“This is a young guy who was immature and said some stupid things.”
Of course. Come on, you greasy Islamophobe, fess up. How many times have you boasted to an undercover agent about your plans to commit mass murder on a grand scale? It happens all the time. Only a hate-filled bigot would think there was anything amiss here, right?
“Bay Area Man Pleads Guilty to Aiding Terrorists,” by Nicholas Iovino, Courthouse News Service, July 18, 2018 (thanks to Patrick):
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – A 23-year-old man who bragged about plotting terror attacks in the Bay Area pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges Wednesday.
In conversations with undercover FBI agents, Oakland resident Amer Sinan Alhaggagi boasted of plans to bomb gay nightclubs, set fire to hills near Berkeley, give homeless people backpacks full of explosives, and distribute rat poison-laced cocaine.
But his lawyer said those were merely the words of a naive young man who never intended to follow through.
“This is a young guy who was immature and said some stupid things,” attorney Mary McNamara told reporters outside the federal courthouse after her client entered his guilty plea.
Alhaggagi pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and three identity theft charges.
Dozens of friends and members of Oakland’s Yemeni community attended the court hearing Wednesday. Alhaggagi, a U.S. native whose parents immigrated from Yemen, appeared in a red Alameda County Jail jumpsuit sporting a thin goatee and dark hair down to his biceps. He answered the judge’s questions respectfully and in a soft-spoken manner.
One family friend, Abdul Mohammed, of Oakland, said he doesn’t believe Alhaggagi was ever serious about causing harm to others and that the government “just wanted to make an example” of him.
Alhaggagi ‘s lawyer argued that her client deserves a lighter sentence because the only actions he took involved opening a few social media accounts for an ISIS sympathizer.
Federal prosecutor S. Waqar Hasib said Alhaggagi was communicating with a “full-fledged member” of ISIS, not a mere sympathizer….

Cute poem.
What would you do if you saw a terrorist of any stripe handing off to a hobo what you reasonably believed to be a bomb-laden backpack and then pointing said hobo toward the food-court where you and your family are enjoying swell Asian food? The terrorist/handler remains in sight down the hall and begins to tap numbers into his cell phone as the hapless mule trudges toward you and dozens of others … and both he and the handler are between you and any exit.
Anyone? Does anyone know what to do?
Yeah, cute poem.
Undaunted says
And, no, the cops aren’t going to save your ass on this one.
Anyone?
Kay says
Do tell please.
Undaunted says
Get the book.
Undaunted says
Okay, here’s an option among others in my book: take your Walther PPQ M2 9mm with 5″ barrel and put a Hornady Critical Duty bullet through the cranium of the handler.
You do have these important items, right?

“Immature”, huh? I know a lot of immature young people, and none of them are plotting to mass murder innocent people.
I have not seen any coverage of this case–this is the first I have heard of it–and it is in my own city, and I follow the news closely.
Micheal says
Im in Bay Area too and have not heard anything. Better be sure if guy was wearing maga hat it would be 247.
Why do these scum want to live on infidel soil. They abandon their holy land shit hole.

I finally found a few stories, Michael:
“West Oakland man pleads guilty to supporting ISIS”

“Inside ISIS sympathizer’s plot to bomb San Francisco gay bars”
https://www.queerty.com/inside-isis-sympathizers-plot-bomb-san-francisco-gay-bars-20170726
The Channel 7 story–which I have not seen, and so means there was not much coverage–was the only mainstream story I can find.
Indiana Tom says
give homeless people backpacks full of explosives,
Sort of reminds me of Russians using explosive laden dogs to blow up German tanks.
The Japanese would rig Okinawans with explosives and have then run to American marines and soldiers.
LR says
Yep. Most immature, bored people usually contact an ISIS operative when looking for something to do.
Thank God they caught this ‘stupid’, ‘immature’ young man, before he did something ‘silly’.
