Accused bike-path terrorist Sayfullo Saipov tells judge he only answers to Allah

2019-11-20

Ass.

[NYPOST] Accused bike path terrorist Sayfullo Saipov told a Manhattan federal court judge Monday he doesn’t respect his authority ‐ while prosecutors said they want to empanel an anonymous jury to oversee the death penalty

case.

"The orders issued here have nothing to do with me," Saipov told Judge Vernon Broderick through an Uzbek interpreter. "I am following orders of Allah, who gave me life."

The comments followed a hearing regarding jury selection ahead of the alleged ISIS bad boy’s trial for driving a truck down a crowded bike path on Halloween 2017, killing eight people.

Saipov stood as he spoke, wildly gesticulating as he asked Broderick why he was sitting in judgement of him "for the eight people killed" and "not those who are killing thousands and millions of Moslems over the world."

Broderick eventually cut off the 31-year-old, and told him a judge’s role was more like that of a "referee."

"I recognize that you don’t recognize me, or recognize my authority," Broderick added. "This isn’t the time or place to be making statements."

Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon...
Manhattan federal prosecutor Matthew Laroche said the government plans to seek an anonymous jury to sit on the case.

Defense attorney David Patton said his team would be opposing that request.

#7 Amen, consider them spies or saboteurs. Immediate execution after short trial.

#6 The irony is, he is following the orders of Allan. While the cops who arrested him, the judge... they don't know just what the fuck they're doing anymore. The only one who does is the cop who shot him in the stomach. I don't know why he couldn't empty the mag though.

Conventional 'due process' should not apply to people caught red handed in acts of terrorism or mass murder. A new paradigm of dealing with 'spectacular' heinous crime must evolve. It is the goddamn duty of the States we prop up in the hopes they'll protect the citizen.

#4 "I am following orders of Allah, who gave me life."

And soon it will be given back to Allan.

#3 Why was he in the USA?
What benefit to the USA did he even theoretically have?

#1 Muslims must live in a constant, amused bewilderment at the foolishness of courts and law enforcement. No wonder they believe they can take it all.
