Note the soft-pedaling language of this piece. He "struck" the people while he "drove a vehicle on campus"...

Note the reality. He took his jeep off the road and drove it at high speed through a popular pedestrian plaza with the intent of killing as many people as possible.

“Please release me so that I can continue to wage Jihad against you stupid Infidels!”

[The Blitherer]

As this was a case of SJS, I expect the courts to release him immediately.

[AmericaUnited]

How freaking lame! He needs to hire a speech writer.

[theDentist]

Thanks for the apology... but apologies aren’t enough for CRIMINAL behavior. Into the slam, buddy-boy.

[jebeier]

Note how the article implies that Mohammed Taheri-azar actually said these things, when in fact it is quoting extensively from a letter written to the judge.

Anybody who thinks Mohammed Taheri-azar actually wrote that letter might be interested in buying a time-share of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Are you trying to discredit this man’s apology? Come on, where’s your compassion? /sarc

[Roccus]

Lock him up in a ‘snake pit’ and throw away the key.

[SIDENET]

I sincerely regret what I did on that day. Please release me from state custody so that I may pursue my goal of living a productive life in California.

Well, he said he was sorry. What more do you people want?

[Old Grumpy]

“Please release me from state custody”

He needs to be released all right . . . from being alive.

[windcliff]

California is full. Stay in North Carolina.

[conserv8ive1]

I only have 1 question:

Was he charged with a hate crime?

[TexasCajun]

Please release me from state custody so that I may pursue my goal of living a productive life in California trying to kill more infidels."

Not only that, I'M QUESTIONING HIS PATRIOTISM!!!

[El Gran Salseron]

Oh? He apologized to the judge? OK, that makes it all better. Release him immediately. /sarc

“I promise you that I will never again in my life display such poor, ignorant behavior.”

And guess what Jerry Jihadi? We have a way of insuring just that. We call it PRISON.

his client "has a severe mental illness."

If any of the victims were white Christians, then it’ can’t possibly be a hate crime.
