Joseph D. Jones and Edward Schimenti charged with supporting ISIS
Ex-PH2 sends us a link to the story from Chicago that reports 35-year-olds Joseph D. Jones and Edward Schimenti were charged in federal court yesterday with conspiring to support ISIS.
In the complaint filed in federal court, U.S. Attorney Joel Levin alleges Jones and Schimenti pledged allegiance to ISIS and “advocated on social media for violent extremism in support of the terrorist group.” Multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies were involved in the investigation, including undercover FBI employees who befriended the pair while posing as fellow ISIS devotees.
According to the Department of Justice, the pair was conspiring with FBI informants;
According to a complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, [Joseph D. Jones, also known as “Yusuf Abdulhaqq,” 35, and Edward Schimenti, also known as “Abdul Wali,” 35], both U.S. citizens, pledged their allegiance to ISIS and advocated on social media for violent extremism in support of the terrorist group. In the fall of 2015, the pair befriended three individuals whom Jones and Schimenti believed were fellow ISIS devotees. Unbeknownst to Jones and Schimenti, two of the individuals were undercover FBI employees and the third individual was cooperating with law enforcement and was not an ISIS supporter.
Over the next several months, as part of the conspiracy, Jones and Schimenti allegedly took steps to assist the cooperating source with plans to travel overseas to join ISIS. The defendants met the undercover FBI employees and the cooperating source on numerous occasions, during which Jones and Schimenti discussed their devotion and commitment to ISIS, according to the complaint. Some of the meetings took place in Waukegan, Zion, Bridgeview, North Chicago, Highland Park and Chicago, in Illinois.
At one point, Jones and Schimenti shared photographs of themselves holding the ISIS flag at the Illinois Beach State Park in north suburban Zion, according to the complaint. In a recorded conversation with the cooperating source, Schimenti commented that Schimenti would like to see the ISIS flag “on top of the White House,” the complaint states.
Earlier this year, Schimenti engaged in physical training exercises with the cooperating source at a gym in Zion, the complaint states. Understanding that the cooperating source intended to travel overseas to fight for ISIS, Schimenti commented that the exercises would “make you good, you know, in the battlefield,” according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, last month, the pair furnished several cellular phones to the cooperating source, believing they would be used to detonate explosive devices in ISIS attacks overseas. On April 7, Jones and Schimenti drove the cooperating source to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago with the understanding that the source would be traveling to Syria to join and fight with ISIS. Schimenti told the source to “drench that land with they, they blood.”

Enjoy supporting ISIS in the gray bar hotel boys. It’d be great if they started opening up more beds to fill in GTMO, but whatever works.
Can’t get around this one with the pictures and video with the “we were entrapped by the FBI!” or “my boy never did nothin’ wrong, he’s a good boy!” routines.
He wuz jus infiltratin ISIS tuh leed ’em all to Jeezus.
Once convicted and placed in the graybar hilton, these fuckers need to be placed in isolation; because if they are placed in the general population, they will be nothing but in-house Islami preachers who will convert more gullible fucks into jihadi mozzies. That is basically what’s happening in our prisons right now, with more and more moronic gullible prison fucks being brain-washed into happy little mozzie jihadis by the likes of this pair…
Mr. Jones’s mother said “He never did anything like that. After he joined that religion, he was real nice to me.”
Du-u-uh. If he suddenly had a changed ‘tude, isn’t that a clue that something is going on? Or am I being overly suspicious?
That’s a popular area up there. People camp out there in the summertime, and fish for trout, bluegills and catfish in the fishing pond when it’s restocked.
Those two are I-D-I-O-T-S.
Stupid is as mother is stupid.
Welcome to the internet where the men are real men, the women are real men, and the children (and terrorist conspirators) are the FBI!
Cocksuckers.
KKAAAAAAAA……BBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm……..
“[D]rench that land with they, they blood.” Instead of all those hours now wasted on behalf of the Black Flaggers, Eddie should have enrolled in a course he sorely needs: English as a Second Language.
They really do look like geniuses, don’t they? Prime cattle, they are!
I wouldn’t touch that “beef” with YOUR ten foot pole.
Stick ’em in the hoosegow and let the lifers know they have two brand-new bottom bitches. Every day will be Man-Love Thursday!
Parachute them into ISIS territory with a rusty AK and one magazine of ammo. And an empty canteen.
Oh….that parachuting…? Do it at LALO (Low Altitude Low Opening). hehehehe
I’ll donate a box of .45 hollow points if they’ll cut to the chase and shoot them in the head.
I hope they deport all of these goat fuckers before it’s too late. Why do they let any of them stay? I would blow up all of their little fairy castles as well, I sure as fuck don’t want any of them in my neighborhood! Look what has happened to England after they let these ass hamsters in their country and let them have their sharia law over there? Get rid of all of these cockroaches while we have the chance!!!
These arrests are starting to remind me of the Red scares in the ’50s when the popular meme was of the successfully infiltrated conspirators’ meeting at which everyone was FBI or LEO.
Supporting ISIS is more like supporting Hitler than Communism. True, communists killed hundreds of millions but they were just trying to help people. Hitler slaughtered people on purpose because he thought they were imperfect. There is a distinction there even if it is tough to make out.
“Schimenti commented that Schimenti would like to see the ISIS flag “on top of the White House,” the complaint states.”
Too late, We have BTDT.
