Travesty: Muslim who aided San Bernardino jihad massacre gets only 25 years

Feb 17, 2017 4:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“Why is this man [Marquez] not being charged with murder? If he had not purchased those weapons, we would not be here. He should get life without parole. A whole life. He’s going to get a slap on the wrist. I can’t get my head around it.”

Neither can I. It’s a travesty of justice. But of course, the criminal justice system doesn’t want to appear “Islamophobic.”

“‘Travesty’: Father of San Bernardino victim tears into justice system as Islamic extremist convert who aided mass murderers ESCAPES a life sentence,” by Ruth Styles, Dailymail.com, February 16, 2017:

The father of one of the San Bernardino terror attack victims has called the fact that the Muslim convert who aided the mass murderer will escape a life term a ‘travesty’.

Enrique Marquez Jr was in court in Riverside, California, Thursday to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal that will see him sentenced to a maximum of 25 years.

He bought guns which were used in the massacre and had been plotting other terror attacks for years with Syed Rizwan Farook.

He had been facing up to 50 years behind bars if he had been convicted after a trial.

But Gregory Clayborn, 58, of Los Angeles, California, stood up before Judge Jesus G. Bernal to demand he gets life without parole. Outside court, he called the deal a ‘travesty’.

Clayborn’s daughter Sienna, 27, was one of the 14 gunned down by Farook, 29, and his Pakistani wife Tashfeen Malik, 30, at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino on December 2 2015.

Fighting back tears, he said: ‘Why is this man [Marquez] not being charged with murder? If he had not purchased those weapons, we would not be here.

He added: He should get life without parole. A whole life. He’s going to get a slap on the wrist. I can’t get my head around it.

‘Travesty’: Gregory Claybourn, who lost his daughter Sierra, spoke in court to ask why Marquez was not being jailed for life and outside said: ‘It’s a travesty and the judicial system needs to fix it.’

‘Those 22 people who were injured – their lives will never be the same. My life will never be the same. Your Honor, please give us closure.’

Outside court, fighting back tears, he added: ‘Why is this man [Marquez] not being charged with murder? If he had not purchased those weapons, we would not be here.

He added: ‘He should get life without parole. A whole life. He’s going to get a slap on the wrist. I can’t get my head around it.’

Speaking outside court after the hearing concluded, Claybourn described the 25-year maximum sentence as ‘a travesty’ and complained that ‘criminals have more rights than we do’.

He added: ‘Being surprised like this, with what happened, and this guy not being charged with the actual murders, it just made me angry. It really made me angry.

‘It just broke my heart because the thing is, if you’ve never been in this position, if you’ve never had your child taken from you by such callous people, you begin to include all folks who are working, seemingly thinking for that purpose….

      billybob, I might agree if Marquez–I wonder what his Muslim name is?–had just supplied money or other material support to the Jihadists–but he supplied *their weapons*.

      Moreover, he *knew* that Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik intended to slaughter innocent Americans–the original plan was to launch attacks on the 91 Freeway and Riverside City College. Marquez and Farook formulated the plans together.

      The specifics of the plan changed, but it had always intended to cold-bloodedly mass murder people–and that is exactly what these Jihadists did.

      Still, it is a better sentence than is often handed out in Europe for mass murder itself–that’s something.

        Innocent Americans?? You are confused again. Were not ALL of the people killed employed by a government agency that fits the stereotype of obnoxous nanny statism?

        Why, yes, they were. So it would be a great improvement if EVERY such nanny state department full of tax eaters could be cleared out in a similar fashion. (I nominate the entire Social Security Admin, just for starters.) If it comes to pass, let’s not shed even one tear for any of the supposed victims, who are fully committed to no less brutality toward anyone who dares to resist their bureaucratic bossiness. True, our brutal bureaucrats often rely upon the police to do their bully work, but that is not justification for them.

          …………………………….

          Good grief. The victims worked for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, who largely handle such uncontroversial matters as preventing communicable diseases and promoting traffic safety.

          It is possible that office staffing there is somewhat bloated–always a danger with any governmental offices, but that’s about as bad as it was likely to be.

          Do I believe that these people deserved to be slaughtered for that reason? No, I do not.

