Chelsea bomber sentenced to rot away in prison

An unrepentant, homegrown Islamic terrorist was sentenced to multiple life terms behind bars Tuesday for setting off a time bomb that injured 31 people in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood as part of a planned wave of attacks across New York and New Jersey.

Ahmad Khan Rahimi, an Afghan immigrant who became radicalized through online postings by al Qaeda and ISIS, had faced ​at least one mandatory life sentence since a jury convicted him in October on eight counts, including use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Chilling surveillance videos played at Rahimi’s trial showed pedestrians enjoying a temperate Saturday night before they recoiled in shock and ran for their lives when his pressure-cooker bomb blew up outside a home for the blind and disabled around 8 p.m. Sept. 17, 2016.

Should have gotten the death penalty. No appeals

Dreamer? Or chain migration?

So now he will be converting thugs in prison to the Muslim way of life. Way better if he was killed.
