Pamela Geller provided thoughts to the Court sentencing
David Daoud Wright for planning to behead her.
On a personal level I almost
forgot about this wannabe Jihadi murderer. I ran into the Geller Court
submission at the G+ Community Kafir and Proud (Public).
Daoud was sentenced to 28-years in the slammer.
Info on Mr. No Religion of
Peace:
…
Wright
was found guilty of the charges against him in October but had to wait an
additional two months for his sentencing process to be resolved. Wright was
found to have been plotting to murder and behead blogger Pamela Geller and was
also disseminating ISIS propaganda and recruiting for the organization
online.
Together
with his uncle, Usaamah Abdullah Rahim, Wright also planned to murder
police officers in this area, and possibly behad [sic] them on video.
Rahim was killed by police officers after approaching them while carrying a
13-inch knife, and Wright was apprehended just hours later while attempting to
destroy evidence linking him to the foiled plot. …
“Despite
the fact that he was born in Massachusetts, Mr. Wright turned against his
country and joined a radical terrorist organization,” Acting United States
Attorney William D. Weinreb said …
Wright
and his uncle Usaamah Rahim had also reportedly received details on how to
kill their original victim, Pamela Geller, from ISIS fighter Junaid Hussain,
who was killed by an airstrike in Raqqa in 2015. The pair also extensively
researched bomb-making and how to acquire a variety of weapons to carry out
their attacks. (Massachusetts

An

…
Beginning
in at least February 2015, Wright began discussing ISIS’ call to kill
non-believers in the United States with his uncle, Usaamah Abdullah Rahim, and
co-defendant Nicholas Alexander Rovinski. Specifically, Wright created a
“martyrdom” operation cell in Massachusetts. In April 2015, he created a
Twitter page for the “Lions of America” and published a document entitled,
Internal Conquest, on the internet in which Wright called on the “Lions of
Allah” to kill Americans.
Wright
also plotted with Rahim and Rovinski to behead U.S. citizens at the direction
of ISIS, and identified a New York woman as the first beheading target. Rahim
purchased three knives for this plot. In addition, Wright knew Rahim was
communicating with an ISIS member in Syria, Junaid Hussain, who provided Rahim
with an encrypted document containing details about the intended victim. In
August 2015, Hussain was killed in an airstrike in Raqqah, Syria.
In
preparation for their attack, Wright conducted extensive research on weapons,
knives, machetes, bombing making components, and methods to subdue their
victims. Wright also conducted research on “how to start a secret militia in
the United States.” (United
States of America v. David Daoud Wright, a/k/a Dawud Sharif Abdul Khaliq, a/k/a
Dawud Sharif Abdul Khaliq; More Law Lexapedia; 12/20/17)
Thanks to the Boston Globe
gleaning info from Wright’s mother, here is a snapshot David Daoud Wright’s
youth before he was entangled with ISIS:
But
Wright’s mother — along with an uncle and his defense attorneys — contend that
he was an overweight 28-year-old who rarely left his mother’s home, where he
spent most of his waking time playing video games or searching the Internet for
a way to ease his loneliness.
Wright
has a restless intellect that would often lead him to become obsessed with an
issue for months on end until another caught his interest, his mother wrote. …
Muhammad
painted a portrait of a difficult life for her son. He had little contact with
his biological father, who was abusive to her, she said. He often
struggled to fit in socially because he was so much heavier and taller than his
peers — he wore size 13 shoes and was 6 feet tall in seventh grade, she said. (With
her son facing life in prison, mother of terror plotter says he was
‘brainwashed’ by ISIS; By John R. Ellement; Boston
Globe; 12/15/17)
So, what I glean from Wright’s
mother and a little guess work with his given name being mostly
Christian/English; Wright not only is an American citizen that learned to hate
American culture, he was born in the USA. I mean if someone took the younger Wright
under his wing, he could have grown up to be President like another young man
raised as a Muslim in his childhood.
Without further ado, here is

evaluate a sentence for David Daoud Wright.