          Nor did Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik murder these people because they worked in the public sector. The other targets they had plotted to murder were drivers on a local freeway and students and instructors at a community college.

          Whatever one’s views on Social Security, the idea that it is as brutal as Jihad terrorism is bizarre in the extreme.

          And your apparent belief that Jihadists just target leftist governmental agencies is *quite* mistaken–they are as apt to slaughter those attending patriotic events.

          But it comes as no surprise to find that you are once again applauding Jihad terrorism–recently, you said that you hated Americans and considered them less ‘manly’ than Muslims devoutly attending Mosque. *Ugh*.

          Here’s what you said on that thread:

          “GI, please recall that Jesus was a Jew, and that many, many adult American males, nominally men, worship that pathetic rabble rouser even though it’s as obvious as the sun is yellow that he was a sentimental sophist who committed suicide. Those males are Jew worshippers, and you will find more men in any given masjid of Arabia on a Friday afternoon than among all of America’s male Jew worshippers.”

          https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/uc-berkeley-left-fascists-riot-prevent-milo-speech-trump-threatens-federal-funds#comment-1610406

          You also said that if Americans were “real men” that they would take on not Jihadists, but would mass murder police officers.

          You also said of adult American males that “almost all of them are degenerates”–presumably for not butchering police.

          I posed the following salient question to you on that thread:

          “if real men murder police officers, how many cops have you killed? I hope the body count is pretty high, or else I may have to question your masculinity…”

          You may not have seen it, I realize, so I am asking you again here. Are you yourself ‘doing the right thing’ by going out slaughtering police officers? And if not, why not?

      Given the difficulty of proving indirect participation in a murder and in GETTING A JURY TO CONVICT a person who “only” supplied the guns, the DA got an EXTREMELY good deal and should be commended.

      Remember Al Capone was never nailed for the countless murders he ordered. Here we have a guy who was not even the initiator.

      At a trial, he could have made up some BS about the weapons being needed for defense, etc. etc.

      With this deal, the People of California won’t have to pay for an expensive trial, appeals, etc.

      Well done, DA Team!

        Well done, my Aunt Fannie. What low standards we have for convicting an accessory to terror and mass murder–before and after the fact. I hope the co-conspirator gets out early and has an “accident.”

        • Custos Custodum says

          Feb 18, 2017 at 3:08 pm

          The practicalities of convicting someone of a terrorist offence are – by design – daunting. This is simply the reality of the law and legal system as they exist in actual practice at the moment. Against this reality, the sentence reflects a sterling effort by the DA.

          Our law and practices may or may not be smart policy in terms of the conflicting aims of (1) deterring terrorism and (2) safeguarding civil rights from government overreach. But they are the reality.

          The law is to some extent an automaton – one needs to be very careful how to program it. Do you want a Hillary administration to lock YOU up for years without trial based on an unsubstantiated claim of “terrorism”?

      He made many conscious decisions to help someone he knew to be a potential killer. He could have backed out at any minute, gone to the cops and said, “Hey, I know this crazy fucker who’s going to back up traffic and start shooting at stuck drivers…”

      He’s just as much a killer as the two shooters.

The prison gangs in Ca. had, or knew or are aware of his assistance to harm these people. He will not be treated well in the local prison pits… 25 years may turn into a “life” sentence … If you know what I mean…

    A ‘travesty’ ?

    That’s being generous.

    Aiding and abetting premeditated mass murder is unconscionable, except to murderers.

    if sentencing was at the judge’s discretion there should be an uproar to have him (or her) removed from the bench.

    Marquez is not being charged for Terrorism, he is being charged for Stupidity.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 17, 2017 at 8:10 pm

      Glenn, I don’t believe that plotting violent Jihad terrorism and supply the weaponry to murder the victims is “stupidity”–it is something far worse than that.

      • Custos Custodum says

        Feb 17, 2017 at 8:19 pm

        Agree – in an ideal world, those who STUPIDLY aid and abet violent crimes should be punished at least as severely as those to did so intentionally.

        Of course, some naifs will be caught out who honestly (but stupidly) thought they were only doing X. Some may even have acted under duress.

        The important thing is to make an example PRECISELY of those hard cases in the most public manner available. The aim is deterrence – to hammer into even the thickest skulls the message that terrorism and murder are capital crimes, no ifs, no buts.

