Muslim Gunman Avoided No-Fly List, Then Received Probation After Judge Threw Out Terrorism Carge
The Washington Times ^ | Monday, May 4, 2015 | Valerie Richardson

Elton Simpson, one of the Mohammed art-contest gunmen killed Sunday in Texas, dodged federal efforts to place him on the no-fly list and pin terrorism charges on him earlier this decade, receiving instead probation and a $500 fine.

Simpson was found guilty in 2011 of making a false statement to FBI investigators regarding his plans to travel to Africa, for which he received three years’ probation, a $500 fine and another $100 charge, according to court documents posted online on the website scribd.

The documents show that an FBI informant recorded hundreds of conversations with Simpson in which they discussed his Muslim religion, his interest in jihad and his desire to travel to South Africa and then Somalia. He expressed support for establishing Sharia law and support for Muslims who fight non-Muslims.

Thank you DOJ for another fantastic job.

More prosecutorial discretion?

From the article:

Judge Murguia appears to have accepted some of the defense’s arguments, writing that, “It is true that the Defendant had
expressed sympathy and admiration for individuals who “fight” non-Muslims as well as his belief in the establishment of Shariah law, all over the world including in Somalia. What precisely was meant by “fighting” whenever he discussed it, however, was not clear.”

Just another black man down for the struggle.

Judge Mary Murguia who threw out the terrorist charge and gave him probation is a Clinton and Obama appointee. She’s supposedly on his list for the Supreme Court. Too bad her terrorist buddy didn’t shoot her. F’n liberals.

Both are off the no fly list, but they will still vote for McCain in the primary.

We still do not know where they got their guns or even what ranges they shot at.

The white guy is not white. Graduated from a school in Pakistan I believe. So he is Asia Minor Pakistani. Trying to look white with glasses and beard.

I guess the judge never heard the old adage, “If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, it isn’t a elephant”.

Let me guess, before I read the article;

Democrat appointee, and likely a female.
