A Northern California man faces several decades in prison after admitting to setting up social media accounts to support the Islamic State group, prosecutors said. "I've been so excited about it...(I've been) hyped up," he says in the video. Alhaggagi’s lawyer and family insist he is a “sarcastic young man” who likes being provocative, but didn’t actually commit any crimes. “Amer did not commit or plan a violent act. He opened a small number of social media accounts for ISIS sympathizers,” Alhaggagi’s family said in a statement.
