Police Find Guns, Ammo, and Terrorist Flags at Home of SJP Leaders From George Mason University
“they found firearms—modern weapons, not antiques—as well as scores of ammunition and foreign passports, all of which sat in plain view”
Schools across the country have been infected with an antisemitic lunacy fueled largely by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, and George Mason University in Virginia is no exception.
Two sisters at the school who are members of SJP are believed to have led a group in vandalizing a school property, causing thousands of dollars in damage, a felony in Virginia.
When police obtained a warrant to search their home, they were shocked at what they found.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
When officers entered the Chanaa family home, they found firearms—modern weapons, not antiques—as well as scores of ammunition and foreign passports, all of which sat in plain view, according to court documents obtained by the Free Beacon and sources familiar with the investigation.
They also found pro-terror materials, including Hamas and Hezbollah flags and signs that read “death to America” and “death to Jews,” according to court documents and sources familiar.
Police seized the weapons under Virginia’s red flag law, arguing that Mohammad Chanaa, the students’ brother and a George Mason alumnus, was “linked to destruction of property in connection with a large group of people with like-minded rhetoric” and posed a danger to others given his possession of “terroristic” materials.
On the day of the search, Nov. 7, law enforcement officials removed “long guns” from the residence, sources say. A day later, Mohammad Chanaa voluntarily relinquished his 9mm handgun and concealed carry permit, according to court records. He was not charged with a crime—Virginia’s red flag law gives gun owners 14 days to petition a judge to return their firearms, and Mohammad Chanaa did so on Nov. 21. A Fairfax County circuit court judge granted his request as part of the civil case.
The Washington Post article defending these students is absurd:
Campus ban for two pro-Palestinian activists sparks outcry at George Mason
A coalition of organizations representing faculty, staff, students and other advocacy groups at George Mason University and beyond is alleging that university police acted inappropriately in banning two pro-Palestinian student activists from campus and searching their family’s home for reasons authorities have yet to describe publicly.
A letter signed by more than 90 advocacy and faculty organizations and a Virginia state lawmaker takes aim at criminal trespass orders that bar two sisters — one the co-president of Students for Justice in Palestine, the other a past president — from campus for four years. It alleges the students were apparently targeted “for their advocacy for Palestinian human rights” and were told that the search was related to alleged property damage on campus. The letter urged administrators to revoke the trespass orders and investigate the events that led to their execution.
This is all part of a serious problem that has been growing in American higher education for over a year now.

I know I am shocked! Try convict and deport..
Gee, what a shock that supporters of terrorists turn out to be terrorists themselves
One of life’s constants: No matter when in time, no matter where in the world, find Muslims, find trouble.
Vandalism is a crime. Owning flags and firearms is not.
Hello! Have you ever heard of Muslim de-escalation? Have you ever heard of Hamasholes backing down? Do you think that maybe in the future they will use those guns? That was the whole point of the Red Flag law to take a situation that if we wait for it to develop, it will be too late. These future terrorists have 14 days to get their guns back if no further evidence is found that incriminates them. I own an arsenal but I am for red flag laws if it stops one terrorist attack.
“Red flag” laws that seize people’s guns without due process are unconstitutional. Giving someone 14 days to get their guns back doesn’t cure that. You need due process before depriving someone of a constitutional right.
Gererally true.. bu i appears in this case the “sweet sisters” are strongly implicated in a signicant vandalism charge, elony level i true, ad have been prety high proile in violence and intimidation onand about the campus. They are now going ater electronic records to attempt to esablish a link to the serious vandalism in whith they are iplicaed. A elony bust or the mayhem and damage would justiy coniscating their arms, per law. Wait and see what urns up linking this pair to more serious charges. Given their recent history and apparent present involvement in erroristic acts o signiicnce, I hold tht the gun securing is justiied. I he current evidence rail deadends, they’ll get their guns back quickly.
Not generally true, ALWAYS true. If these sisters have committed crimes, then prosecute them for those crimes. Likewise, if the brother has committed crimes, then prosecute him for those crimes. If there is no prosecution, there is NO REASON for the government to have seized his firearms in the first place.
Either you believe in the Constitution, or you do not. It’s a binary solution.
If you have a family member who has committed a crime, been accused of a crime, or made a threat, should you lose your rights? Think about that. If you think they should, you’re living in the wrong country.
I strongly disagree. Red flag laws are just unconstitutional. The brother legally owned the gun and even had a permit. If a person is an imminent threat to himself or others, then have a mental evaluation done and commit them to a hospital for 10 days. If he is a criminal threat, arrest him. Red flag laws were written to stop people with mental issues from committing mass shootings. They don’t work. However, they do work in depriving a person of the right to due process and the right to keep and bear arms. All red flag laws should be rescinded.
I’m certainly not a fan of campus vandalism or antisemitism. I’m less a fan of Red Flag laws.
Red Flag laws proceed from the premise that it’s okay for the state to infringe on someone’s constitutional rights just because you think it’s a good idea and then hide behind the fact that some judge said it was okay.
It’s hard to see due process when the one on the receiving end has committed no crime. Most Red Flag laws don’t require a crime to have even occurred before stripping people of their constitutional rights. Due process protections don’t kick in until after the police have taken your guns and deprived you of your 2nd amendment rights, often by force, at gun point, and risk of death if you dare to resist or protest.
