“After the hearing, Thornton described his client as ‘a young kid who was tweeting from his bedroom. He’s very sorry that he ever got himself involved in something like this.'”
His targets would have been even sorrier if this poor “young kid” had carried out his plans.
Meanwhile, is anyone investigating where he learned his understanding of Islam, or is that question being waved away yet again with the claim that he was “radicalized on the Internet”?
“Pennsylvania man, 20, pleads guilty to charges he conspired to aid the Islamic State,” Associated Press, January 30, 2017 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
A 20-year-old Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty Monday to trying to help the Islamic State group and to tweeting out a list that identified and targeted people serving in the U.S. military.
Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz faces the potential of up to 25 years and a $500,000 fine after admitting to a charge of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State group and to transmitting a communication containing a threat, both felonies.
Aziz, a natural born American arrested in Harrisburg in December 2015, used about 70 different Twitter accounts and an encrypted mobile messaging application to spread messages from the Islamic State group and to help people trying to travel to territory it controls, said federal counterterrorism prosecutor Robert Sander.
In March 2015, Aziz published on Twitter a list of more than 100 American military personnel that included photos, rank and addresses, along with instructions to kill them, Sander told the judge. Aziz referred to it as an assassination list, Sander said.
The message exhorted people to ‘kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their street.’
Federal officials say the service members on the list were notified and appropriate security measures were taken.
During a search in November 2015, authorities found five high-capacity magazines, a knife, a balaclava and other equipment in the home he shared in Harrisburg with his parents.
Federal public defender Thomas Thornton said Aziz does not remember all of the messages he was accused of sending or retweeting.
After the hearing, Thornton described his client as ‘a young kid who was tweeting from his bedroom.’
‘He’s very sorry that he ever got himself involved in something like this,’ Thornton said.
Authorities have said Aziz also expressed on Twitter his interest in ‘buying’ a Yazidi woman upon his arrival in Islamic State group territory.
‘I just want one girl 17 years old,’ he tweeted, according to federal prosecutors.
In a filing last week that argued the Yazidi posts were irrelevant and should not be evidence at trial, Thornton called the communications ‘no more than the fantastical musings of an isolated and suppressed teenage boy.’
Yazidis, whose heartland is in Iraq’s remote Sijar region, have been targeted by Islamic State group militants for conversion and elimination, and Yazidi women have described being forced into sexual slavery….

Evil filthy animal scum. Only 25 years?

Don’t worry about 25 years , it’s fresh meat for a prison gangbang

Good news, then: what’s on the internet, like his tweets, rarely, if ever, goes away.

Ah, yes. Firstly, a twenty-year old man is not a “teenage boy”. Then, it is not as though he was a shy kid dreaming about dating a popular girl; instead, he was dreaming about *buying a sex slave*.
And of course this is salient–using Infidel girls as sex slaves and slaughtering Kuffar–especially non-Muslim military and security who protect Infidels–both show his dedication to orthodox Islam.
Eric Jones says
How was Azziz able to get the photos , rank and address of the military personnel to be targeted? This case should not only end with Azziz but look further into who supplied him with the info. on military personnel. How many islamic moles are their in the Defense Department? We just got rid of one at the White House.

Vic says
Yes, my very question. How did he have access? Who helped him make that list? Seems they would be investigating more fully.

Agreed, Eric.
Pumbar says
A twenty-year old man is not a “teenage boy”.
I’m sure if he was a “refugee” in the EU, based on his picture, he would be listed as around 13. Plonked into a foster home and secondary school like a giant cuckoo of the caliphate.

The mosque burner got 30 years. Why only 25 for this pinhead ? Is he the child of migrants, or a ghetto convert ? It would be funny if ISIS started making geldings out of volunteers like him, to guard the harems.
Terry says
HE IS A YOUNG KID.
HE IS TWENTY YEARS OLD. IF HE STARTED 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO- SO 17-18 OR SO?
THAT IS NOT A KID.
THAT IS AN ADULT.
He should be treated like Jeff Dahlmer, when he gets to a prison. preferably on his 2nd day

Very dangerous to have lists of military members data and then have a problem with technical diversity terrorist interlopers to grab the data. How many more are out there, hope they get good intelligence out of him.
Wellington says
Black Muslims are, speaking in the aggregate, the most clueless Muslims of all. The horrible Islamic record on black slavery eclipses that of the West (which is certainly bad enough) and from sundry standpoints—–1) from the matter of pure duration, seventh century versus fifteenth century; 2) the sheer numbers of black Africans enslaved by the Islamic world versus the Western world; 3) the capacity to realize the great wrong which was black African slavery which the West did and which the Islamic world to this day has not; and 4) the capacity to apologize for said wrongdoing, which the West has done profusely so and which the Islamic world has not done at all.
Also not to be forgotten is that the founder of Islam, the Profiteer Mohammed, owned black slaves and made many scurrilous comments about blacks, for instance their being “raisinheads.” {Bukhari Hadith 1:662}. Thus, while all Muslims are confused human beings, black Muslims fall into the extra confused category here. Put another way, blacks being Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, agnostic, et al. does not present a stupidity problem whatsoever. Blacks being Muslim most assuredly does.
And where black Muslim women are concerned, considering Islam’s track record on both black human beings and women, they are in a truly special category all by themselves. N.B., it is not a laudatory category. No, quite the opposite. And just as Western feminists should be ashamed of their silence, or even endorsement at times, of Islam’s inherent misogyny, black Muslim women should be exponentially ashamed if they freely continue to be Muslim and speak up for the worst religion ever created by man. For these women I have no respect. No one of sense should.

I will say: Somalia, and I am so sick an tired of being PC, that I will bet that he was not born in the USA, probably came as a child or was born in Somalia, but the media does not want to “worry us” and will try to avoid, all the time, to mention a muzzie name without making sure to indicate that they were born in USA, Sweden, France, etc., going as far as most of the times, telling us they were British, French, Belgium, German, USA, Denmark …. citizens!!!!

This man is not very smart, and was not planning on living long. Military families watch your six at all times cause these idiots are not going to give up. If you can carry a sidearm, please do so. I believe a couple years ago a laptop did get stolen that had a lot of ex military personal info.
