Not surprisingly, a New York City (liberal) jury did NOT give him the death penalty. Sayfullo Saipov, 34, of Uzbekistan, was sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences, two concurrent life sentences, and a consecutive sentence of 260 years in prison for carrying out a terrorist attack on Oct. 31, 2017, in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS), in which Saipov used a truck to murder eight victims and injure many more on a bike path in lower Manhattan.
Justice.gov On Halloween afternoon in 2017, Saipov used a 6,000-pound truck to strike more than 20 innocent people on the Hudson River Bike Path in lower Manhattan. Saipov killed eight of his victims and critically injured many others, including a 14-year-old child. Saipov’s surviving victims suffered amputations, serious brain injuries, life-altering physical injuries, and significant psychological trauma.
Saipov committed his attack after years of devotion to the brutal terrorist organization ISIS and after months of careful planning. In the weeks before his attack, for example, Saipov rented a truck to practice maneuvering it so that he could hit as many people as possible. Saipov brought a note to the attack with the ISIS flag and rallying cry written on it. After his attack, while in custody at a hospital, Saipov told the FBI that he committed the attack in response to calls from the leader of ISIS and that he was proud of what he had done. Saipov smiled when describing his attack and sought to hang the ISIS flag in his hospital room.
In prison, Saipov also made statements confirming his continued belief that enemies of ISIS should be eliminated and threatening to cut the heads off of corrections officers. At the liability and sentencing phases of trial, many of Saipov’s victims and their family members bravely described the terror he caused and the pain and suffering they continue to endure.
AMREN Sayfullo Saipov has been pretty clear about his motives.
Speaking through an interpreter for about 10 minutes, Saipov said the decisions of a U.S. court were unimportant to him. He said he cared about “Allah” and the holy war being waged by the Islamic State…
“So the Islamic State is not fighting for land, like some say, or like some say, for oil. They have one purpose, and they’re fighting to impose Sharia (Islamic law) on earth,” he said.
Frontpage Mag – Daniel Greenfield Saipov believes in the death cult of Allah which views the murder of non-Muslims as the highest virtue.
That’s a point he made after the victim impact statements.
When it was Saipov’s turn to speak, he did not apologize. Instead, he delivered a lengthy religious speech, spanning from Adam and Eve to the creation of the Islamic caliphate. Through an interpreter, he called “jihad,” or fight against the enemies of Islam, the highest form of prayer.
Saipov closed his speech by saying that he had heard the victims during the trial — that he figured their tears could fill a handkerchief. But he said the tears and blood of killed Muslims could fill the entire courtroom. Then he praised Allah, just as he did at the end of his attack.
Makes one wonder if people “following orders” from a religion whose holy texts command the murder of non-Muslims and the colonization and conquest of their lands really have a place in the United States…much less an American taxpayer funded lifetime of trying to convert other prisoners to his death cult posing as a religion.
Mad Celt says
Islam is not a religion. It is a political worldview disguised as a religiin.
Az gal says
Put him in solitary for life to keep him from spreading the evil of Islam in prison.
VMS says
Florence Colorado ADX, Unit H, is the perfect place for him. He remains in his cell 23 hours a day with one hour outside in an exercise yard. He has zero communication with other prisoners and no physical interaction with the guards.
ADX is reserved for the worst of the worst. Read the Wiki article where they name many of its inmates. Unsurprisingly, Muslims are over represented.
Az gal says
Probably not enough room for all the Muslums we need to send there. Time to do some executions. I hope they consider him dangerous enough.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Why solitary?, this way he costs good peoples money, i say give him a bullet and good is. Get rid of the problem and it wont follow you around.

I like the “British” method of disposal.
Barry White says
Muslim members of the United States Congress;
Keith Ellison, Minnesota
André Carson, Indiana
Ilhan Omar, Minnesota
Rashida Tlaib, Michigan
Congress passed a law in 1952 that disallowed Muslims from participating in American government because in order to practice Islam you have to practice Sharia Law, which is governing law. Here in America, that is the ultimate conflict of interest.
The law was tucked away until 2009, when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals put a secret hush on it to allow Barack Obama to be President. After that, Muslims started running for office left and right, leading to a Senator, 2 congressmen, 5 mayors and a governor all belonging to the Islamic faith.

BW, thank you for that insight.
Vetmike says
There you have it. Almost every Muslim’s wet dream; kill every non-believer they can. Of course, offering to return the favor will get you banned, arrested and/or killed.
Ramez Fekry says
Only 3 men out of 3 billion non-Koranimal males have “returned the favor,” namely Baruch Goldstein, Alexandre Bissonnette, and Brenton Tarrant, the unsung heroes of European Judeo-Christian Civilization in the 20th and 21st centuries!
Hartmut says
Well he spoke the truth when opening up on his motive, and he was speaking for all the other Jihadists who caused massive havoc in Europe and North America.
It is because of political correctness and not fueling ‘Islamophobia’ his remarks will go by widely unnoticed. Only upside is the judges did not buy into any mental derangement as they always love to do in Europe.

I think we need to bring back the ‘Death Penalty’ in every country to get rid of Killers, Muslim & non-Muslim. Cruelty and violent crime is now out-of-control. The good news is loss of freedom for life in prison is worse than death. Problem is we have idiots years later releasing murderers back into society with no concern for their victims.
Ted says
Guillotine death penalty for a muslin means his head is gone and will keep from getting any birgims
Daniel Erbstoesser says
You said it all. Im for the death penalty then all know what they are doing and to know the consequences for the crime. Germany they get probation for rape and murder and the victim well he she was at fault that the muslim scum had to kill them. I say pay back what you get and soon the paying back will start. Im fed up with this poor muslim shit and the tolerance is all gone, shit i even hate the queers now and i never lost a thought on them earlier but since they have to queer around in all places i cant see or hear this shit anymore. Germany for examle has murders and rapists walking free and the victim gets to see them daily, nice aint it.
Ziggysue says
Why on earth are our governments still allowing these freaks into our countries?
We don’t need them. There’s no reason for the to be here.
The people who let this bastard in should be imprisoned for being accessories.
I live in England UK & I no longer go anywhere near my city centre.
Its infested with these cockroaches.
They are so dangerous.
We should have a total ban on all Muslim immigration.
Its an existential crisis we are facing.
When will our leaders accept this.
They don’t care about us.
They hate us.
We are to be sacrificed on their alter of multi cultural diversity,aka population replacement.
