Another one this afternoon - from ABC News:
Feds charge Maryland man accused of plotting to ram stolen truck into pedestrians
Federal authorities have charged a Maryland man they believe was plotting to ram a stolen truck into pedestrians at the National Harbor waterfront development in Maryland, just outside the nation's capital, the Justice Department announced Monday.
Rondell Henry, 28, of Germantown, Maryland, has been charged with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, but in court documents authorities allege a much more sinister intention.
According to authorities, Henry claimed to law enforcement that he was inspired by the Islamic State when he stole a U-Haul van looking to use it as a weapon.

On his phone, authorities found "images of gun-wielding ISIS fighters, the ISIS flag, and the Pulse nightclub shooter" who killed 49 people at the Orlando bar three years ago.
Authorities said Henry told them he wanted to create what he allegedly called "panic and chaos" like the attack on pedestrians in Nice, France, in 2016, when a terrorist killed 86 people and wounded 450 others when he drove a 19-ton truck into a crowd celebrating a local holiday.
Sick little piece of shit. Needs to be locked up for a long long time. Justice used to be a lot more simple 100 years ago - we should consider bringing back same-day hangings for people like this.
