Man who bought guns used in 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack gets 20 years

2020-10-25

The Mills of Justice grinding slowly again.

[BizPakReview] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for conspiring to commit terror attacks and for providing assault rifles used in the 2015 San Bernardino, California, terrorist attack where 14 people died, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Enrique Marquez Jr.,

...childhood buddy and jihad plotting pal of Syed Rizwan Farook, and proud sham husband of Farook’s brother’s Russian wife’s sister ...

28, pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support and other resources to gunnies in 2017, according to the Department of Justice. As part of his plea agreement, Marquez also admitted to conspiring with Syed Rizwan Farook

...he was born in America but his soul remained Pakistani, and the bright, bomb-making girl of his dreams had pledged herself to ISIS. He was 2nd Gen, though: his mom divorced his dad for not being pious enough, and was a member in her own right of the notoriously jihadi-linked Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA is a subsidiary of Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami, yet another tentacle of Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I’s virtual neo-Ottoman empire...

to attack commuter traffic on the 91 Freeway and the Riverside Community College campus in 2011 and 2012.

Marquez pleaded guilty to making false statements in connection to purchasing two assault rifles that were used in the San Bernardino attack on Dec. 2, 2015, according to the Justice Department. Farook and his wife used the two assault rifles Marquez "straw" bought for them to attack the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center three years after the purchase, the Justice Department said.

Marquez said Farook paid for the firearms and that they also discussed using radio-controlled improvised bombs, or IEDs, according to the Justice Department. Marquez said he purchased a container of smokeless powder and Christmas tree lightbulbs to make the IEDs.

Prosecutors claimed that Marquez "was a full, willing, and motivated participant of the conspiracy who not only provided the agreement necessary for the conspiracy to attack RCC and SR-91, but also co-designed the attacks with Farook," in a memorandum filed last week, according to the Justice Department.

Marquez "purchased the two firearms and ammunition to facilitate the attacks, researched bomb making and obtained explosive powder and other bomb-making materials, and visited RCC and SR-91 to sketch out how he and Farook would attack the two locations to maximize casualties," according to the memorandum.

U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal denied Marquez’s request that he be sentenced to five years, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors said the request was an effort to "downplay the seriousness of his actions, and skirt that his actions contributed to the mass killing and injuring of innocent people in San Bernardino just a few years later."

Marquez was arrested and has remained in jug since his initial court appearance on Dec. 17, 2015, according to the DOJ.

Many feel he should have been charged with 1st degree murder and hung.

I sure do.
