He wanted to join the Islamic State, after discarding a plan to blow up the subway in Los Angeles. So here once again we see a convert to Islam ready to commit treason in the cause of his new religion. The mainstream media and law enforcement establishment, however, remain indifferent to this phenomenon.
“California student pleads guilty to terrorism charge,” by Veronica Rocha, Los Angeles Times, December 2, 2015:
A former community college student, who allegedly discussed attacking the subway in Los Angeles, has pleaded guilty to a federal terrorism charge for trying to enter Canada so that he could eventually travel to the Mideast to help wage holy war, prosecutors said.
Nicholas Teausant, 22, of Acampo, Calif., was charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, according to Benjamin B. Wagner, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento.

Teausant, a student at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, had been looking for ways to support and provide materials to terrorist organizations, the affidavit states.
He made his interests known on social media, even posting comments under an alias on Instagram, authorities said.
“Don’t get me wrong I despise america and want its downfall but yeah haha,” Teausant wrote. “I been part of the army for two years now and I would love to join Allah’s army but I don’t even know how to start.”…
According to the affidavit, Teausant told a confidential source that he and friends talked about “hitting” the subway in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. But authorities said the plot was canceled due to security concerns and fears that the FBI had identified and arrested someone….
