Was his request refused, or would that have been “Islamophobic”?
In any case, despite Saipov’s note containing “Islamic religious references,” this is not about Islam. The NYPD assures us that is the case. And they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they?
“New York attack suspect Sayfullo Saipov charged with terrorism,” by Jamiles Lartey and Ed Pilkington, Guardian, November 1, 2017:
The suspect in Tuesday’s deadly New York City truck attack appears to have been inspired by violent Isis videos depicting beheadings and shootings, according to prosecutors.
Sayfullo Saipov was taken to the New York federal courthouse in a wheelchair, handcuffed and with his feet shackled on Wednesday, shortly after the charges were announced at a press conference.
The 29-year-old was charged with providing material support to a terrorist group and violence and destruction of motor vehicles.
The details of the charges were outlined in criminal complaint filed Wednesday by the US attorney for the southern district court of New York. Prosecutors said in the complaint that Saipov planned the attack for Halloween because he knew more people would be out on the streets. It was the deadliest terrorist act in New York City since 9/11.
Saipov drove a rented Home Depot truck down a bike lane intentionally, killing eight and injuring 12 before crashing into a school bus, exiting and being shot in the stomach by a New York City police department officer. He had planned to continue the attack for several more miles to the Brooklyn Bridge.
According to the complaint, Saipov was inspired by Isis videos he watched on his cellphone and began planning an attack in the US almost a year ago and had rented a truck on 22 October to practice making turns.
Law enforcement recovered two cellphones from the truck used in the attack, including one phone that had approximately 90 videos which appeared to be Isis propaganda, according to the complaint. The videos included footage of fighters shooting someone in the face, beheadings and information on how to make an explosive device.
Saipov was interviewed by law enforcement officials while recovering from the gunshot wound in the hospital, where he asked to display the Isis flag in his room and told officials “he felt good about what he had done”, prosecutors said in the complaint.
Saipov dropped a pellet gun and paintball gun at the scene, prosecutors said. In the truck, he also left behind a note, handwritten in Arabic and English, that included Islamic religious references.
John Miller, deputy New York police commissioner for intelligence, said at an earlier press conference that Saipov “appears to have followed, almost exactly to a T, the instructions that Isis has put out”.
In the past few years, the Islamic State has exhorted followers online to use vehicles, knives or other close-at-hand means of killing people in their home countries. England, France and Germany have all seen deadly vehicle attacks since mid-2016.
A November 2016 issue of the group’s online magazine detailed features that an attack truck or van should have, suggested renting such a vehicle and recommended targeting crowded streets and outdoor gatherings, according to the Site Intelligence Group, a militant-monitoring agency.
The charge sheet makes extensive note of Saipov’s fervent, pledged support for Isis. It said he wanted to attach the Isis flag to the front and back of his rental truck when he launched the attack, but decided against that as it might draw too much attention to him….
Let him wear it, as a diaper.
How about a bacon flag...
How about 2 quick 9mm shots to the cranium?
What are the ods that some liberal judge would order the government to provide the ISIS flag for Saipov to display?
A parachute.
Use pork dressing on his wounds
in a word NO! If/ when allowed I suggest baptising it in pig fat—and doing a version of waterboarding for his entertainment.
He wants to display the isis flag in his hospital room. According to the media he is ALLEGEDLY ISIS.
Alahwahoo Uzbekbar!
Death penalty !
DiBlasio will order it done...
deblasio and bammy should be apologizing to the families of the people murdered by the subhuman savage.
How about over a Pine box ?
Too bad he’s not in a Catholic hospital which requires a cross in every room. Bet he’d go into full ‘Exorcist’ mode!
And there was only one gunman in Las Vegas last month.
how bout an old refrigerator box? Seems like such a waste of pine.
A Star of David flag would be nice. And a continuous loop of the theme from “Porky Pig”.
They could also lock the TV to EWTN ...
