Ahmad Rahimi sowed terror across two states, setting off bombs in Manhattan and on the Jersey Shore. This devout Muslim deserves a death sentence but he knows Western liberals grovel before the Islamic world, awarding it special status to oppress, subjugate and slaughter in the cause of Allah. Don’t be surprised if, in a few short years, Ahmad Rahimi lands a job working as a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.
Accused NYC Bomber’s Defense Wants Lighter Sentence Because He Was Shot
By Katie Zavadski, Daily Beast, May 8, 2017:
Story continues below advertisementDefense attorneys for accused Manhattan bomber Ahmad Rahimi have asked prosecutors to consider his “mental and physical health” as part of negotiations for a plea agreement.
In recent filings in federal court, defense attorneys cited Rahimi’s condition from being shot 11 times in September 2016, and his brain injuries, limited longevity, “and/or post-traumatic stress disorder.”
These first revelations about Rahimi’s plea negotiations come after prosecutors asked Judge Richard Berman to rule on Rahimi’s competency as the case proceeds towards trial. The judge denied the motion from prosecutors on Monday, after Rahimi’s lawyers derided that move as an inappropriate judicial involvement in plea negotiations.
Defense attorneys said in their filings they never suggested that they were headed toward a competency examination for Rahimi, and merely asked the government to consider those factors in private plea discussions. The prosecution’s motion “runs afoul of [a] prohibition on judicial involvement in plea discussions,” the defenders wrote.
The government filed the sealed motion on April 24 asking for Berman to intervene, days after defense attorneys clarified that they were not challenging Rahimi’s competency. Defense attorneys submitted emails showing the context of the exchange was about plea negotiations, and that they “don’t expect” to challenge his competency for trial at this time.
This exchange is a first glance at plea negotiations for Rahimi, in a case marked by a contentious relationship between prosecutors and his defense attorneys. In notable disagreements, prosecutors pushed for an early trial date for Rahimi, barely a year after the alleged crimes, while defense attorneys requested a change of venue because of the notoriety of the case in New York City.
Judge Berman denied the defense’s motion to move the trial to Vermont or Washington, D.C. on Monday, saying that New York’s Southern District has a vast and diverse pool of potential jurors to choose from, leaving little doubt in his mind that they’d be able to find 18 individuals willing to give Rahimi a fair shot. (A New Jersey state court recently denied a similar motion on attempted murder of a police officer charges that Rahimi faces there.)

there are cultural differences, we can’t deny that. anyway there are now 4 MILLIONS muslims in USA. Islam belongs in USA now
Not for long. 4/300 =1.25 %. Work on your math, I know it’s hard.
Next time shoot him properly. Let him out, it won’t be long before the is a moving target.
That was my first thought when I read it was because he was shot – – -that it was too bad they didn’t finish the job. Still can’t figure out how these mudslimes can always make and get what they demand. Doesn’t work for me….does it work for you?
Agree. Anything less than death sentence will mean he will remain a threat.
And we have Left/Liberal Pro-jihadi media that bans any real news , truth about Islamic jihad.
And besides facebook, twitter even Google has joined the Islamofascist gang to suppress facts, truths, real news http://tinyurl.com/lgp28rs

there are 4 MILLIONS muslims in USA, there are cultural differences, we can’t deny that. it’s necessary integration and coexistance. 4 MILLION muslims in USA, they will be the future workers, taxi drivers, judges, mayors, senators, …. rulers. Islam belongs in USA now
They will be future freeloaders, jihadis and sharia enablers and jihadi supporters and non-muslim killers
That’s a great argument to take to the leftards..”Islam is bad for the indigenous ecology”
They will assimilate by foreswearing Islam. It is the only way for a Muslim to assimilate in the non-barbarous Western world. Period.
against the constitution to have them here
I thought getting looped on drugs was a raghead no-no.
Shisha cafes are everywhere in the Middle East.
(To say nothing of what is smoked at private parties.)
In CA, there are numerous brain dead liberals who drive around with bumper stickers on their cars that have all the world’s religious symbols shaped to spell “COEXIST.” Makes you want to f’n puke all over those stickers.
What a defeatist attitude Islam does not belong in civilized country’s
Moslems, due to religious beliefs, can not and will not assimilate into US culture. Their cultural and eithical values are incompatible with ours and therefore they should never be allowed to function within our institutions of government. We require our public servants to swear allegiance to our country and our constitutional form of government. Since Moslems do not agree with our cultural values and they cannot swear allegiance to our country and be loyal to our laws and government (or any other form of government that is not Islamic.) They should never be allowed to serve as officials in our government.
