Tarheel Terrorism Update

Would be murderer and terrorist Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar appeared in court today and will be charged with 18 counts including 9 for attempted murder. In an interesting twist, he was represented by a woman public defender and didn't seem too happy about it:

Taheri-Azar spoke softly and it was difficult to hear exactly what he said. Woodall, who was standing near him during the first appearance, later said Seahorn spoke to Taheri-azar as he was sitting in the defendant’s chair. “She whispered in his ear to stop talking, and he said he would decide when to stop talking,” Woodall said.

The little weasel will represent himself with the help of Allah:

As news reporters shouted questions at him about representing himself, Taheri-Azar replied, “Allah is my lawyer.”

Well good luck with that, I didn't see his add on the back of the phone book. I guess Allah is selective about the clients he takes, kind of like Johnnie Cochran was when he roamed this earth. I wonder if the Muslim God charges by the hour.

Much more at LGF including the UNC tack of searching for root causes and the college Republicans protesting.

Update: Ace has a great take:

Good Lord All Mighty, this country has become so Islamophobic that an Islamist "student" from Iran can't even rent an SUV, plow into a gathering of infidels, express his gratitude at being afforded the opportunity to murder polytheists according to "Allah's will," and "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world" by striking at the heart of the American Military-College-Basketball complex without reactionaries claiming it's "terrorism" of some sort.

He says "the truth" will be his lawyer. I just called "the truth," who assured me, "No way, I ain't going anywhere near that."
