to piece together a story to sensationalize in order to feed your fearand hate.

On this story – I know better

RGR 4-78

Was 1 of SAD’s relatives telling the truth when they said he had become radicalized and supported the beheading of infidels?

William

Yes.
How do Iknow?

He is one of my students.

RGR 4-78

So, he was radicalized and supporting violence in the name of his religion.

William

He wasn’t radical at all – he was a very spiritual young man.

RGR 4-78

Did he (SAD) or did he not advocate support for the beheadings?

Graybeard

Yeah, real “spiritual” – supporting the beheading of those who don’t accept his form of spirituality?

Sorry, Willy-boy, not buying it. I’m willing to accept that the reporters have some of their facts wrong (I’d be surprised otherwise) but I’m gonna go with the preponderance of evidence in this case.

HMCS(FMF) ret

William – if you are so upset at how Sean Andrew Duncan has been portrayed in the press, you came to the wrong place to gripe about it. You should be going to the MSM outlets that have been running with the story.

BTW – the owner of the blog doesn’t take too kindly to people dropping the word “bigot” here. His blog, his rules.

desert

Get a frigging life! You haven’t posted anything worth reading yet!

William

Interesting – I am speaking facts and most are spewing hatred – but the hatred is “worth reading” but the truth isn’t.

Amazing.

Graybeard

Sorry, Willy-boy. Not seeing any “facts” from your posts to date.

What you have provided are accusations of hatred and assertions of SAD’s saintliness.

What you evidently fail to understand despite your professorial pontifications is that on a forum of veterans – some of whom have witnessed first hand the civilization(s) guided by the teachings of the Pedophile Prophet – the informed opinions of what the advocates of such a belief system deserve.

Those who would kill, in horrible ways, those who disagree with them; those who treat women as sub-human and worthy only of being a man’s property; those who would destroy anyone who does not convert to their heresy – such people deserve destruction themselves in order to protect the innocent and the helpless.

Like you.

If you are a teacher of some sort, if what you have written here is an example of your thought process, I suspect you owe your students a refund.

William

1.) the facts I produced are that : these accusations are just that – accusations sensationalized in news for propaganda purposes.

2.) also, the accusations I made of hate are apparent when people on this forum (and if they are veterans they should know better and be ashamed) calling for unilateral murder of a US citizen because of “suspicions”.

3.) law inforcement agentswho do their job are to be lauded – people who discuss topics based on actually knowledge are to be lauded – people who spew hatred and call for murder … yeah, not so much.
To the contrary, they are just as bad as those they claim to rail against.

4.) I teach Islam – and I never charge to educate people regarding faith.
I don’t believe a person’s religion Should be sold or used for economic advantage.

5.) as for my thought process – it’s kind of difficult to follow a logical course o a forum like this.
Someone says “lynch him”
I say, “why not let him see his day in court, so far all we know is he is suspected of accusations”
The response, “your stupid, shut up.”
I say, “I know this guy and it isn’t like that.”
Response, “you don’t know jack”
I say, “Iam his teacher and friend”
Response, “knew you were one of them.”
I say, “yes, never said I wasn’t.”
Response, “you lie and so we can’t believe you anyway.”
I say, “all I am saying is this young, 21 year old man is being accused of a crime and you are calling for his murder for no other reason that he is a Muslim – that is bigotry”
Response, “people like us save you from evil people.”
I say, calling for murder of suspected criminals who haven’t even stood before an judge yet is evil.”
Response,”your so naive – adult folk talking here…go back to your goats”.

So … I think my line of thought actually is more reasonable, logical, just, fair and … upright!

William

Also – I think it’s pretty wild how the forum gets thinner and thinner until one can no longer respond.
Never saw this before…it’s actually pretty cool.

rgr769

So, Willie, you are a ‘SlamoNazi indoctrinator of this tool. Let’s hope the FBI has eyes on you.

William

They do.

I have spoken with them several times.

Hopefully they keep an eye on this group with people calling for murder and looking up ways to harm others on the internet.

At any rate – Islamonazi is a funny term on a forum like this – you speak like an actual Nazi and act like the Muslims are polish Jews.

William

Lol

Threats?

Pain?

My words are part of a discussion – nothing more

Who do you mean by, “you people?”
Does that mean everyone except Southwest Asians?
I’m going to continue my ad hominem arguments since they are much more entertaining than your rubbish

William

Actually I meant ignorant rednecks – as i myself am a white American…not arab, African or Asian.

And that last point you made defines this forum as far as I can see – rather spit foolishness for entertainment than seek information to improve your perspectives.

Think about this for a moment – you have access to someone claiming to know the suspect and rather than ask a single question about him or the situation – everyone is much happier to offer up verbal attacks on character and calls for criminal acts …

… that is what I mean by “you people” – those characterized by this behavior on this forum.

Graybeard

Willy-boy, you are a tiresome boor, but a pathetic one who does not even rise to the level of “occasionally amusing.”

