So Long Zach Chesser

An Oakton High School graduate and white privileged suburbanite converted to Islam and attempted to betray his country. Along the way he even tried to spur the murder of the creators of South Park. Now Zach Chesser will rot in jail for the next quarter century.

From the WaPo here:

Zachary Adam Chesser, an Oakton High School graduate and former basketball and football player, wore a green jumpsuit with the word “Prisoner” written in white across the back as he stood before a federal judge in Alexandria to hear his sentence on terror-related charges.

U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady sentenced Chesser to 25 years in prison for trying to join an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Somalia and making threats to the creators of TV’s “South Park” show over their depiction of the prophet Muhammad.

In October, Chesser, of Oakton, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to charges of providing material support to terrorists, communicating threats and soliciting crimes of violence.

O’Grady said Chesser was an “extraordinarily energized traitor to your country.”

Chesser was arrested in July, just days after he was prevented from traveling with his infant son from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Uganda. From Uganda, he was headed to Somalia, and he planned to join al-Shabab, an Islamic terrorist group trying to oust Somalia’s government.

Buh Bye, Zach. Don’t drop the soap. And here’s a picture of Muhammad.
