Florida Woman Who Crashed Car into Broward Sheriff’s Office Frequented Radical Pompano Mosque

FrontPage: What would cause 34-year-old mother Lasandra Johnson to attempt to turn her red Toyota Camry into a car bomb targeting local law enforcement? She had been in trouble with the law before. Was this a way to get back at authority? Or was it related to her newfound association with a radical mosque? Given the Islamic Center of South Florida’s ties to extremism, the latter is a very likely scenario.

Shortly before 11:30 am, on Monday, March 21st, Lasandra Lavette Johnson drove a red Toyota Camry loaded with accelerants and a full tank of gas into the Pembroke Pines, Florida district substation of the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO). Following impact, a fire erupted from the car. According to a worker on the scene, Johnson was “engulfed in flames.” Johnson was hospitalized with burn wounds and later charged with “arson and burglary.” News reports about the attack did not mention the fact that Johnson was a devout Muslim, thus omitting a potentially crucial aspect of the story.

In May 2017, as evidenced on her social media, Johnson had gone through a major transformation. She went from being a committed Christian, posting images of Jesus on the cross, and professing her wholehearted belief in him, to being a fundamentalist Muslim, wearing the hijab (head covering), and attending mosque. Finding religion for Johnson seemed to be a way to escape from her former life of partying and drugs. Indeed, Johnson had been arrested, in May 2012, for cocaine possession, followed by a probation violation, in November 2012.

The mosque that she chose to attend was the Islamic Center of South Florida (ICOSF), based in Pompano Beach, Florida. Not surprisingly, that mosque has significant links to terror and bigotry.  more here

  1. Broward County? … did Scott Peterson run away from this also?

    wonder where the Coward of Broward County was at the time?

  2. I’d forgotten about her, but now tie what she did to the muslim dude who tried to get into Travis AFB last week. His car was full of propane tanks and gasoline cans. I think some of their brethren and cistern (sorry) might play copycat. ISIS, in the days before Trump and McMaster, published a magazine for the at home, do-it-yourselfing jihadi, describing various forms of individual jihad. My recollection is using cars as bombs was among the suggested tactics. Maybe not, but that’s how I recall the ISIS fish wrap.

  3. Rat Fink, I’m guessing the fire didn’t improve her appearance any. Still very sad to see someone who had a place in heaven throw it away. Hope she turns it back around.