Police obtained a search warrant for the home of two sisters allegedly involved in campus vandalism. When police executed the warrant, they found firearms, ammunition (what quantity constitutes “scores of ammunition” by the way?), “foreign passports,” and so-called “terrorist flags.” Despite no crime having occurred (ownership of those items not being offenses), the police invoked Virginia’s Red Flag law, seized the weapons and ammunition and stripped the owner of his constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
The actual owner of the firearms, either the sisters’ father or brother, apparently had a concealed carry permit and was entitled to own the firearms, was not charged with any crime, and eventually got his firearms back. But only after having been stripped of his rights first.
Neither a brother or father were mentioned as being involved in any campus vandalism, which is presumably what the warrant involved. Yet that is whose rights were trampled upon. If the sisters were involved in campus vandalism, what was the purpose of the search warrant? What did police hope to find? What probable cause was cited to justify the warrant?
If the state can strip you of your second amendment rights because they can convince a judge it’s a good idea, what’s to stop them doing the same with the first, or the fourth, or the fifth, or even the thirteenth or fourteenth amendment? If you let them do it with any of your rights, all your rights are at risk.
‘ (what quantity constitutes “scores of ammunition” by the way?),’
Multiples of 20, so the minimum is 40 rounds, which isn’t very much. One report mentioned 30 fully loaded 20-round magazines.
Are they citizens or here on visas?
It doesn’t matter. Unless and until they’re convicted of a crime, they have the right to possess guns, ammunition, passports, flags, and literature.
Only certain visas include the right to own firearms. Unsure what visa these sisters had, but the likely weren’t the owners of the firearms so it probably doesn’t matter.
The guns may also not be legally owned. Foreign passports aren’t legal I believe if they are US citizens.
What the hell are you talking about? The second amendment is enough for the guns to be “legally owned”. Virginia is not New York, which pretends the 2nd amendment doesn’t exist.
And why on earth would foreign passports be illegal? What conceivable law could ban them?
They were probably just getting ready for a seminar at Columbia U.
My tack on this is decidedly different.
“When officers entered the Chanaa family home, they found firearms—modern weapons, not antiques—as well as scores of ammunition and foreign passports, all of which sat in plain view”
Now, I don’t know about passports, but… The Washington Free Beacon is shocked — simply shocked — that a home where the brother who has a concealed carry permit lives had firearms and ammo — and working ones, bizmillah, not just useless antiques! It’s Virginia, you DC douchebags, not Massachusetts, where they throw you in prison for hanging a rusted-out flintlock over your fireplace.
And “scores” of ammunition! Clutch mah pearls! A single box of ammo typically consists of 50 rounds. Damn, that’s over two “scores” right there! Hey, Wal-Mart clerk, cant’cha, like, phase in these people’s supply chain, maybe one bullet at a time?
And last but not least, note that good old red-flag law, always sold as a handy tool for “family or friends” to temporarily disarm a questionable loved one, was cited by the jackboots (hint: the law was actually passed for them to abuse, not your family) to confiscate personal property. And the confiscation was so “u-word” that a Fairfax County(!) judge gave them all right back… to these terrible, terrible people!
The threatening flags? As I’m sure Milhouse will be here shortly to confirm, those are just “protected speech.” They can’t possibly be grounds for any negative law-enforcement action — not legally.
The police didn’t arrest anybody, they just confiscated legal property. They still haven’t arrested anybody, which tells you what you need to know. The stuff has even been returned, because there was no probable cause basis to confiscate it.
Now these people may be despicable terrorists, but hey — “first they came for the terrorists nobody liked, then suddenly your rights are gone too”
Short of quartering troops in these people’s home, I can’t see how unconstitutionality could scream any louder.
I think all convicted terrorists should hang, but I fully agree with everything you said about red flag laws.
These laws are an abomination.
I live un MA (regrettably) and have a nicely cleaned musket over my mantle. That is actually about the only thing that is not illegal in MA.
One of the things I find curious about the anti-gun crowd is that although they insist the 2nd Amendment protects nothing but the arms that were in existence at the time of its ratification, they are also the same people who don’t think we have a right to swords, long knives, double-edged knives (illegal in Seattle, for instance), and a wide variety of other edged weapons that most certainly existed back then. Which exposes them as liars who actually believe the 2nd Amendment reserves your right to absolutely nothing that they find objectionable.
Please do not jump in the MSM scare bandwagon.
I see that kind of headline all the time: “Police find guns, ammo blah blah …”
Yeah.
They will find guns and ammo in millions of homes across America. It is a right we have, don’t we?
So if a crime is/was committed, let’s frame the headline appropriately. Can we do that?
I don’t see the story here. Some nazi supporters had a few guns, “scores of ammunition” whatever that’s supposed to mean, some nazi flags, and copies of Mein Kampf or the Arabic equivalent. Oh, and “foreign passports”!!!!!!! As if that’s in any way unusual.
None of these are in any way illegal, and VA’s “red flag” law is unconstitutional.
As I live in Fairfax, I’ll confirm it’s a hot mess, with a Soros DA who is a real piece of work,
