Hawaii: Soldier pledged allegiance to ISIS, wanted to kill ‘bunch of people’

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) –

An active duty Hawaii soldier who was arrested for allegedly trying to provide material support and training to the Islamic State told an undercover federal agent Saturday that he wanted to kill “a bunch of people.”

A criminal complaint alleges that Ikaika Erik Kang, 34, was arrested at his Waipahu apartment Saturday, shortly after pledging his loyalty to ISIS and making the threatening statement.

“A probable cause arrest was made in the interest of public safety,” Honolulu FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul D. Delacourt said Monday, after Kang’s first appearance in federal court.

He added, “We believe that Kang was a lone actor and was not associated with others who present a threat to Hawaii.”

Delacourt said Kang’s arrest came after an investigation that lasted for more than a year, and involved multiple agencies.  MORE

  1. “We believe that Kang was a lone actor and was not associated with others who present a threat to Hawaii.”

    No associations with others except one billion muslims.

  2. The military has know about his affinity for the enemy FOR YEARS. Yet, he’s still active duty military with a security clearance??
    This is a perfect picture of the erosion of our military. Lots of work to do to MOMGA

  3. We we bring these people in, then we need expensive resources to monitor them for a year or more. Then when we run out of babysitters and they attack the gov’t will just claim, “They were KNOWN to the gov’t under a watch list.” –yeah, they were known but you didn’t do anything about it b/c you couldn’t or didn’t want to.

    Oh well, the killer was a lone-wolf, or “homegrown” – nothing to worry about, its just one.

  4. Maybe we could administer a “basic sanity test” to ALL govt employees, ask things like “have you ever supported an ideology hostile to the US?”, and “do you think it’s not a problem to offshore our industry and import massive labor during bad times”. Fire anyone who can’t score 100%, or who lies, and take their fscking pensions. Enough lunatic idiocy in the lifetime bureaucrats who are our actual rulers.
