Captured Paris attacker sentenced to make mild disagreement at Trump rally
PARIS - The French judicial system is reeling in shock after the controversial sentencing of Salah Abdeslam, a captured terrorist involved in the November 2015 attacks in Paris. According to a French press release following the hearing, Abdeslam will be forced to attend a Donald Trump rally and verbally profess a mild disagreement.
The sentence, delivered after a quick extradition from Belgium and guilty plea in France, left the normally composed Abdeslam wracked with sobs in the courtroom, his head down on the table in front of him.
"America is already great," he was heard muttering. "Please don't make me make it any greater."
Courtroom personnel were forced to physically drag him from his seat, but Abdeslam offered no resistance as he was dressed in a Bernie Sanders t-shirt and given a #BlackLivesMatter button.
