Everett man convicted of plotting ISIS murders with his uncle, who was shot to death by law-enforcement officers in Roslindale

Associated Press reports a federal jury today convicted David Wright of involvement in a conspiracy to behead rightwinger Pamela Geller and others in an ISIS terror plot.
Wright was the nephew of Usaamah Rahim, who was fatally shot by an FBI agent and a BPD officer in a Roslindale parking lot in 2015 after he went after them with a large knife after deciding he couldn't wait to go after Geller and instead wanted to kill some "boys in blue" right away.
Last year, a third man pleaded guilty to his role in the plotting.

...for all the free speech people who defended the Charlottesville marchers to defend this guy.
I think the proof is in the fact that he apparently radicalized his own uncle? I mean, even it was the only guy he impacted, that's still enough to warrant jail time.
More bad news for the Mets though.
Depends upon your perspective, I suppose
Since his idea was to kill that Geller woman for saying that Islam was a bad religion, or expressing her free speech rights, that kind of means that this guy was just like the antifa folks.
I mean, I came away from this trial thinking this guy was a loser that was kind of responsible for his uncle’s death, but now you’ve got me thinking about the antifa.
Oh please
Perhaps you've forgot which side murdered someone with car down there. Antifa is about as real a threat as voter fraud.
No, I remembered
I think you forget that the antifa is opposed to horrible people speaking, much like the man in this story. I mean, are you saying Pam Geller is a good person?
I admit, I bought his story
He DID radicalize his uncle, so he is guilty of that. I don't think he had any constitutional right to sow violence. However, I have to admit I did buy his, "I was just an unpopular guy looking for attention" argument. As such, I don't think it serves anyone to send him away for life, but maybe 10 years is sufficient.
