Is the judiciary doing absolutely everything to destroy our country?
Originally ... the FBI took Mr. Sturdivant to a state magistrate judge to try to have him involuntarily committed. And that was because he had threatened not only other people's lives, but in the process said he planned to die by a policeman shooting him ... but the state magistrate judge denied involuntary commitment.
This young man apparently wanted to be part of ISIS and decided to lone-wolf a terror attack on a grocery store and the Burger King where he works. He made threats to himself and others. He had weapons, motive, and intent to harm.
The judge STILL denied efforts to have him detained unless criminal charges were pressed.
Here are details from Fox News:
Christian Sturdivant, 18, of Mint Hill — a town outside Charlotte — was arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said.
...
Prosecutors said the alleged plot was foiled after Sturdivant recently began communicating online with an individual he 'believed to be affiliated with ISIS but in reality was a government online covert employee' who is referred to in a criminal complaint as 'OC.' In one of the communications on Dec. 14, Sturdivant allegedly sent the OC an image of two hammers and a knife.
'During his online communications with the OC, Sturdivant said, "I will do jihad soon," and proclaimed he was "a soldier of the state," meaning ISIS,' the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
'In subsequent online communications with the OC, Sturdivant indicated that he planned to attack a specific grocery store in North Carolina and discussed plans to purchase a firearm to use along with the knives during the attack,' it added.
So he said he wanted to kill Americans in the name of Islam, named the time and the place, and explained what weaponry he would use, but the magistrate thought the man didn't present enough of a danger to the public to commit him?
On the bright side, it does mark one of the only times I can remember the FBI actually stopping an attack that was "on their radar."
