A big LGF “Bravo!” to US District Judge William Young, who listened to Richard Reid spew the usual whiny, stupid Islamozoid excuses for murder, and then laid some righteous truth on the mangy terrorist: Shoe bomber gets life in prison.

“We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid,” he said. “We are Americans. We have been through the fire before.”

“You are not an enemy combatant — you are a terrorist,” the judge said. “You are not a soldier in any war — you are a terrorist. To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature. You are a terrorist, and we do not negotiate with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.”

“You see that flag, Mr. Reid? That’s the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is long forgotten.”

Young then turned to one of the court officers and yelled: “Custody, Mr. Officer. Stand him down.” Before handcuffs could be placed on Reid, he leaned across defense table and pointed at the judge, raising his voice.

“You are not going to stand me down,” Reid said. “You will be judged by Allah!” He was taken from the courtroom in handcuffs, struggling the whole way.

The unfortunate part of this is that Reid will be allowed to continue practicing his bloodthirsty version of Islam while rotting away in his cell. In World War II he would have been shot as a saboteur.