Pamela Geller’s Full
Victim Impact Statement at the Sentencing of Daoud Wright
December 20, 2017
Here is the full Victim
Impact Statement that I read today at the sentencing of would-be jihad murderer
Daoud Wright:
Pamela
Geller Victim Impact Statement
Sentencing
David Daoud Wright
It
is impossible to overstate the devastation that Daoud Wright has brought to my
life and that of members of my family. Not only did he target me for a brutal,
cruel and violent death, but he targeted family members, and this will not even
be over with his sentencing.
Daoud
Wright wanted to kill me over my First Amendment right, free speech – speech he
was indoctrinated to think was an immense evil by his violent and absolutist
belief system and ideology. There has been no indication that he has given up
these beliefs. If he says he has, his sincerity cannot be taken for granted, as
deception is part of his twisted beliefs. Thus there is no assurance that
anyone can possibly give me that if he is released from prison at any time in
the future, that he would not resume his quest to kill me and my relatives.
Therefore
Daoud Wright should be given the sentence of life in prison without the
possibility of parole.
Not
only has Daoud Wright made it impossible for me to live a normal life. Not only
has he forced me to spend tens of thousands of dollars on security measures in
my home, guards when I appear in public, and numerous other precautions. He
terrorized our lives. He has caused me and my relatives physical and emotional
distress, as well as the crippling financial costs required as a result of his
mass murder plot.
All
that is bad enough, but there is more. This will never end for me, and so it
should never end for Daoud Wright.
If
he gets out, my family members and I will be in new danger. If he doesn’t get
out, others who share his violent creed could easily decide to take up where he
left off, and finish the job he was not able to finish. Wright could even
incite them and encourage them from prison.
All
this has happened to me because I dared to stand up for the freedom of speech
against violent intimidation. I urge the court to do the same thing: to show
that the court is aware that the freedom of speech is the foundation of every
free society, and that we take violent acts intended to suppress speech not
just as the crime of one or two or three individuals, but as a challenge to the
very foundations of our society and to basic principles of human rights.
Giving
a lighter sentence to Daoud Wright would send the message to thousands of
others like them that they can plot freely to murder those who say things that
offend their evil ideology, and the consequences will be slight.
Please
send the opposite message. Let Daoud Wright and those who think like him know
that if they plot to kill Americans for the crime of speaking out against
injustice, we will just speak out all the more – and they will pay the full
price for their crimes.
Thank
you.
The court did not listen, and
gave this savage 28 years. He will, of course, be out sooner than that. The fat
jihadi actually started crying when he had to make a statement — so dishonest,
I couldn’t believe it. The defense wanted him sentenced to only 16 years, so at
least the 28-year sentence is better than that. After he gave Wright 28 years,
the judge ordered him to stay away from me and everyone close to me. And he will
be on supervised release. So in that sense, it could have been worse.
“Man gets 28 years in plot to
behead conservative blogger,” AP, December 19, 2017:
BOSTON
(AP) — A man convicted of leading an Islamic State-inspired plot to behead a
conservative blogger who upset Muslims when she organized a Prophet Muhammad
cartoon contest was sentenced Tuesday to 28 years in prison.
David
Wright, who’s 28 years old, was sentenced by a judge in Boston’s federal
courthouse two months after jurors found him guilty of conspiring with his
uncle and a Rhode Island man to kill blogger Pamela Geller on behalf of the
terror group.
Wright’s
attorneys had asked for a 16-year sentence, saying he should be given the
chance to redeem himself after serving his time. Wright insisted he never
really wanted to hurt anyone but pretended to support the Islamic State group
to get attention online.
Prosecutors
and Geller wanted Wright to get life in prison. Prosecutors portrayed Wright as
the leader of the conspiracy to kill Geller, who has spearheaded scores of
events across the nation to decry Islamic extremism, such as the cartoon
contest in Garland, Texas.
The
plot to behead Geller, of New York, was never carried out. Instead, Wright’s
uncle Ussamah Rahim told Wright on a recorded phone call that he decided to go
after “those boys in blue,” referring to police. Wright told his uncle that was
“beautiful” and encouraged him to delete all the data from his computer before
carrying out his attack.
Hours
later, Rahim was fatally shot by authorities after he lunged at them with a
knife when they approached him in Boston.
Prosecutors
said Wright collected dozens of gruesome Islamic State videos and documents
that encouraged violence against Americans, including a manifesto that said
America’s days are “numbered.” In court documents, they accused him of trying
to “deceive” the court into believing that he never meant any harm.
Wright,
who was more than 500 pounds when he was arrested, testified during the trial
that he started sharing Islamic State propaganda because he was desperate for
attention and an escape. But he said the plan to kill Geller was just “trash
talk” and claimed he never believed his uncle was serious about attacking
police….
Geller,
who spoke at Wright’s sentencing, urged the judge to sentence him to life in
prison, saying it was “impossible to overstate the devastation” he had brought
to her life. She said she had been forced to live in fear and spend tens of
thousands of dollars on security.
“There
is no assurance that anyone can give me that he would not resume his quest to
kill me and my relatives,” she said.

HUNTED IN AMERICA" is