        After this, the next naif/naive who claims they were “only trying to do X” will be reminded of the previous person who was hanged for stupidity.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 18, 2017 at 6:48 pm

          The point I was making is that Marquez wasn’t doing something that could be interpreted as just stupid but not evil–such as giving his pals use of his credit card or vehicle or something. Something like this may have indeed aided these Jihadists, but not necessarily deliberately.

          But Marquez *knew* they were plotting violent Jihad–in fact, he plotted with them, even if in the end they chose a different target. And then he bought them weapons with which to murder innocent people. It’s not like he thought they were going to use them for target practice…

    Was the prosecutor competent? Seems like he wasn’t.

    If 1 participant out of 3 in a bank robbery kills someone then ALL participants are guilty of murder not just the one who did the shooting. Why is this any different?

    For a little more detail on how fortunate San Bernardino residents were that day, I’ll share part of a book I’m writing.

    “Audacity is defined as the willingness to take bold risks. But, rather than be audacious, the SBPD narcotics team took up mobile surveillance of the SUV when it left the 50 block of North Center Street in Redlands, and followed Farook through the NW corner of the city of Redlands, onto Interstate 10 and then west to the off-ramp at I-10 and South Tippecanoe Ave. This is the location at which the SBPD sergeant apparently botched the traffic stop because he didn’t feel “comfortable” pulling in behind Farook in the SUV. Again, the cops got very lucky that day because, if Farook had decided to go straight through the intersection of I-10 and South Tippecanoe Ave, he would have found himself in an extremely target-rich environment. Just to the west of that large intersection is a major shopping and entertainment district complete with establishments with such famous names as Sam’s Club, Costco, Best Buy, Home Depot, Outback Steakhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, TGI Friday’s. Oh, and a Chuck E Cheese; exceptional dangers to which I’ve covered in detail elsewhere in this book. And, who knows; maybe that target-rich shopping center was in fact where the shooters were headed when they left Redlands with SPBD following. Maybe they got stuck at the light and figured they couldn’t get into the shopping center parking lot before the cops got the jump on them so they took a quick right on South Tippecanoe Ave. The shooters didn’t start putting on their tactical gear until after the cops began to show an interest in them at the intersection leading to the shopping center, so maybe they had left the house in regular clothes so as to not arouse suspicions, but they were going to get properly dressed for a husband/wife swarm attack in the Home Depot parking lot and then start shooting up the various retail establishments. If I were a bad-guy with a bad attitude and a shit-load of ammo, that’s what I’d do.”

    Based on the research I’ve done, I’m convinced Farook and Malik were going into that shopping / entertainment area in order to kill as many Infidels as they could. That December day could have been a lot worse and Marquez had enough guilty knowledge before the first round was fired to have earned just as sudden and violent a death as his co-religionists got.

      Disturbing stuff, Undaunted.

      By the way, a few months ago you said you were going to answer the questions you posed to myself and other Jihad Watchers. I am still interested; I’m sure many others here would be, as well.

      • Undaunted says

        Feb 18, 2017 at 11:30 pm

        GI: sorry I lost track of time. Here is some of my reply.

        Undaunted, I admit to being something of a “book dork” myself–a 5’1″ middle-aged female artist and historian. My main area of contribution is probably *not* going to be physically kicking ass–that doesn’t mean I don’t very much respect that ability, though.

        Robert Spencer himself is not a warrior–but he is a brave Anti-Jihadist, and has a great deal to contribute–more than many of us. I think the Counter Jihad needs to be fought on multiple fronts, and that many of us have a lot to contribute to the effort.

        Let me take a stab at your quiz–which admittedly is not my area of expertise:

        – What event changed police tactics in ASR?

        I know ASR is “Active Shooter Response”–I believe what changed tactics was Columbine, and that police now try to enter a situation earlier than previously to save lives, rather than waiting for SWAT Teams to show up.

        More: Correct, it was Columbine. And I think Robert Spencer is a great warrior; his battlefield is the mind and he’s a Jedi Knight.

        – What armed attack method is most often used by terrorists?

        I’m not sure–usually an individual or small group focusing on unarmed people, as at Orlando, San Bernardino, the Bataclan, Beslan, the Westgate Mall in Kenya, the Ft. Lauderdale airport and other “soft” targets, I would assume.

