San Francisco - In defending 23-year-old Amer Alhaggagi, his lawyer called him "a class clown" - "a prankster who did not know when he was crossing the line." But federal prosecutors consider him an ISIS supporter, caught before he could activate his plot to kill 10,000 San Francisco-area residents by planting bombs, blowing up a gay bar, setting fires and distributing poisoned cocaine in night clubs.
Defense attorney Mary McNamera's argued in federal court Tuesday that Alhaggagi is an "all-American boy" who was "playing a game." His argument did not prevail. Judge Charles Breyer sentenced Alhaggagi to more than 15 years in prison, saying "words matter."
"The most disturbing thing in Alhaggagi is the lack of empathy for others," Breyer said. "That is chilling."
He was sentenced for charges of identity theft and trying to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
"Alhaggagi wanted to carry out deadly terrorist attacks in the United States in the name of ISIS," Assistant Attorney General for National Security, John Demers, said in a news release Tuesday.
Surveillance video recorded over two years by undercover agents captured Alhaggagi's boasts, including claims of connections to Mexico's drug cartel and access to AK-47s. On the social media site Telegram, where the California-born man of Yemeni descent was repeatedly kicked out for violating the terms of service, he pitted Sunni Muslims against Shia. He also teased Wiccans, who practice a contemporary form of paganism, saying their "prayers provoked Hurricanes in Florida."

Awww. Was he crying?
Lesson of the day: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
He also teased Wiccans...
Give him 2 weeks off his sentence for that.
I need to read this one in detail. He sounds kind of dopey and maybe weak minded.
Still gotta do the time.
Some weak people feel like they need a cause, a reason to be.
Volunteer at the local nursing home!!

Planning to blow up a gay bar was his only truly unforgivable "mistake". If it had been churches, he'd have been released and given some walking-around money.
This will get far less ink than the man who plotted to wipe out nearly everyone on the planet with a fanciful flu.
...she wants sympathy...she should be hung, but that would be more US tax dollars than already spent on this nit. Leave her where she is...she has made her bed!
Meet the new “all American boy.”
Get a load of this family standing in the hall....darkness walks the halls in our nation now...
He bragged......‘I’m going to redefine terror!’....
....Redefining Terror....15 yrs in prison!
He also discussed with the undercover agent his plans to bomb UC Berkeley campus dorms, as well as gay nightclubs. His stated desire was to create such an atmosphere of terror that people would be afraid to come out of their homes. He was recorded saying "it is going to be the biggest attack in American since Pearl Harbor.
Alhaggagi opened email, Twitter, and Facebook accounts for members of ISIS; he also downloaded an ISIS bomb-making manual, took pictures of police stations to bomb, and looked for large Halloween gatherings while also looking for information on how to set fires.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of giving material support to ISIS, but was hoping for a sentence of seven to eight years.
Boo-freakin’ hoo! Stupid comes with a price!
“ caught before he could activate his plot to kill 10,000 San Francisco-area residents”
Why am I suddenly torn in my opinion?

.....”He sounds kind of dopey and maybe weak minded”....
Listen to the undercover video and you’ll think differently....post 12
This guy knew what he wanted to do and bragged about it. His family just wanted him to sound like a nutcase in order to get a lighter sentence.
Material support for ISIS should carry a thousand year incarceration sentence.
He can have an adjoining cell to ISIS bride, Hoda Muthana.
Oh poor Amer, you worthless muzzie bitch! He needs to be placed with the Arian Nation tenants as well.
I would NEVER second guess the TONS of info a jury hears that I don’t, also I said i would have to review entire article before deciding.
My weakness is my hope for some redemption in young folks.
Probably goes back to my pop dying when i was 14 and I got in a little trouble myself.
BUT I NEVER PLANNED ON KILLING 10,000 PEOPLE!!!!
1 or 2, eh, but 10,000!!
JK on the 1 or 2!
#### him then.
In that case, he will come out harder in 15 years or whatever is served and be a more fundamental threat to us.
Seems with 10,000 lives involved, 25 to life would have been better.
But again, i dont know NEARLY enough to shoot my mouth off
but i do anyway :)
Hey that’s what i meant by coming out harder in 15 years in my last post to you :)
he’s not gonna hang around with the white guys.
He’s gonna hang around with hardcore hateful muzzies.
And in 15 years, then what?
He goes on some list?
