Malik, the first-born son of Allah Farrad, must pay for the fact that he posted a post of his own on Facebook while holding a weapon.
Some people take Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms very lightly. Time and again, many such users have been found paying for some of their posts on social media.
Farrad is the kind of guy who will spend the next 15 years of his life in federal prison because of a single post on Facebook. In reality, the problem was that Farrad is a former convict and it is illegal in the United States for any convicted criminal to possess a weapon. Farrad, in his excitement when he posted the FB post, seems to have forgotten, and the result is that he is now behind bars for a very long period of time.
Farrad was sentenced Thursday to 188 months in a Tennessee federal prison on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He had previously been convicted of weapons and drug trafficking back in 2000, when police found firearms and crack cocaine in his possession. He was released from prison after serving his sentence. According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, Farrad has a history of arrests and convictions dating back to the day he turned 14. However, his latest offense will haunt him for a long time. If he had avoided this post, authorities would not have known that Farrad was breaking the law.
In 2013, the former convict posted a photo of himself on Facebook, shown above, which showed him holding a gun with the laser pointed at his own forehead.
Farrad was sentenced Thursday with a minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison, however given Farrad's criminal history, the judge sentenced to an additional 68 months without the possibility of parole.