        More: The most often used attack method is with an edged weapon. However, in terms of inflicting mass casualties, the method of choice is the swarm attack: Numerous heavily-armed attackers hitting a target (or set of targets) as a dispersed but coordinated action, such as the Mumbai teams.

        – What is the best defense against that method?

        Being armed oneself, I would imagine.

        More: The best counterattack to a swarm is a swarm: multiple heavily-armed police officers find, fix, and destroy the individual terrorist swarm team members and don’t stop until all the bad-guys are dead or captured. Unfortunately, all current tactical responses to a swarm consist of linear movements of police teams, like a “stack” of SWAT operators moving up to a door, going through it, down the hall together… pretty maids all in a row.Cops need to be trained and equipped for one-man response to these events, with each individual aware that other officers will be in the area at the same time, all simultaneously hunting the shooters. But it won’t happen because most police departments are more worried about officer safety than with killing bad-guys in order to save the innocent and defenseless.

        – What elements are most important in this best defense?

        I don’t know.

        More: Elusiveness, standoff capability, and superior situational awareness.

        Elusiveness: the ability of cops to elude detection by the bad-guys as they – the cops – move aggressively toward contact.

        Standoff capability: the ability for cops to hit bad-guys with small arms fire from more than an arm’s length away. This means bringing ARs and shotguns and shitloads of ammo into a gunfight.

        Superior situational awareness: the cops need to know more about the battlefield than the shooters. Cops need to know terrain, how buildings and streets relate to one another in order to “move through walls” as the Israeli’s do, what the probable targets are, and most likely avenues of attack, etc.

        – What does V + O = T mean?

        I don’t know.

        More: Vulnerability plus Opportunity equals a Target.

        Vulnerability: There are people in your office building.

        Opportunity: There is unarmed security there and easy approaches.

        Therefore your building is a target because I can get to you and kill you easily.

          Thank you so much, Undaunted–I appreciate your reply. I’ve been looking forward to reading about this.

          I know what you mean about vulnerable targets–of course, the free West is full of such unguarded or lightly-guarded targets.

          I very much agree with you about Robert Spencer.

          A question–is any law enforcement using your “swarm” defense? Is this used by the military?

        • Undaunted says

          Feb 19, 2017 at 11:53 am

          GI; the remainder of my reply:
          – Who “invented” MACTAC and when?
          I’m not sure; I know it was developed quite recently, though, and that civilian police departments are being trained in this technique now.

          More: LAPD in 2014. But Las Vegas Metro says they came up with the idea. Whoever it was it’s just another ring under the circus tent.

          – Were the Westwood Mall / Mumbai attacks what one would call a siege?

          I believe you mean the Westgate Mall in Kenya. I believe that was considered a siege, as Jihadists holed up in the mall with their victims, making it more difficult for law enforcement and military to safely respond. Mumbai was a mixed bag–the hotel and Jewish center were sieges, whereas the attack on the train station, I believe, was more of an assault where the assailants left right after the attack.

          More: A siege is when an army surrounds a city and locks everybody in tight, usually until the city surrenders. That was not the case in Mumbai or Nairobi. The fact that a city may be swarmed for a time with terrorists running around killing some people and scaring others – and thereby some public service capabilities are briefly slowed or halted – does not mean the citizens are locked inside the city as in a classical siege. There are ways to flee the city, danger can be avoided and just because the city can’t pump water into somebody’s toilet because the public works guy is scared to go and turn the handle in the city pump-house, that doesn’t mean terrorists have shut down the city. Further, using the term “siege” to describe a terrorist attack tends to give the impression that the proper response to a siege is to negotiate with those surrounding you, to just wait and the attacks will calm down or run out of bullets and then disappear into the suburbs and then the city can begin to “heal”. This mindset precludes or at least slows the proper response which is to attack the terrorists like the Spetsnaz at Beslan.

          – What were the most common errors committed by responding police at Binghamton, Orlando, and San Bernardino?
          I don’t know about Binghamton, but I believe at both Orlando and San Bernardino it was that responders spent a lot of time setting up a perimeter and waiting for the Swat Teams to show up–I believe this is part of what MACTAC training for ordinary police departments is meant to address. I know I have some real gaps in my knowledge here–if you decide to come back and answer your own questions, I’m sure we would benefit from it.

