Chesser, shown near the White House, promoted violence on his web site, prosecutors said
Zachary Adam Chesser, of Fairfax county in Virginia, is 20 years old and considers himself a Muslim. He was angry about the portrayal of Muhammad that involved a "South Park" episode. So, he decided to encourage violence toward the writers of the show. He has pleaded guilty to this charge and now faces 30 years on prison.
Chesser of Fairfax County in the state of Virginia also posted to an Islamist militant website the personal contact information of people who had joined an "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" Facebook group.
"Zachary Chesser seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come," US Attorney Neil MacBride said in a statement.
"His solicitation of extremists to murder US citizens also caused people throughout the country to fear speaking out - even in jest - lest they also be labelled as enemies who deserved to be killed."
