FLINT, Mich. -- A Montreal man convicted of terrorism for nearly killing an airport police officer in Michigan was sentenced Thursday to life in prison. U.S. prosecutors said Amor Ftouhi drove 1,600 kilometres from Montreal to the airport in Flint, Mich., where he yelled "God is great" in Arabic and repeatedly stabbed Lt. Jeff Neville on June 21, 2017. Investigators said Ftouhi wanted to kill Neville, take his gun and start shooting people in the airport. He legally drove into the United States at Champlain, N.Y., and arrived in Flint five days later. He tried but failed to buy a gun at a gun show and instead bought a large knife. <snip> "Do I regret what I did? Never," Ftouhi told the judge inside a federal courtroom in Flint. "I regret I didn't get that machine-gun. I regret I didn't kill that cop." The statements stunned U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman, who said he'd been "wrestling very hard" with a decision about whether to allow Ftouhi a chance to someday be released from prison. Leitman said the remarks "persuaded me beyond any shadow of a doubt" that a life term was appropriate. "He was crystal clear today: If he had the opportunity to kill more people, he would," the judge said. www.ctvnews.ca/world/canadian-sentenced-to-life-in-u-s-airport-attack-1.4385140

Did she really think it was okay to take a loaded firearm into another country? The answer of course is 'yes'. Stupid woman.
