Times Square car bomb suspect pleads guilty

NEW YORK — Calling himself a "Muslim soldier," a defiant Pakistan-born U.S. citizen pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out the failed Times Square car bombing, saying his attack was the answer to "the U.S. terrorizing ... Muslim people."

Wearing a white skull cap, Faisal Shahzad entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan just days after a federal grand jury indicted him on 10 terrorism and weapons counts, some of which carried mandatory life prison sentences. He pleaded guilty to them all.

"One has to understand where I'm coming from," Shahzad calmly told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, who challenged him repeatedly with questions such as whether he worried about killing children in Times Square. "I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier."

The 30-year-old described his effort to set off a bomb in an SUV he parked in Times Square on May 1, saying he chose the warm Saturday night because it would be crowded with people who he could injure or kill.

...who, if she'd had any sense, would have recused herself from the bench and passed the case on to the next judge in the queue.

We have a Muslim felon/terrorist in the dock and a judge with a triple-Jewish name. No matter how straight-arrow she is, when the case comes up for appeal - and that is practically guaranteed - the defense is going to try to get her decision thrown out in grounds of prejudice.

This whole trial is going to be a waste of time.
Decapitate the SOB, then nail the headless body to a cross. :thumbup1:

If he can be a Muslim soldier, I can be Christian Crusader. Fuck 'em.

Wearing a white skull cap,
hmmmmm every court i have ever been in you had to remove your hat WTF makes this guy special?????

"

Hmmm well if he is a soldier then let our military justace system take care of this. IMOO if he is a soldier then this is a military attack on the US. WHY is the domestic courts dealing with him ??????? two can paly this game.
He said the attacks would continue until we left muslim lands. She should have said OK--if we leave will all the muslims leave OUR lands? We WILL end up hunting these dogs down in our country-there will be NO sharia law!
I must admit I chuckled to myself when I read his so-called confession.


Soldier = person who enforces the political will of a country by killing the other countries' soldiers until he is dead or their will is imposed.

Douchebag = person who tries to bomb unsuspecting civilians and then attempts to flee the country


I know I'm preaching to the choir but these people go on justifying their actions by blaming things on God are not soldiers. "Oh its OK because God would want me to kill other people" is a lame excuse to justify their rash behavior.

Would that be like fat boarding instead of water boarding?

All that's left is for Erik Holder to scurry him out of the country with a presidential pardon in hand....

what appeal? what trial?

he pled guilty.
There has to be a trial whether you plead guilty or innocent. Then he'll be sentenced. The sentence can be appealed.

the sentence may be appealed but i'm not sure about the full trial thing. under a civil suit the guilty plea wouldn't matter but under common law the plea effectively ends any trial proceedings. i believe this is Federal.

Times Square bomber pleads guilty - Yahoo! News

Reuters said:
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said that there was no plea agreement between the government and Shahzad and that the investigation is continuing. Shahzad is due to be sentenced on October 5.
sentencing that quick says to me "no trial". you know how s-l-o-w our legal system works. a trial would take years.

yeah, they'll investigate their assess off but that's another thing. they must earn their exorbitant pay somehow.
Bring that fat to a full boil and throw him in. Make some pork rinds.
Put in his car and set the bomb off, but this time make sure it goes off
