Man Guilty in Plot for Islamic State Group to Behead Blogger, By Denise Lavoie, AP via ABC News, September 22, 2016:
Story continues below advertisementA man charged with plotting to help the Islamic State group pleaded guilty on Thursday to conspiracy charges, including a plot to behead conservative blogger Pamela Geller.
Nicholas Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, admitted he conspired with two Massachusetts men to kill Geller and attempted to recruit others to carry out additional violent attacks in the United States. The plots were never carried out.
A plea agreement between Rovinski, 25, and federal prosecutors calls for a sentence of between 15 years and 22 years. Judge William Young set sentencing for March.
Rovinski, who has cerebral palsy and walks with a limp, answered softly when asked by the judge why he decided to plead guilty instead of going to trial.
“I feel that in the interest of myself and the people of the United States I should pay for the crimes that I have committed,” he said.
Prosecutors said Rovinski plotted with David Wright, of Everett, and Wright’s uncle Usaamah Rahim, of Boston, to kill Geller, who angered Muslims when she organized a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, in May 2015. The contest ended in gunfire, with two Muslim gunmen shot to death by police.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Siegmann said Rovinski told authorities after his arrest that he, Wright and Rahim had agreed to kill Geller, who’s from New York. Siegmann said Rahim later told Wright he wanted to go after “those boys in blue,” a reference to police.
Rahim, who had been under surveillance, was shot and killed by authorities on June 2, 2015, after he lunged at them with a knife when they approached him in Boston, prosecutors said. Wright has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
Siegmann said that after Rovinski’s arrest in June 2015 he sent two letters to Wright in which he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, talked about beheading people and told Wright he had recruited a fellow inmate to help “take down” the East Coast and the U.S. government.
“Can’t wait for them juicy necks,” Rovinski wrote, a reference to beheadings, Siegmann said.
Geller called Rovinski a “murderous thug” and said he was right to plead guilty.
“He still deserves the maximum sentence — until he proves he is not a danger to human beings who don’t accept his beliefs,” she said.
Rovinski’s lawyer, William Fick, said Rovinski was a “vulnerable young man” who was “seduced by extremist ideology.”
“He has unequivocally renounced violence and renounced terrorism,” Fick said after the court hearing.
Siegmann said Islamic State recruiter Junaid Hussain communicated instructions about the plot to kill Geller directly to Rahim from overseas in May 2015. Hussain was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Syria in August 2015.
Rovinski pleaded guilty to two federal charges: conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries.

Can’t we just expunge these animals from the surface of the planet already?
Your comment it totally unacceptable
It totally, Dude.
Well, actually it would be cheaper to use them as land fill.
There are animals that are going hungry .
It is very nice he repents and saves the cost of a trial, but that does not mean anything, as he has demonstrated a willingness to flop in which ever direction is appealing at the time. A few decades in jail will help him make his mind up.
Muslims have several options, beastiality, pedophile, necrophile, rapist, gender optional, there is nothing they can’t screw.
The ingratitude of the male muslim, they say the mind is the fist thing to go after a few generations.
We all are.
There is nothing of worth to learn from Mohammad. This filthy prophet is unfit to tie shoelaces
Sometimes I can’t blame these Muslims. They are blind followers of a filthy worthless pedophile fake prophet
We are to forgive our enemies and I will and I will pray for them, but I will shoot back to defend myself and my family.
I abhor these people and all their kind, but I do not see the point of sending a man with cerebral palsy to jail. Not only would his life be very difficult in jail, but he would be a lot of trouble to the prison authorities. I suggest putting a chip in him so he can be monitored all the time for suspicious activity. Also limits on his freedom of movement.
Oh please, terrorists use disabled people as suicide bombers all the time in Israel. This guy is plenty dangerous. And as much as I’d like to think he is remorseful, it’s more likely he’s saying what his lawyer told him to say. He can only be trusted for as long as he’s behind bars. If it’s tough for him in prison, he should have thought of that before.
He’s not too sick to behead infidels! If he can’t hack prison they’ll put him in protective custody. Inmates in prison get great medical care at the tax payers expense. He’ll be just fine. He can hang around with the rest of the Muslim scum in there. I’m sure there’s plenty of them!
Hang around would be better with a noose. Having them in prison only allows them to convert other murders, rapist to Islam, better with them dead.
I totally agree!
Yeah…pass the tissue. Gimme a break.
I may cry. Er, no. Look on the bright side…I’m sure someone will keep him warm in his little bed at night.
Oddly, I’m more concerned how this freaks miserable nihilistic existence and countless jihadist vermin like him, have made Pam Geller’s life more than difficult.
A jailhouse plot between two thugs to take down the East Coast and shut down the US government? This guy either needs a shrink for his mentaal problems or a publisher and/or movie producer for his potentially award-winning piece of fantasy.
Maybe. But delusions and having the ability to carry out such delusions are not mutually exclusive. A plot by Muslim’s to bring down the World Trade Center, bomb Bali, Paris, San Bernadino, Madrid, London, Brussels, Nice, take over Syria and Iraq etc, etc, etc, etc? Preposterous! Oops!
The sentence should be, never to be released.
Just madness letting any Muslims in, as every increase in Muslim population means more terrorism and our freedom is in jeopardy
After watching a few bits of a sickening video of beheadings, with a young caucasion boy learning how to do it is very worrying.
This will be us if we do not hammer Islam into the ground.
One Australian News Australia is goining to let Indonesian TNI troops to train with our troops. Indonesian said we will learn what Australia has. We forget Indonesia is majority Muslim and did Indonesian Chinese genocide before moving into East Timor invading and killing. Now they have moved into West Papua slowly killing and replacing with Indonesians, building naval, airforce and increasing military on Australia’s doorstep.
It will not be long before Indonesia invades Australia
Pamela’s bravery is off the scale, and this article gives us a chance to remind her how much we love her for it. Those who bow before Islam or Muslims (even without explicit threats half the time) are ten-a-penny, and the ones holding public or private office who capitulate are a worse threat and bigger problem even than Islam itself.
Pamela has held hundreds of these lily-livered so-called leaders to account. So brilliant is she, no matter the (no doubt hundreds of) threats, she massively inspires hundreds of thousands of us to keep fighting the scourge of Islam no matter what. Once again, a big thank you Pamela, from all of us!
I TOTALLY agree Mr Middleton.Pamela Geller has what frontiersmen called “sand”.
I would be VERY happy to equip her security personnel with Silver Bullet Gun Oil [SBGO] for free.
Rated by independent shooters as “The Best on the Planet” for making your firearms DEPENDABLE and it ALSO contains 13% Pork Grease.
And yet the leftwing cretins at the Southern Povery Law Center and the ADL will be more obsessed with the bogus charge of Islamophobia. Greenblatt and Chowtok are the worst.
Pamela Geller stands for brave courage!
Please stay safe pam! Your head is too pretty, and intelligent, for these savages
