Now With Extra Sequels
Everyone remember the Miami Haitian Ninja Terrorists, who were going to do terrible things if they only had boots and uniforms… oh, yeah, they needed some guns, and now that you mention it if they were going to blow things up, maybe some explosives, ’cause, at the time, they were about a half dozen nutters in black pajamas guarding a warehouse in the Liberty City area of Miami?
So, today we finished the sequel, Miami Haitian Ninja Terrorists – The Trial: 1 acquitted, 6 to be retried, in alleged terror plot
MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — One of seven men accused of conspiring to blow up Chicago’s Sears Tower was acquitted Thursday, and a federal jury in Miami failed to reach a verdict on six others arrested in the alleged terror plot.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that the six whose cases ended in mistrials would be retried starting on January 7.
Lyglenson Lemorin, who also goes by the name Brother Levi, was acquitted in the “Liberty City 7” trial, U.S. District Judge Joan Leonard’s office told CNN.
The men were arrested in June 2006 and charged with a homegrown terror plot that officials said may have targeted not only the 110-story Chicago tower — the tallest building in North America — but also the FBI’s Miami offices and other sites.
So things went so well, that next year we can look forward to: Miami Haitian Ninja Terrorists – The Re-Trial.
You have to understand that this trial was in Miami. The city is not exactly known for its love of Haitians. Haitians tend to get shot, a lot, often by police officers. If you can’t get a conviction of a Haitian with a Miami jury, just give it up and stop wasting tax dollars.

miami haitian ninja turtles, now with extra squirrels.
I mean, give it up, it is not going anywhere and is costing us money we don’t have.
Dammit! If I have to make do with fake terrorists, I want good fake terrorists. These simply will not do. My briefs are dry and unsoiled; what kind of “terror” is that, anyway? If this is “homegrown terror,” prosecutors had better stick with the international kind; at least some of that is actually scary. These guys are pitiful! Apparently we have found yet another thing the Bushists are incompetent at: finding plausible terrorists to bring to trial.
Don’t these prosecutors realize that they are making idiots and laughing stocks of themselves? Must be some serious pressure from above to make them do this kind of stuff.
Since this started I have had a sneaking suspicion that this started as a joke by the Miami-Dade cops on the Feds. The guys who patrol Liberty City are well known as gunslingers, and if they hadn’t bothered to throw these guys in jail, they couldn’t be much of a threat. When I first read about this I envisioned a Mel Brooks script, not Tom Clancy.
Give me a break – a group of Haitians with a warehouse in Miami, you know the DEA had the entire operation bugged in no time looking for drugs and came up empty. Before this terrorism thing came up, these guys had been so thoroughly investigated they could qualify for a top secret clearance, except for the fact that they seem to have a major mental health deficit.
The major mental health deficit part, though, is not really a problem for getting a security clearance nowdays. Exhibit A: Paul Wolfowitz. Exhibit B: Dick Cheney. Oh fuggit. Exhibit ABCDE: The entire friggin’ Bush Administration. Sigh!
You’re right, ‘Tux, they qualified for the National Security Council.
