FBI arrests Jordanian for downtown Dallas bomb plot...

[Erik]

This is an example of the Feds doing their job.

Yes.

[etxxz]

any person IF they really want something. they will go out of the way, around anything and anybody to get it... or make it happen..

the FBI just helped him a little bit (or completely). maybe if he couldn't get the bombs or the car he wouldn't have done it... you never know.... the point is FBI or not i would have broken this terrorist motherfucker's nuts anyday for just attempting what he did... and i'm not even american.

Maluco, did you know that the constitution gives us all the right to bear arms and can not be infringed? This is another case of the government overstepping its bounds.

He is here illegally, therfor he has no rights.

Also, terrorism is not covered in right to bear arms.

Regardless it went from him talking shit online to being provided a truck and fake explosives by the government. That's all I find interesting.

You keep ignoring the fact that he didn't know the explosives were fake. He thought he was going to kill LOTS of people. Don't you think that changes things?

Think of it like this. I start talking shit on R3V that I hate you and want you dead. Blunt sends me a PM and says he can sell me a loaded gun. I buy it. I drive to your house, put the gun to your head, and pull the trigger. You don't die because it turns out the gun was actually a movie prop and Blunt was actually an undercover agent.

If you were the cops, would you arrest me and charge me with attempted murder or not?

US military/CIA/FBI = win/win/win for us all. Let them do their fucking job, find the dirt herding camel jockeys and kill them.

Personally, I don't agree with FBI tactics... But it wasn't FBI that indoctrinated his ass and forced his hand on a trigger. FBI had every right to follow a lead on a radical teen, and make sure he wasn't just talking out of his ass.


Only thing I wonder about is: how many other angry teens are they putting on and monitoring.

this surprises me as youre usually a level headed poster. times are changing fast dude. this is only the tip. there will be buses blowing up soon. and the borders are unsecured.

Buy ammo and water. Its all you can really do at this point. :(

[Raxe]

You'd be thinking VERY differently if your heroic jihadist had parked that truck under the building you work in.

Exactly.

If I were wearing a tinfoil hat, I'd say something along the lines of... "This just goes to show how the government sets these things up to keep people in fear of an attack from an invisible enemy to control and extort the rights and liberties the constitution was founded upon." But I'm not.

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. - Hermann Goering

if you don't know who Hermann Goering is/was, look it up and then draw akward/strange/fukd parallels to what goes on today with our own governments today

I agree Blunt... I do see it happening but whether it will be from these so called terrorists or from fed up citizens, residents, or illegals I don't know. The border/illegal immigrant situation is frustrating on it's own. Things are just frustrating right now and news and the media don't help a bit; not to even touch on Washington.

I just thought it read funny honestly and that's the only reason I posted it. I try to stay out of the political threads but do read through them. I'm just sick and tired of the feeling that most of us are being fooled in some sense or the other if not in most...

this kid could and should catch a bad one or even a worse one for his hate and nothing else as far as I'm concerned. Regardless it went from him talking shit online to being provided a truck and fake explosives by the government. That's all I find interesting. I knew my last post would strike some of you as me playing devil's advocate. Some of you guys read way too much into this terrorist threat. These primitive radicals are not going to do shit anytime soon. Again, if the threat was as real as it's made out to be, where are all the attacks?

Seems to me regular crime in this country, racism, hate amongst Americans and sometimes even the government are leaps more of a threat than all this.

As if I give a fuck HOW he was caught.

I say public execution!!


Are some of you retards actually complaning that they set this guy up!

[blunttech]

that stupid kid (19 years old) would have probably never gotten his hands on shit had he not been enticed/offered/recruited by a fake ass sleeper cell / bored fed agents... That's the point. Can you count on one hand how many turban middle eastern, terrorists, jihadists, death to infidels have blown anything up in the us??? I can't even account for more than one (yousef) unless i count mcveigh and start counting the crazy school campus shoot em up's. Of course there was 9.11 but that was on a whole other plane, no pun intended. I just think this shit is blown way out of proportion. If it was to the heights in which they speak, us cities would be reminiscent of the gaza strip.

I'm not defending this kid or anything of the like; it's just a bigger picture i see.



Where did you get that he was buying or even trying to buy explosives?

jesus christ man read the fucking news. Weve had 5 incidents of homegrown terror plots in as many days and the dems are trying to take away the tools they use to catch these fuckers. Great job
