ISIS sympathizer gets life sentence for Florida beach bomb plot
2017-04-21
[RT] Florida resident Harlem Suarez
...the apparently hapless idiot who is fortunate his ISIS-loving Facebook alter ego, Almlak Benitez, attracted the attention of the FBI before a real ISIS groomer found him and got him to do something vicious...
was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction obtained from undercover federal agents, and for providing material support to 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....
"The offense is such a serious offense that people need to know that you can’t do that," Judge Martinez said in the Key West district court after an hour-long sentencing hearing, imposing the life sentence on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald.

"He was talking the talk. He was walking the walk and was in possession of what he thought was a weapon of mass destruction," added the judge.

Suarez’s lawyer had asked for a more lenient sentence but Judge Martinez agreed with prosecutors that Suarez should get the maximum term.
