| Times Square Fizzle-bomber sentenced to life | |
| 2010-10-05 | |
| Faisal Shazad was sentenced to life in prison today by U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, the mandatory sentence with no possibility of parole. He had previously pled guilty to the charges around building and setting off a VBIED in New York City's Times Square on May 1st. He claimed that the bomb was sanctioned by the Koran-given right of defence. He also told the judge in response to her question that when he swore the oath of allegiance to the U.S. as a newly minted American citizen, the clever lad didn't mean it. "So you took a false oath," was the judge's reply.

| #15 Much of America continues to sleep FBI, DHS, New Orleans police ignore citizen bomb warning Reached by phone, Cheryl Finlay, an administrator in the [NOLA] police superintendent’s office, remembered the call and said she had indeed referred him to another number -- for the Eighth District commander -- the one that never answered, according to Wilkins. “That would be the best I could do,” Finlay said. “I have no way to dispatch anyone to that location. I’m not a dispatcher.” A NOPD public relations official soon came on the line and, after several questions, generally confirmed that Finlay had used standard operating procedure. The retired judge, meanwhile, shudders at the thought of the casualties that could have ensued if the suitcase had really held a bomb. Only an alert citizen's call in Times Square on May 1, after all, averted such a tragedy. Neither the FBI nor DHS immediately responded to a request for comment. |

| #14 We need to build a new maximum security prison east of Silverton, CO. Build it with nice thick walls, but with a tiny window that can be opened electronically from the Warden's office. During good behavior, the window stays closed. Act up, and the window is open slightly. Act up more, and it's wide open. In winter that can let in temps in the low 30's below zero, even during the day. Even in summer the nighttime temp can drop into the 40's. Besides, the air's a tiny bit thin at 11,000 feet above sea level. |

| #12 VARIOUS MSM-NET > FAISAL SHAHZAD quotes rehashed: * "Brace yourselves, because the WAR WITH MUSLIMS HAS JUST BEGUN...[He FAISAL is only the] FIRST DROPLET IN THE BLOOD TO FOLLOW". * "We are Proud Terrorists, WE WILL KEEP ON TERRORIZING YOU". * "The DEFEAT OF THE US IS IMMINENT, + WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE". * OSAMA BIN LADEN is the new "SALADIN OF THE 21ST CENTURY CRUSADE". Among other, IIUC FAISAL SHAHZAD HAS JUST AFFIRMED THAT THE VARIOUS LOCAL, REGIONAL ISLAMIST JIHADS = INSURGENCIES IS IN REALITY OF SCHEMA OF "ISLAMIC/MOHAMEDDAN CONQUEST" THAT IS GLOBAL IN SCOPE, + that ONCE AMERICA GOES DOWN, i.e. IS DEFEATED OR DESTROYED, THE REST OF WORLD + JUDEOCHRISTIANITY, ETAL. NON-ISLAM WILL FOLLOW. "SALADIN" = OSAMA = ISLAM DEFEATED THE MEDIEVAL CRUSADER ARMIES [Western Staees, Religious Power + Mongol China/Empires], HENCE CAN DEFEAT THE WEST + ASIA = DA WORLD??? |

| #11 So we are not at war with Islam. It is too bad, because Islam is at war with us. |

| #10 How's that for a message to your buddies? Such a message would have no effect on Faisal's would-be imitators. It would just stink up Times Square. Faisal's message to the court, however, needs to be conveyed to every American voter. It won't be, however. |

#9 "As Americans, we will not (sic!) and never will be at war with Islam." "..because the war with Muslims has just begun." Immovable Object, meet Irresistible Force! |

| #6 because the war with Muslims has just begun. Clearly it's not only Americans who don't know history, Anguper Hupomosing9418. This particular round of the war with Muslims began on 9/11/2001... or with the first attempt to destroy the Twin Towers... or attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon when Ronald Reagan was president... |

| #5 The NY Times put the following in the "City Room" section to make sure as few people as possible read it. Remaining defiant, and smirking as the sentence was read, he told the court: “Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun.” |

| #4 The admission to a false oath deserves a banner headline all by itself. |

| #2 At another point, he said, "The defeat of the U.S. is imminent." Not if you're the best they've got, dickhead. Hope you enjoyed making your Brave Jihadi speech in court. Hope you memorized it so you can make it to the four concrete walls you'll be staring at for the rest of your life in Florence. |
