Terror suspect David Williams’ father went on an anti-Semitic rant after his son and three others entered not guilty pleas.
“The government is blowing this up, especially those Jews,” David Williams Sr. said of allegations the four suspects plotted to blow up Bronx synagogues.
“Those Jews in the media are turning this into something it is not.”
The younger Williams and co-defendants Laguerre Payen, James Cromitie and Onta Williams pleaded not guilty to a federal indictment that accuses them of conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction. If guilty, they could face life in prison.
Payen tried to portray himself as mentally unfit to stand trial. “I don’t understand the stuff the court talks about,” he said in White Plains Federal Court.
Federal prosecutor Eric Snyder said it was a crazy act.
“On April 28, he is on a very clear recording talking about beating the case in a very sophisticated way,” Snyder said. “It’s very different from the way he’s talking now in an effort to mislead the court.”

Conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction? Does such a threat have to be blown up? The guy is nuts but not enough not to stand trial.
Excellent job by the FBI.

I think this guy should go to jail with the rest of them he obviously has the same views as them and he might do something like that too.
David Williams’s cousin told the New York Post that there was not an anti-semitic thread in his body. Either the father is imagining things or the cousin is lying. Either way we are all now aware from this evil was spawned.
