Federal Judge’s Bizarre Views of Justice for American ISIS Terrorist

the rest of the title is: and the Bereaved Mother of His Victim

[Reno89519]

An American causing or part of death of Americans on battlefield should be executed.

[hal ogen]

The bleeding heard judge should be disbarred.

[bingoplayer]

The Judge had absolute discretion. The kid killed no one and never joined. This Reagan Judge did his job. He will be totally upheld.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes is compromised.

That can only be corruption behind that judgement. There’s no way in hell it’s anything else.

Unless...

She’s become ideologically compliant and is directly aiding and abetting those at war with us by hasting the return of one of the warriors to the field of battle.

Treason or corruption.

one or the other.

[BatGuano]

Never trust a judge with the name “Lynn.” Is it fish or fowl, man or woman? Don’t trust it.
The sentence is absurd. But the 9th District would have awarded the perp $1,000,000, a new house and four wives, to boot!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Didn’t the charge come from the death of the person who collaborated with the would-be terrorist? This is common for engaging in a crime that causes death to a collaborator. It looks like that aspect was overlooked by the judge in the case. So he doesn’t believe in terrorism now — he still lured another to their ultimate death. This is the matter of consternation here.

[bingoplayer]

Oh horse hockey. Garcia didn’t have to go. What a crock. I convince a kid to go in the marines and he gets killed— my fault? Let’s get off this kick quick. It is a slippery slope.
Judge dis SUPER job!! 5th circuit will uphold him big time!!

[grey_whiskers]

One other possibility is that of infatuation or getting screwed until she can't walk straight by someone sympathetic to the defendant's cause.

[grey_whiskers]

Oh, a male named Lynn.

Huh.

Still don't like the smirk in the photo.

[Bullish]

...expressed a paternal sympathy for the convicted terrorist, and dismissed input from the dead victim’s bereaved mother (present in court) as “only her grief…sad but not cogent.”

Judges only care if it's their loved ones that die. Hell's gonna' be chock full of judges.

[Robert DeLong]

Either you didn't read it, or you missed this:

a returned ISIS recruiter and fighter who caused the battlefield death of at least one American

[Robert DeLong]

He was a fighter and he was the one that killed the American. See my post #14.

[HiTech RedNeck]

anyone can post anything — where is the documentation

[Robert DeLong]

Here is the full sentence from the article:

In Texas, judges of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals are grappling for an answer in a bizarre case in which a federal judge doled out what prosecutors say was a “substantively unreasonable” 18-month sentence for a returned ISIS recruiter and fighter who caused the battlefield death of at least one American. Prosecutors asked for at least 15 years.

[HiTech RedNeck]

OK, it’s your interpretation that the one directly murdered the other. Now dig back to source material to substantiate that, please.

[HiTech RedNeck]

As there is a fallacy well known on FR known as “Trusting the Very Letter Of The News Media Account.”

[Robert DeLong]

I believe you are the one that is doubting the news report, so you prove your point. I trust Townhall. One of the best sources out there for news.