Go back to your study of the Great Pedophile’s rantings, ‘k?

RGR 4ź78

Did he (SAD) or did he not advocate support for the beheadings?

NHSparky

Uh, numbnuts? Pretty much everyone here has lost someone close to them at some point in their lives.

Don’t see any of us rushing out, trying to join ISIS, and go all Aloha Snackbar, do ya?

Now go beat your face.

William

So you want to lynch him because he is accused of the crime of obstruction of Justice?

That’s pretty sick isn’t it?

Or is it because he is a Muslim?

Well- that’s sicker andmakes you just as bad as the folk you claim to be against

sockpuppet sniper

Hardly as sick as Mr Duncan, the person you seek to make excuses for.
Mr Duncan was off to another country to rape & kill innocents and end up a martyr so He could get his 72 virgins, now that’s sick.
All in the name of Islam & Mohamad, now that’s sick.
The death cult of Islam & it’s followers are believers in only death & destruction of others….any sensible person has got to be against that.
William, Get up to speed and read about Islam, ‘The religion of peace’ website is a good place to start…. you may be enlightened, or then again not.

OWB

Doesn’t really matter much why this thug wanted to improve his thuggery. He chose to be a thug, and wanted to go international for training. That is all most of us need to know.

William

Actually – ihappentoknow mr. Duncan. AndIalso happen to know he wasn’t offroany other country as you claim.
The difference between what you are saying and what Iam saying is -what you are saying is steeped in hate and what I am saying is steeped in facts.

Also – I happen to be very familiar with Islam also and I would say, being that Iactuallymeet with andsit with muslims … I know that better thayou too.

But what is very clear is this :
Anamerican citizen was accused of obstruction of justice (that’s it!) but because he has a different faith than you, youencourage his murder.

I think that makes you pretty hateful and a bigot and worse than everything I actually know about Mr. Duncan first hand.

OWB

What facts?

Your statements of “facts” have absolutely nothing to do with reality, or even information you are in a position to possess.

Here, let me spell it out for you: You make assumptions then jump through hoops to reach absurd conclusions. That is not what sane folks consider facts, being steeped in facts, or any way to come into the possession of facts.

Silly boy. Now run along.

William

Actually – Sean isn’t student … in islam.

Soooooo… yeah.
I do know.

OWB

You know what? No one said anything about who you know and in what capacity. You are continuing to be unresponsive to the questions asked.

So go on – continue making assumptions, jumping to conclusions, and speaking nonsense concerning things about which you have no knowledge whatever.

But you can stop with your lying and prostheletizing. That crap won’t fly here.

But you already knew that.

sockpuppet sniper

William, It was easy to tell you were a fellow traveller, who else would jump to Duncan’s defence.
I also suspected you too were a Muslim convert, practising taqiyya and tawriya on the infidels & kuffar.
Your only a good Muslim when it suits you & the rest of the time your a dhimmi and an apologist for the Islamic death cultists.

You play the victim & call others hateful & bigots & encouraging murder…. Sounds just like the verses & hadiths in the Quran.

William

There is no taqiyya

I never claimed I was not a Muslim … or a good Muslim … whatever that means.

I jumped To sean’s Defense because he is my friend and My student, I have traveled with him, I know his family – both sides.

I know this young man and I know his innocence … and what he has done.

But what I also know is this forum is full of hatred and fear and calls for anarchy and violence.

What I see is a american being arrestedandhis fellow Americans calling for murder because of his faith!

Graybeard

“There is no taqiyya”

Ah-ha!

“In Shi’a Islam, taqiya is a form of religious lie, or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts, specially while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution. A similar concept in Sunni Islam is known as idtirar “coercion”. A related concept is known as kitman “concealment; dissimulation by omission”.”

The light has been revealed. “William” is a fellow follower of the Great Pervert.

How many goats in your haram, Willy-boy?

William

Aha – bigotry and ignorance further revealed on your part.

Bigotry with the goat statement…especially since I am a white american from a major city.
(Think the rednecks here have more claim on the goats)

Ignorance as – whenI said “no Taqiyya” I meant on my part.

As for what you shared – yes, that is shi’ite islam. I (and Sean) are Sunni.

Graybeard

a) that is not what you said, O Disciple of the Great Pedophile.

b) so you must be practicing ‘kitman’ instead.

“A white American from a major city” – how is that relevant to the fact that goats are considered by the disciples of the Great Pedophile an acceptable substitute to young boys or girls?

Athena

You’re a white “American” cuck sweetheart. Brainwashed by leftist/islamonazi theories.

Patrick408

William, do you know what he had on his thumb drive? Why crush it and submerge it in acid and run out the back when someone knocks on your door? Nothing to do with religion or race but those actions alone are suspicious… regardless he will get his day in court because he’s a US citizen!
I would love to hear your facts regarding the thumb drive, but I’m sure it will be crickets…

Graybeard

Just more assertion that he knows the facts and that we are all a bunch of brainless hooligans – that is all you’ll get out of Willy-boy.

