The predictable coda to the Lockerbie bomber being turned over is that he’ll get a nice prison retirement plan with full medical and dental. Killing 259 people isn’t enough to merit the death penalty.
A federal magistrate judge ordered the suspect in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, to be held without bond and scheduled hearings to assign a defense lawyer and determine whether he should remain in custody until trial.
Abu Agila Mohammad Masud Kheir Al-Marimi, 71, is charged with making the bomb that destroyed the plane and faces three federal charges of destroying an aircraft or vehicle used in foreign commerce resulting in death. The Justice Department announced Sunday that Masud was in custody.
Resulting in the deaths of 259 people.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of life in prison or the death penalty and a $250,000 fine. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Erik Kenerson said because the death penalty was not available in 1988, the government would not pursue that penalty if Masud is convicted.
That’s a nonsensical argument.
The Warren court claiming that the death penalty was unconstitutional was, in any case, a response to the specific implementation in 1972. It became constitutional again in 1976. The federal death penalty was only formally reinstated in 1988 in the sense of legal codes, but all of this is beside the point since Al-Marimi is not an American citizen, he’s a foreign enemy terrorist.
Ex parte Quirin settled this already. The Bush administration however failed to properly implement it. The constitution vested the authority to “define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations.” That’s what international Islamic terrorism is.
But the Biden administration, which halted the federal death penalty, and is part of a radical faction that worked to destroy the War on Terror and enable Islamic terrorism can hardly be expected to do anything else except perpetuate their treasons.
What about his religion? Don’t we have freedom of religion here? His religion says that what he did was an act of allah (the moon-god), and he should be free to practice his faith in the manner prescribed in the terror guide, the koran, and the words of their pedophile prophet, the pig-faced dog, mohammed.
I’m pretty sure that the terrorists at the terror org. CAIR will inform JoJo’s regime that he’s behaving like a greasy islamophobe.
Sure he has freedom of religion. And we are free to put him in prison and execute him.
our commitment to religious freedom for Jihadists and contempt for religious freedom for Americans is second to none
Plus, as far as we know, he never misgendered anybody. A mitigating factor for JoJo Cabbage Brain Biden’s regime.
We are led by complete fools
We are the fools.
We have been betrayed.
I think he should die…right now.
Biden won’t give him the death penalty, he could trade him for a queer black basketball player, just saying.
we’ll see if the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya can get Griner to pay a visit for an exhibition game
yet Biden supports Abortion and the murder on uncounted thousands unborn babies each year. Biden is a typical two faced politician
Money from China, Ukraine, credit card issuing banks.
Clandestine services are in demand.
Biden is a player.
That’s because the mussies running the DNC won’t like that.
If the Biden maladministration sought the death penalty he might spill the beans and reveal that Iran was actually behind the bombing in retaliation for the downing of the Iran Air flight 655 airliner by the U.S.S. Vincennes. Libya was just the cut-out to conceal Iran’s involvement. And we can’t have anything like that stand in the way of Biden/Obama’s insane pursuit of a nuclear giveaway with Iran.
