Ahmed Khan Rahimi should spend the rest of his life behind bars for his terror-tied activities because he shows no remorse for his plots to kill, prosecutors told a federal courtroom this week.

The 29-year-old New Jersey man was convicted last October for planting a couple pressure-cooker bombs in New York and in New Jersey on September 17, 2016. And, apparently, he’s been trying to radicalize fellow inmates.

But he’s not the least bit sorry for his plots, prosecutors say. And that makes him more likely to commit more terror if he’s ever released, they argue.
Fox News has more:
The charges against him, including using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a public place, carry a maximum punishment of life in jail. And that’s what prosecutors said they believe he should get.
“Since his arrest and conviction, the defendant has failed to show remorse for his crimes, and has instead attempted to radicalize his fellow inmates and made light of his attacks,” prosecutors wrote in a submission to Judge Richard M. Berman, who is scheduled to sentence Rahimi on Feb. 13.
Rahimi, an Afghanistan-born man inspired by the Islamic State and al Qaeda in 2012, reportedly began attempting to radicalize other inmates at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in October.
According to prosecutors, he shared propaganda materials, speeches by terrorist leaders like Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki and bomb-making instructions. One inmate who was said to have viewed the materials was facing charges of providing material support and resources to ISIS.
“As the evidence at trial demonstrated, the defendant was committed to waging his holy war against Americans years before he carried out his attack,” prosecutors said. “Even today, he appears to remain steadfast in that commitment and has shown no remorse. The defendant’s communications while incarcerated further demonstrate that, far from appreciating the depravity of his actions, he is proud of what he did, scornful of the American justice system, and as dedicated as ever to his terrorist ideology.”
Prosecutors added that Rahimi “has not been deterred, but rather emboldened” following his conviction.

Execute him and save in every area. muslims see failure to exercise a death penalty as a weakness and he will be released when we have another Obama

Of course he has no remorse. He wants to die for allah. He should be given his wish by KCl (lethal injection).

If it was good enough for mutgonad, police beat upon him, to be poisoned by a woman, then it is good enough for every muslim.

Lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment. FAR better to simply take him to the public square, publicly horsewhip that vile creature … and then .. have him hanged by the neck until dead.

Solitary for life, so he can commune with his God, without harming others.

What puzzles me is how and why does a rat like him get instructions into making bombs in prison for heavens sake,
it’s the same i think in UK, and another thing, why are these types allowed to mingle with others, their brain rabies ought to preclude all such liberties.
HOW are we supposed to believe the authorities are serious about preventing further attacks ?
Don’t believe in what ALL victims should believe in – punishment for the crime combined with a required degree of deterrence ?

Should have gotten life in front of a firing squad

He must atone for his crimes. Send him to a medical research centre where he can be a practice dummy for new drugs and procedures, as he somewhat resembles a human, there might be some value in him participating in… say anesthesia free surgery?

How about run him before a firing squad Nancy boys…

Jihadists possess not one smidgen of conscience; Islam is an incubator for breeding psychopaths. The Chelsea Bomber is one of uncountable of mass-killers. Remorse is not in Islam’s vocabulary, especially the Qur’an; not to ignore, Peace.

Put him in solitary confinement for life. Or maybe a convenient murder by one of the inmates. Not to be discovered as the murderer. Just don’t know how it happened.

It is absolutely insane to put this Muslim terrorist in prison for the rest of his worthless life at a cost to the U.S. taxpayers of at least $20,000.00 per year.
Just shoot him and be done with it!
And save the taxpayers a lot of money.

This Enemy Combatant should be rotting away in a U.S Military Prison. But instead he gets all the taxpayer funded protections afforded American citizens, and he gets to indoctrinate the worst criminals in his comfy American civilian prison, to islam.

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT THEN, if he continues to poison the minds of other human beings.
