Chico, I read that entire article. Seems like Omar is trying to break away from the standard "lock 'em up and let 'em serve their time, only to immediately rejoin the radical group as soon as they get out" status quo that exists today. It even sounds like her Somali community pressured her to try and help these kids with lines like this:



Shit, right after that the article talks about the case of one kid who the judge offered an experimental rehab program to instead of jail time for trying to join ISIS.



God forbid the justice system tries to rehab kids into becoming productive members of society instead of locking them up for years for becoming infatuated with ISIS. Because our current system of punishing criminals with jail time and zero emphasis on rehabbing their criminal mentality is soooo effective.

But yeah, I can see how anybody (i.e. you) that doesn't care for nuance or the complete story would just settle on calling Omar an ISIS sympathizer. Saves a bunch of time vs. getting invested and finding out all the facts before passing judgement.

Ok now flip it to Iowa’s Steven King asking a judge for leniency against a racist for a hate crime. Asking the judge because some backwood racist has been marginalized and violence is the only way to lash out. You wouldn’t draw the same conclusions? Is a racist sympathizer a racist? Is a terror sympathizer a terrorist?

She has a litany of questionable actions, statements etc that she is a terrorist sympathizer

Something that someone did...

How anybody could stand with her...amazing.
