Missouri Man Sentenced to 19 Years Behind Bars For Attempting To Help ISIS
2020-03-06
[IBTimes]
  • 28-year-old Robert Lorenzo Hester, Jr. was sentenced to 19 years in prison after attempting to help ISIS in planning an attack on the United States

  • Hester's was charged in a criminal complaint in 2017 after he attempted to provide material support to ISIS

  • What he believed to be a deadly attack in the name of ISIS in the U.S. was actually an undercover operation by the FBI to expose his involvement
Another one whose jihadi besties turned out to be FBI informants.
One particular social media post Hester made pointed that he had converted to Islam and posted several photos of weapons and the ISIS flag. In addition, he was told that the planned attack would be at the President's Day holiday where they would target "buses, trains and a train station in Kansas City."

Hester "expressed approval" of the said attack and even told and undercover FBI agent that it would be "good to strike back at the true terrorist," said Scallywag & Vagabond, citing a statement from the criminal affidavit.

He also detailed potential attacks on "federal places," "government officials," "military bases," "oil production" and "Wall Street," said ABC News, adding that Hester also agreed to help undercover agents to build a bomb and store weapons that they will use for the attack.

Hester was enlisted in the U.S. Army for less than a year and through his experience said that he was proficient with assault weapons and can gain access to military bases, added the outlet, citing DOJ's statement.
Whether or not he left willingly, it’s a good thing this idiot is no longer in uniform.

#2  After the war mongering evil west invades the Muslim holly lands of Missouri. Herb to the jihad rescue.

ya gotta wonder if this nut would have gone anywhere had the FBIMuhamhead not spread the table for him to sit at.

Fixed.

By the way asshat wouldn't have be nice if the FBI had done its job with Bin Laden's 9-11 crew? By the McToy's logic, that would have been a frame up too.

#1  While it's well and good to collar terrorists, ya gotta wonder if this nut would have gone anywhere had the FBI not spread the table for him to sit at.

They have to have arrests to point to, you know. Used to be the FBI was pretty much incorruptible. Today? They attempted a coup against the president. Nobody went to prison for it.
