The man who supplied assault rifles to the terrorists who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., in 2015 was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison on Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced.
Enrique Marqez Jr., 28, pleaded guilty in 2017 to conspiracy to provide material support and resources to terrorists, and one count of making false statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms.
“This defendant was an active member of a conspiracy that planned to inflict death and destruction on innocent people,” First Assistant United States Attorney Tracy Wilkison said in a statement. “By his own admissions, this defendant collaborated with and purchased weapons for a man he definitively knew held radical and anti-American beliefs — and who wanted to kill innocent people.”
In 2011 and 2012, Marquez purchased two rifles that Syed Farrok and his wife Tashfeen Malik used in their attack on the Inland Regional Center (IRC), according to the plea agreement. Farook paid Marquez for the rifles, and the two discussed using radio-controlled bombs during planned attacks on Riverside City College and State Route 91.
Marquez also admitted to purchasing Christmas tree light bulbs and a container of smokeless powder for use in bomb manufacturing. He was arrested two weeks after the Dec. 2, 2015 IRC attack, prosecutors said, and has remained in custody since his first court appearance.

That should be 20 * 14 years.
Remained in custody? What villains!
Weren’t they aware he could have died of COVID? They should have let him out with a court date. Joe would assure us Marquez would show up on time.
This terrorist needs to spend the rest of his life breaking rocks at Gitmo.
‘“This defendant was an active member of a conspiracy that planned to inflict death and destruction on innocent people,” First Assistant United States Attorney Tracy Wilkison said’
And he got 20 years in prison at taxpayer expense instead of “laughing” gas aka cyanide also at tax payer expense.
SPJNK.
Christmas tree light bulbs and a container of smokeless powder for use in bomb manufacturing.
= = =
I just lost my Christmas tree light bulbs and smokeless powder in a boating accident.
Meanwhile the victim’s families are sentenced to a lifetime of grief.
Don’t waste US Taxpayers’ moneys.
SPJNK — NOW!
Funny how the rats have no problem killing babies but murderers need life sentences because we cannot as a civilized nation have a death penalty, FOR MURDERERS!!!!!! WE NEED AN EXPRESS LINE TO THE CHAIR, NO MORE LETHAL INJECTION, its to humaine
Trump should have been making the case that during his presidency there have been few if any Islamic terrorist incidents while during 0bam/Biden there were numerous terrorist attacks.
Trump should also be pointing out that he is the first president in decades to not get us involved in wars.

Bring back the firing squad.
What do lightbulbs have to do with explosives? Or are just mad because he was celebrating Christmas early? I mean if the said an etch a sketch I could understand
IF I were to speculate,
Break a bulb, but not the filament.
Wire the filament to a battery through some switching device.
Bury the filament in powder.
My name is Tony, I can’t talk anymore.
Eric Holder laughed.
“Rookie”
Light bulbs can be used as an ignition source for the propellent of a bomb.
I think I could come up with a better, untraceable, device as an ingniter.
