Jihadist avoids life sentence in Seattle plea agreement

Kateser sends us a link from the Seattle Times which reports that convert to Islam and violent felon, Michael Dale McCright, who was known on the Internet as “Mikhail Jihad” pleaded guilty yesterday to charges that he tried to run two Marines off the road last year. By pleading out, Mikail Jihad avoided a life sentence under the “three strikes” law in Washington;

Marine Staff Sgt. Ryan Picklesimer described the driver as a “bearded white male wearing a tightfitting, white knit hat.” The driver slowed, apparently to look at the government plate on Picklesimer’s car, then came alongside and saw the sergeant in his uniform.

“Picklesimer reported, ‘His eyes widened and he appeared to become angry,’ ” and then swerved at the sergeant’s car, forcing Picklesimer to take evasive action to avoid being hit, the charges allege. The sergeant was able to get the car’s license number, and he gave it to police.

McCright, of Lynnwood, admitted last week in King County Superior Court that he had tried to run the car off the road

The Times reports that when McCright was arrested, he had the phone number of a local radical cleric in his phone. Obviously, he attacked the Marines because they were indeed Marines. With his extensive criminal record, the little turd should have been thrown in jail for the rest of his miserable life and what interests of the public are served by letting him plead out?