Perchance is your first name Mohammed?
There are too many progressive stupid multiculturalists what will grovel to anything foreign and exotic. The mysterious world of ali bullshitt and islamic thieves fascinates addle minded liberals.
What you say has got to be understood by progressive do gooders who think that everyone sees everyone else as equal and valuable. muslims only see targets and prey when they look at non muslims.
Always keep shooting until they can’t move anymore. they might be wired with a vest!
Bullets are cheap, muslims are worth them.
Why do they have a vest on him.
To prevent an assassination by an outraged citizen. They did the same with other high-profile defendants like Timothy McVeigh.
If, in a hundred years or more, historians seek to enumerate the reasons why our civilization was destroyed, the circumstances of Ahmad Rahimi’s legal proceedings will be exhibit A.
Where was the legally armed citizen who could have fixed things where the only court appearance involving his jackwad was the division of his estate due to his well-deserved demise? I notice some cops need to be taken to the range for a little firearms requalifying session as well.
11 bullet wounds and still the ahole wasn’t killed? The cops need to do A LOT of target practise
Yeah, but then cockroaches are hard to kill
Perhaps “demonization” is coming into play because he fits the definition of a “demon”: according to the dictionary, a demon is “an evil spirit or a person or thing who is evil”. Can’t argue with that.
What is astonishing is the case for his defence being made by his lawyers. They really are despicable beings with no conscience or moral compass. We are supposed to pity his “mental and physical health” and his “post-traumatic stress disorder” – this for some hate-filled, evil barbarian who spent every waking thought planning to kill, maim and destroy the lives of innocent people. If he had succeeded, how much concern would there have been for the mental and physical health of his victims and their families and friends?
he is a lawyer too?
That is the ACLU for you.
bill deblastio is the correct spelling
plea bargain? WTF?
You jump into the lion’s den, don’t be surprised if they want to rip you to shreds……
She proved OUR point.
Torture is not worthy. A death sentence duly carried out is the proper result.
Wait a second, in his country he would never be able to demand anything if caught in a crime they would either, cut of finger, hands, foot, arm or head. Or else toss him off a roof, burn him, hang him, crucify him, remove his eyes or a battery of other dark ages punishments. Yet he comes here and feels he can demand…….guess that may work depending how liberal the judge and prosecutor are. In his country it would be street justice and sentencing carried out immediately.by a angry crowd.
This would be a great time to put the Italian mafia on the gov payroll. They were quite adept at making people vanish from the 30’s to the 90’s. Perhaps they could do the same for Ahmad Rahimi, by making him into cat food…….
The people at GWU were not smart to have hired this guy
I’m surprised the muslum’s defense team didn’t demand the trial be moved to Dearbornistan, Michigan.
Now come on. He won’t end up as “a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.” He’ll be “Department Chair” at GWU’s Program on Extremism. And who but a disciple of the devil can take 11 shots and come out of it to pollute the world another day.
Fry the mother fer
One hears a lot of this crap out of muslims, in any given situation… Muslim ” Demands ” this or that…
Screw them, and the camels they rode over on… they have no rights to what we GIVE them, much less the ability to demand anything…
WTH is the matter with this country anyway…. THROW the baggage OUT !!!
Actually, moving the trial to Vermont might not be a bad idea. Vermont has no gun laws and the people who’d actually show up for jury duty are are from the Calvin Coolidge model of what the state once was.
I doubt they’d look kindly on this schmuck.
Terrorist attacks are not the kinds of crimes that our legal system was created to handle. A new set of laws, procedures and punishments needs to be developed just for terrorist killings motivated by religious beliefs.
If we know absolutely for sure that they committed the crime and the suspect admits guilt, The punishment should be a benign death to be administered after investigators are finished with their investigation. If the suspect cooperates with investigators, the investigators can recommend who initiates the execution and that the body be given to the family for burial.
If the suspect denies his guilt, there should be a rule that if a trail is forced and there is a finding of guilt by a jury, a more immediate and less benign death sentence should be given. Since the motivation of the crime is religious in nature, the execution and disposition of the body should follow a procedure that does not give the convict any hope that they will receive any reward in the after life that was promised to them for committing their crime.
Good points.
how stupid us gov. can be… use Sharia law on All Muslims…. dont waist time and money on trash people..
If I had my way, he would swinging with a rope around his neck.
I would give the MFer a light sentence, a rope stretching his chicken neck and then feed the body to a bunch of hogs!
supposed to double tap…
At the extreme of his argument, Rahimi is correct: If the police had shot to kill him, then there would have been NO sentence.
Standing by for Rahimi to raise his hand for this extreme….
