Harrisburg, PA man accused of supporting terrorists appears in court
We're going to get a lot of these stories as idiots on the internet get in on the action. As of last night:
[PennLive] A Harrisburg man accused of conspiring and attempting to support the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 of Iraq and the Levant -- commonly known as ISIL -- appeared in federal court in Harrisburg on Thursday afternoon.

Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz, 19, was tossed in the clink
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
 at his home in the 1700 block of Fulton Street Thursday afternoon. His appearance before Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson marked the first court appearance for Aziz, a short man with a beard who couldn't be much more than 5 feet tall.

A soft-spoken man, Aziz, who wore a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and gray sweat pants and sandals, accepted the counsel of assistant federal public defenders, Lori Ulrich and Heidi Freese during the proceeding. Carlson read the charges Aziz is facing to him. Aziz answered the judge in mostly 'yes' and 'no' statements during the hearing that lasted about 15 minutes.

Carslson told Aziz he could face up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000, followed by three years of supervised release, if found guilty of the charges the U.S. Attorney's Office lodged against him.

The U.S. Attorney's Office maintains Aziz attempted to provide material support to ISIL by promoting hateful rhetoric to groups on social media and supporting individuals in their plans to travel overseas to join the foreign terrorist organization.
At least 57 twitter accounts since July, 2014, because Twitter shut down each one pretty quickly.
A search of Aziz's residence produced a tactical style backpack in his closet that contained high-capacity weapons magazines, ammunition, a knife and other survival items, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Aziz is next scheduled to appear in court for a combined preliminary and detention hearing at 3 p.m. on Dec. 23. Carlson said he set the date in hopes of giving counsel for Aziz and the U.S. Attorney's office enough time to fully grasp the complicated nature of the case. Aziz will be held in federal custody at least until the preliminary hearing date.

"(The case) involves an array of complexities for counsel, international in scope," Carlson said. "They should have time to prepare."
PennLive published a series of articles as the story evolved. Here's the round-up, updated as of 10:20 this morning.
