DENVER (AP) - A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman who tried to go to Syria to help Islamic State militants has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Shannon Conley learned her punishment in Denver federal court on Friday as her parents watched.

She wore a black and tan headscarf with her jail uniform.

Conley pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization in September under a deal that requires her to divulge information she may have about other Americans with similar intentions.

FBI agents say Conley wanted to marry a suitor she met online who told her he was fighting with the extremists. She repeatedly told them she wanted to fight alongside him or use her skills as a nurse’s aide to help.

So when does Obama and Hillary don prisoner orange for all the help aide and comfort they gave to terrorists?

The sentence is incomplete without the revocation of her citizenship.

What this bimbo is too dumb to realize is that they probably saved her life by arresting and jailing her. It would have been far more severe punishment to have just let her go...

Why not something like that for John Hanoi Kerry and comrade Hanoi Jane?

By all accounts she was a nice girl and a bright student. Then she got sucked into that death cult.

Going to prison may save her life, although the cult lives there too.

“She repeatedly told them she wanted to fight alongside him or use her skills as a nurse’s aide to help.”

She would ended up as a sex slave. Stupid

The prison sentence is a blessing, especially if she sobers up in the next four years.

“...Conley wanted to marry a suitor she met online who told her he was fighting with the extremists.”

I’ll have to try that line on the next babe I meet. Apparently, it works. I’m-a-French-male-model line is getting old.

Take her halfway to where she wants to go, and then have her exit the plane without landing.

No, she won't.

Feds don't have parole. She can qualify for some good time credit - no more than 54 days per year.

“On Friday, the judge referred to Conley as “a bit of a mess” regarding her mental state. The judge also believed that Conley liked attention. Prosecutors described Conley as being defiant in jail and vitriolic towards her guards. The defense categorized her behavior as being “frustrated” with her situation.

During court proceedings on Friday, it was revealed that Conley wanted to talk about violent jihad while locked up in Denver’s jail.”
