Man gets 28 years in plot to behead conservative blogger
2017-12-20
[Ynet] A Massachusetts man convicted of conspiring to behead a conservative blogger on behalf of 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....
group has been sentenced to 28 years in prison.

David Wright
....who is also named as David Daoud Wright. At the time of his arrest he weighed 500 lb and lived with his mother, possibly in the basement...
was convicted in October of plotting with his uncle
...that would be Osamaah Abdullah Rahim or Usaama Rahim, beloved brother of a Saudi-trained imam and object after his death (at the hands of the nice policeman he was trying to knife) of a Black Lives Matter protest and halal BBQ in Ferguson, MO. He was all of two years older than his nephew, and clearly just as useless...
and a Rhode Island man
...another idiot by the name of Nicholas Rovinski, who took as his conversion name Nuh Amriki. His mild cerebral palsy was absolutely no excuse for continuing to recruit for ISIS while in jail awaiting trial...
to kill New York resident Pamela Geller, who upset Moslems when she organized a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas. The beheading plot was never carried out.

Prosecutors say Wright also wanted to commit other attacks in the U.S. and encouraged his uncle to kill coppers.

Wright insists he was living in a fantasy world and never really supported the Islamic State group. The 28-year-old's attorneys had asked for a 16-year sentence.

Prosecutors and Geller wanted Wright to get life in prison.
It should be noted that Islamic State recruiter Junaid Hussain communicated instructions about the plot to kill Geller directly to Rahim from overseas in May 2015. Hussain was killed in a US drone strike in Syria in August 2015.

It's not the solution for every problem, but...... Varoom, varoom, clank, clank, clank.

#1  500 lbs should provide a rather large centre of mass.