HMCS(FMF) ret

I’m guessing that William has heard the adage “actions speak louder than words”… especially in this day and age.

Hmmm, I guess nobody ever told the Feebs that bad guys will run out the back door when you knock on the front door, unless you put a couple of agents at the back door? Who woulda thunk that?
Maybe he was supposed to be so impressed with the dark suit, white shirt, dark tie and shades that he would be stuck in one spot while they “knocked on the door”.

11B-Mailclerk

The subject is likely to have had a fairly rgood gulag schedule of time away from the home. Snagging him then, minimizes the potential for a flush at the home.

David Koresh, for example, went out for pizza the same day each week. He would have been a -trivial- takedown at such time. Instead, we wound up with shot up law enforcement, a siege, and a massacre.

Raiding the home is far more psychologically intimidating, than a curbside snatch. It also requires several teams to coordinate across a distance. I suspect that is why law enforcement often overlooks that “easy” catch.

I wonder if the recent up-tick in “Officers ambushed” events may cause a re-think of the “where to catch” question.

11B-Mailclerk

No idea how my first paragraph got mangled upon posting.

… a fairly regular schedule …..

Where the heck did “gulag” come from?

SaraSnipe

I remember the Texas Rangers telling batf to wait until welfare check & food stamp day to raid the lore she compound. That way the women & children will be out shopping for groceries. I also recall that female agent saying,”basically, we were outgunned” during the news conference the day they got their asses handed to them by the holy rollers. I thought the purpose of the raid was to take their guns away. They must have known there were Guns there.

desert

“Holy rollers”? why would you use a term like that? You should be a CNN fake news announcer…that is about as far from truth and reality as anything is!

OWB

Hello? The term “holy rollers” is, or at least was, commonly used to characterize fanatical worshipers. Would that not accurately describe the followers of David Koresh?

Then again, Sara Snipe may have meant something else. I dunno.

Graybeard

Dunno about the usage in your AO, OWB, but in East Texas we use/used “holy rollers” to refer to the more ecstatic “Pentecostal” type church goers.

Depending upon the type of fanatical worshipper, we used different epithets. YMMV

OWB

Haven’t heard anyone use the term in quite a while. It probably is a regional thing. So many words and phrases are.

Actually, the last time I heard the term used may have been in a history of religions class.

Graybeard

I don’t think I’ve heard it since the 1960’s, personally.

Along with ‘Hard-shell Baptist’, ‘Whiskey-palian’, and a few other terms. And I, too, ‘spect that there is some regional variation to the applications.

SaraSnipe

I used that term because that is what I think is a nicer term (and more convenient to type) than perverted child molester and his flock of dumbasses that let him get away with it. you ruined that for me since you snowflaked out, and got butt hurt about my use of it. It was not meant to disparage any other believers of any other stripe. if it hurts your feelings, too bad.

OWB

Thanks for the explanation. That was how I took your use of the term. So, you’re good. (At least in my tiny corner of the internet!)

Graybeard

So your use of “holy rollers” refers to the Koresh cults actions in the sheets while yelling “Oh God!”?

Gotcha.

Most if not the vast majority of Americans have no idea how lucky they are to have been born here Ex-PH2. They have no clue how the rest of the world lives.

IMO that’s one reason why the Pollyanna “Can’t we just all get along and play nice?” faction has such a huge presence at the State Department.

Simple answer: no, we can’t all just “get along”. There will always be those who are envious of America’s prosperity – and seek to either take what we have or destroy it so we can’t enjoy same.

I say everyone upon graduating from the junior league re-education camps – high school – have compulsory service in the military (those that are not of the miquetoast verity) for 2 years or 2 years in the Peace Corp or similar organization that makes them live in dung huts in 3rd world countries for 2 years. Then come back and see how good we have it.

Both are National security issues.

Their investigations are usually extremely good and thats because its what they are built for.

Often these boys and girls want to play street Police. They would be better off bringing some local coppers with, especially if they are in a big city.

They have a warrant and somehow this guy is able to remove a computer chip and make it out the back door before they got inside?

Did they also forget to station someone at the back door too?

Lawyers and accountants with guns. (Not all of them, but enough)

jonp

Good luck making that stick. He wasn’t under arrest or subpoena so anything and everything he had was his to do with as he wanted. How was he supposed to know they “wanted to arrest him”?
Look for him to pull a Hillary & Co defense. If she can get away with erasing emails and smashing equipment that actually is under subpoena then how is that going to work for him?

Hondo

As a Federal charge, it might. See 18 USC 1519.

That particular Federal statute (part of Sarbanes-Oxley) doesn’t seem to require specific knowledge that one is under investigation for any specific matter; only a general knowledge that Federal investigators might want the material if they choose to investigate appears required.

Seems a bit over-broad to me, but I don’t know whether it’s ever been challenged in Federal court on that basis.
