The more I read about the Portland “terrorist” the more I think the FBI entrapped a patsy to make themselves look good.
The whole thing stinks.
Remember folks, if one of your “friends” wants you to rob a bank, he’s FBI.
If he wants you to blow something up, he’s ATF.
If he wants you to hang on to some drugs for him, he’s DEA.
*corrected city.
And you’ll note that all the information out there to dissuade us from calling this a clean case of Entrapment are the very people who would be guilty of said entrapment.
Yeah it really stinks, and I hate it because it DOES sound like Little Hadji is a Grade-A asshole.
Yeah but that last one could be Mookie, too.
OMG TERRORISM! They have to manufacture fear in an effort to remain relevant and appear competent.
Well … I do like the idea of cops pretending to be AQ for these little wannabe jihadis. But they shouldn’t be trumpeting this as a big triumph. More like SOP for internet commandos. It also makes it harder for real jihadis to recruit.
If some asshole starts jawing about blowing shit up, he should be encouraged to spend some time in a cell if he wants to get serious. Just slap a 5 year conspiracy charge on them and call it done. Teaching the perp how to blow shit up got us Timothy McVeigh.