          More: Cops at Binghamton were not permitted to go in to the building where the killing was taking place for some 40 minutes. According to the chief and city attorney, this wait was to be sure the shooter was dead so cops wouldn’t be in danger when they entered the scene. At San Bernardino the first officer on the scene, Lieutenant Mike Madden was made a hero for his quick response when in cold hard fact he waited outside the IRS for 6 minutes before going in, perhaps closer to 9 minutes based on the 911 tapes. And, Orlando: same thing. Cops waited longer than they should have before taking decisive action. Multiple reasons why they hesitate but all have as their core a lack of courage and resolve.

          As to your last question; yes, the US military is beginning to explore swarming tactics. Police departments will continue to pretend they have their shit together and everything will be okay when terrorists attack and the pretense is because most police “leaders” are not leaders. Most people in charge of police forces are managers. They want everyone to get along and don’t understand that some people will never behave and so need to be fired, have their asses kicked, or be shot to death… depending on the context of the offense, of course.

    And some more…

    – Of all the incidents at which IC/UC have been used in the last, let’s say 5 years; what is the most common negative finding in the AARs following those incidents?

    I know that AARs are “After Action Reviews”, by which military and police review the actions taken in an engagement, and what went right and what went wrong.

    I don’t know what the most common negative findings are.

    More: The most common finding is that Incident Command/Unified Command doesn’t work in police tactical operations… but leaders continue to force all operations to be carried out by that framework.

    – What was the most significant occurrence on Day Three at Beslan?

    I know this was when Russian politicians affirmed they were willing to negotiate with the Jihadists–the assault on the school began right after this agreement was made. I have never had a clear sense as to whether these negotiations would have worked at all, or if the Jihadists used this as an excuse to begin killing in earnest. Certainly, it seems the response assault was not well-organized or well thought out.

    More: The most significant event is when the Russian Spetsnaz – many of them without helmets, soft-body armor, ballistic shields or other fancy gear demanded by US law enforcement as part of their “officer safety first” mantra – jumped in trucks and raced to Beslan from where they were rehearsing their attack on the school some 18 miles away. When they arrived, they didn’t wait for “leadership” to check their gear or order them to this or that area for this or that purpose. Nope, the Spetsnaz ran into the school with their weapons and started hunting and killing terrorists. Some hostages were killed, certainly. But Spetsnaz jumped onto grenades to protect children, stood up in front of terrorists and willingly took massive bursts of small arms fire in their bodies in order to keep that fire off of innocents. That is the most significant thing that happened because it has the potential to set the standard as the proper response protocol to these types of attacks.

    – If you knew you were going to be caught in a building with an AS, would you want cops responding in typical ASR or MACTAC?

    I know MACTAC is “Multi-Assault Counter-Terrorism Action Capabilities”. I know this latter takes into account possible follow-up or multiple attacks, as at Mumbai and Paris–so don’t throw all of your resources at a first attack. From what little I know, the latter approach seems more sophisticated.

    More: Yes, MACTAC on paper is more sophisticated. On the street, there is little difference between it and standard ASR. They all still wait to form teams, move down the halls slowly to locate shooters but will stop to help the wounded along the way, won’t shoot even in the general direction of a bad-guy if an innocent is in the area. MACTAC is just another cool acronym everybody wants to have on their resume’ now, that’s all.

    – What are the pros and cons of typical ASR and MACTAC?

    If it really is a single attack, traditional ASR might be better–but you cannot know if this is the case until after the fact–if this is just a first or even decoy attack, then the latter.

    More: There are no pros or cons when comparing the two response forms to each other. They are the same thing but one has the newer, cooler name.

      Thanks, Undaunted. I will keep this for my records. I was not aware that ASR and MACTAC were so similar–but it does not surprise me that even law enforcement is sometimes attracted by shiny new acronyms.

      Thanks especially for the information about Beslan, the details of which I did not know. The horror of Beslan would probably have been even worse without their brave actions.

        Yes. They were very brave.

    I don’t understand why there is any discussion on whether his sentence was appropriate or not, it is clearly a cut and dry life sentence until he leaves in a pine box.
