Nicholas Teausant, the National Guard reservist who was arrested last year for trying to blow up the Los Angeles subway, pleaded guilty to a federal terrorism charge for trying to join the Islamic State.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the 22-year-old former community college student was charged with trying to give material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.
“This case, like others in communities across the United States and around the world, is an example of how a young person from any place and any background might make the terrible decision to try and become part of a terrorist organization,†Benjamin B. Wagner, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California, said in a written statement.
“Fortunately, the FBI intervened in this case before any harm could be inflicted upon innocent persons.â€
Teausant, a former student at San Joaquin Delta College, faces as many as 15 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. His sentencing is scheduled for March 8.
Teausant was arrested in March 2014 in Washington state. According to federal officials, he planned to cross into Canada and join the Islamic State in Syria, but was apprehended after discussing his intentions with an FBI informant who was posing as a radical Islamist.
The affidavit stated that Teausant told the FBI informant that he and his friends discussed blowing up the Los Angeles subway system on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, a plan that was eventually called off. He also later told the informant and an undercover officer that he intended to join and fight with the “brothers†abroad.

Interesting.. These guys plan an attack, but the FBI prevent it... The San barnardino attacks were not. That would be CAIR and the left directly preventing profiling of people most likely to commit terrorism. The reports of lots of packages sent to the attackers didn’t seem to be noteworthy?
We will be mopping innocent blood until we recognize the problem is Islam kills and rejoices and kills again.
Just out of curiosity, what is his citizenship / immigration status? That of his parents?
Hang him!
Haven’t seen anything about it but I think he is just a convert .
Also need to recognize the enablers of these scum are part of the problem. That is the pols that run cover for them
Or, as the BBC’s James Cook tells it, “Just another day blowing up the subway.”
BTT

We will be mopping up innocent blood until the law enforcement community stops blinding itself, or I should say is blocked from blinding itself by the lawless actions of an out of control administration and government.
