Man gets 8 years in X-ray weapon plot that targeted Muslims

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York man who admitted building a remote control for a mobile X-ray device intended to kill Muslims has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Eric Feight, 57, of Hudson, pleaded guilty in 2014 to providing material support to terrorists. He was sentenced Wednesday in federal court in Albany.
Feight, a control systems engineer, told U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe that co-defendant Glendon Scott Crawford first approached him to help create a mobile X-ray to sterilize medical waste, only later telling him it could be used to target Muslim terrorist cells operating in the U.S.
"Potential targets were never discussed with me," Feight said. The married father of three said he became afraid to drop out after Crawford introduced him to two seemingly dangerous investors in the project, actually FBI undercover agents.

Investigators taped Crawford, a Navy veteran and also a family man with no criminal history, calling Islam "an opportunist infection of DNA" and approaching a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard who was an FBI informant for support with the X-ray.

He should get the Congressional Medal of Honor for this.

At least they are trying. I don't see the black panthers funding any anti terrorists gadgets.

He sounds like the hero we need, not the one we deserve

Love it when the FBI hatches a plot and just goes and finds dopes to sucker into it so they can then say they're fighting terrorism.
The only terrorists they've ever caught are the ones they've created.

He got eight years because he was only targeting their egg bags.

How much time did Crawford get?

What did he do wrong again? The article even states:

He procrastinated for six months in delivering the remote control while refusing to integrate it to directly operate the actual X-ray machine the agents brought,

you are so right. Seems like this guy was definitely entrapped. these people aren't keeping us safe, they are baiting us into breaking the law so they can make a headline.

Wasn't there some story years back about a KKK cell, except it turned out that all the members were just from different branches of law agencies trying to make a bust?
