WANNABE JIHADI GETS 25 FOR SOUTH PARK THREATS

WHERE IT STARTED

HE couldn't take a joke. A 21-year-old man with far too little to worry about has been sentenced to 25 years in jail after posting online death threats against the creators of TV cartoon South Park.
Zachary Adam Chesser incited violent jihadists to attack the sometimes controversial show's writers for an episode depicting the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit, court documents said.The humorless headcase posted messages online that included the writer's home addresses and urged fellow travelers to pay them a
visit.

"I accept full responsibility for all of my actions, and I would like to take the opportunity to express remorse," he said in court.

Prosecutors were not moved and said Chesser's actions caused people to fear expressing their opinions--a cornerstone of American libertuy.

U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride said: "The fact that a young man from Northern Virginia could support such violence and terror is a sobering reminder of the serious threat that homegrown jihadists pose to this country."

He pleaded guilty in October to providing material support to terrorists, communicating threats and soliciting others to threaten violence.Chesser converted to Islam in high school.
