“His mother, Mariam Barre, begged the judge for leniency.

“Give him another chance,” she said through tears on the witness stand.”

who thought it was a good idea to let this family into my country in the first place?

Sorry, disagree on this.

More entrapment from the publicity hound Comey.

They shouldn’t be creating crimes, only preventing or arresting for existing crimes.

Did he yell “God is Great” or “Allah Akbar”?

The mean the same thing if translated but the connotation is very different

The guy was a bonifide jihadi. He had been in contact with other jihadis for years. His own dad turned him in. He really did want to kill and maim. He really did think he was killing & maiming.
Undercover FBI showed him what the bomb would do and people would be killed & maimed and gave him several outs. The jihadi still wanted to kill & maim.
