DEFINITELY. RANDI. As you can see, this is still the case. AN ACTIVE SCENE HERE ALONG MANDEVILLE STREET IN NOFD, FBI ALL ON SITE HERE. THIS IS WHERE SUSPECT SHAMSUDDIN JABAR SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN AN AIRBNB. Some kind of explosive device was found yesterday. WHEN NEIGHBORS TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION IN THE HOUSE. Now, as we know, laptops, phones and other evidence were also confiscated. There has been a lot of construction in this area, so it’s really not that accessible. But some neighbors from this area have reached out to me and told me how they have been living in fear since the situation. I just spoke to a man who lives a few doors down. HE TELLS ME HE THINKS JABAR HAD STAYED IN THAT AIRBNB FOR WEEKS, I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE BUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT AWAITED HIS ATTENTION. When he looked into Jabar’s eyes as he told him about walking down the street recently, Jabar was actually standing in front of a nearby store. LISTEN BECAUSE HIS EYES ARE VERY CLEAR. SO LOOKING INTO THOSE EYES AND ALREADY FEELING A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, THAT JUST MADE ME REALIZE SOMETIMES NOT KNOWING WHO’S NEXT DOOR OR WHAT KIND OF EVIL THINGS THINKING ABOUT YOU. When I heard that the gentleman had been living on the street and renting an Airbnb literally four doors from my house, I felt a rush of anger and disgust when I learned that this truck had been on my street. I had seen this truck. If you could imagine living apart from someone who would commit such a heinous act, we are working to find out as much information as possible about the suspect’s report
