Federal authorities on Friday charged a 26-year-old Modesto man with planning a terror attack on San Francisco’s Pier 39 after an undercover investigation that unfolded in recent weeks.

Everitt Aaron Jameson, a tow-truck driver and discharged Marine, was charged in a criminal complaint filed at the U.S. District Court in Sacramento with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization — in this case the Islamic State. ...... Jameson explained that he also desired to use explosives and described a play in which explosives could ‘tunnel’ or ‘funnel’ people into a location where Jameson could inflict casualties,” McKinney wrote.

Jameson was discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps for fraudulent enlistment after it was discovered he failed to disclose a latent asthma history, the FBI said. In June 2009, while in the

Booted Marine, muslim convert chickens out of terror attack in San Francisco.

Fraudulent enlistment. Not much going for himself.

So, the most appropriate description the SF rag could find of him was ex-marine, not current Muslim jihadist. Truly despicable!

That’s why we have Drudge. He corrects headlines and photos when linking to stories.

Well, they have to mention the real threats to our country: ex-Marines, President Trump, anyone who voted for him, three Tea Partiers holding signs on a street corner. The Religion of Peace is peaceful.

When people go crazy, they pick a familiar model to follow. In the nineteenth century there were all sorts of stories from people claiming to have been picked up by giant air ships. The drawings all looked like the Hindenburg. When somebody wants to kill, they pick a familiar model that allows them to do that. Islam is tailor made for allowing people to do whatever the heck they want to do.

Incidentally, if I got picked up by a bunch of gray aliens and anal-probed, I’d never tell a soul. ‘Cause no matter how you try to explain something that stupid sounding, you’d sound crazy. I’d just sit on an ice pack and make darned sure I had a gun with me for next time. Next time, trust me, I’d have proof!

Give him a stolen handgun and let them have at it. That’s the San Francisco way!

Round up his co-conspirators because you know they exist.

Minimum of 50 years in prison; no parole.

Never earned title of Marine, thus not an ex-Marine. Just a loser flunky, and waste of oxygen.

For a second there, I thought you were talking about Dan Rather......

For them, being a Marine was the despicable part.

I like how the SF Chronicle manages to avoid using the word "Muslim" for nearly the entire article before finally being forced to write it once in sentence buried near the end. Meanwhile, the fact that the guy is a former Marine is trumpeted in the second sentence and the word "Marine" appears three times. Which is more salient here, the fact that this guy is a Muslim or the fact that he used to be a Marine?

Orwell's "1984" wasn't meant to be an instruction manual for today's journalists, but somehow it apparently has been.

Gotta wonder if the "asthma" deal was the real reason or only a way to not get as nasty with him as they could as they applied the boot....
