New in PJ Media:
After he was admitted to the United States on a diversity visa, jihad terrorist Sayfullo Saipov murdered eight people in New York City on Halloween night in October 2017 by driving a truck along a bike path. In January, Saipov’s attorney, David Patton, emphasized that Saipov, who had declared that he was inspired by the Islamic State (ISIS), was unrepentant: “As we sit here today, he still believes that, he still believes the ISIS messaging and he still believes it was God’s will that he do what he did.” Nonetheless, Saipov is in no hurry to go to paradise and cavort with his 72 virgins. His lawyers are trying to keep this jihad murderer from getting the death penalty, and pressing all the Left’s buttons to make their case. The government just wants the death penalty, they’re claiming, because of (yes, you guessed it) “racism.” Oh, and Donald Trump.
ABC News reported Thursday that Saipov’s lawyers are opposing the death penalty because of “possible ethnic or religious discrimination.” Yeah, sure, that’s it. Prosecutors don’t find Saipov exactly cuddly not because of his cold-blooded murder for Allah of eight unsuspecting people who were just going about their daily business when Saipov plowed into them, but because he is “brown.” This line of argumentation couldn’t possibly be more absurd, but the world is so crazy these days, it just might work.
Saipov’s defense team “questioned why the government was pursuing the death penalty when the Biden administration has imposed a moratorium on federal executions and declined to authorize the death penalty in deadlier attacks, notably the hate crime at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart that killed 23 people in 2019.” Patton stated that “given the recent decision to accept Patrick Crusius’s guilty plea to life imprisonment despite his unrepentant and premeditated hate killing of 23 Latinos at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas — Crusius being a white, U.S.-born citizen — the Court should have significant concern that a driving force behind the death notice in this case is Mr. Saipov’s religion and national origin, in violation of the Fifth and Eighth Amendments.” Of course! What else could this possibly be but racism?
Like Crusius, Saipov “is willing to plead guilty, waive all appeals and consent to lifetime imprisonment under strict conditions that will all but eliminate his third-party communications for the foreseeable future.” Such a deal. And the defense team sweetened it even further by placing the blame squarely upon the focus of all evil in the modern world, one Donald J. Trump: “The defense pointed out then-President Donald Trump’s public calls for Saipov’s execution and his use of the truck attack to rail against so-called ‘chain migration’ and the diversity visa lottery system.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

And mozlums make the claim that they “love death,”….that’s a laugh, seeing as so many who are caught after they commit murder, many times in mass murderous attacks, never want to meet the death they claim to love.
Inmates in prisons often escape or are released, even from life sentences. (Prisons get overcrowded, don’t we all know) this creep, unrepentant for his crimes of terror and murder, might just find himself back on the streets one day if he and his lawyers get their wish.
biden, lover of wrongdoing and mozlums, wants him to have that opportunity.

Has his Paterson, New Jersey, mosque ever been investigated? BTW- Has the Al-Qaeda courier, Majid Khan, who was recently released from Guantanamo Bay, able to find suitable accommodations in his newly adopted country of Belize? I lose sleep worrying about the poor dear (as I’m sure many of the family members of the 9/11 victims). Gone are the days when traitors would be put up against a wall and shot.

This creepy, demonic sub-human deserves the death penalty and should not live more than a few weeks after getting that sentence. How come Muslims do not get
engaged in a chat about “God (or some power smarter than humans) created all
people with free will to choose what they want to do and be subject to the laws of
the place they choose to live.” The dopes
in the US Congress should write this statement into law and insist that incoming immigrants memorize these words. In my opinion (and I am not a lawyer) this is protecting innocent people and informing the newcomers. Saipov deserves the death penalty because he wasn’t defending
himself against attack; his claim was to defend Sharia law. ?

Linde B -don’t you know “Everything is Donald Trump’s fault”
Linde B. says
To dazzleme- You are right of course, dazzleme, but there is an upside to Donald Trump being blamed for everything: the famous American writer Elbert Hubbard said “Every knock is a boost.” And I agree with that statement especially where Donald Trump is concerned. ?❤️

In clear cases like this I would insist on the DP. I do not see why the tax payers shouold support a multiple murderer for the best part of his life. costing many thousands of dollars. It is also not unknown for murderers after release from their imprisonment go and murder again.
dazzleme says
They get out in 24 hours to only murder again and again thanks to our democrat government! It also looks like from the past two elections that we will never have a fair election again!
OLD GUY says
Sadly even if he gets the death penalty it will be tens of years before he meets the executioner if ever. Our legal system is designed by lawyers who profit from drawing out these appeals for 30 years or more. The tax payer most likely paid for his defense legal team, We pay for the court system, we pay for the prosecution legal team, we pay for his room, food, medical. These case should be over done and carried out within 3 years.
Linde B. says
You are so right, OLD GUY.
Too bad you aren’t a judge.
