You to admit it's pretty disconcerting when a cop shoots a suspect, who was handcuffed and in a cruiser, with what they thought was a Taser, but what was actually a sidearm. One of these cops even turned right around and sued Taser, maker of the weapon NOT used in the shooting.

This sounds alot like some of the child abuse reports filed to get back at somebody. Obviously the FBI found out pretty quick they were on a wild goose chase.

Probably a homosexual or pro-abortion activist mole sent in to harass the church.

Yikes.

I wonder if they investigated every liberal who "suggested" there would be violence in the streets if the Passion was shown. Will they dare set foot in a mosque where seething bearded animals fancy themselves at war and behind enemy lines?

Check dataman's point in #45.

[xzins]

Why those Christians....what with their endless record of violence? /sarcasm

[Dataman]

Now the complaint is in a file. Next time the inquisition will be a little more serious. It's like a cop who pulls someone over for a missing tail light and finds he had a warning 6 months earlier. It makes him seem like an habitual violator.

Ping to a disgusting event!!!

I would agree with you had this gone any further. The FBI had what they thought was cause to investigate. The tip they got turned out to be wrong but they did come to that conclusion rather quickly. And it seems without any undo hardship on the minister.

The disgusting part for me is that the tipster did not take their concerns directly to the Pastor first. Had they done that, they would have understood they heard it wrong.

That said, it is pretty scary how things can get twisted.

[Politicalmom]

Are they examining any mosques??

Oh, how silly of me. Imams are threatening Christians, not gays and abortionists.

[BibChr]

Right; if he can't find the person who's filing the complaints.

Somebody in the church that day apparently misunderstood Steele’s “different type of war” comment to mean that he was actually calling his congregation to a physical war against abortion clinics, so he or she placed an anonymous phone call to the FBI. The informant allegedly told the FBI that in addition to Steele calling for a war against abortion clinics, he also said he was willing to go to jail over such a cause.

This is nauseating. I see the FBI has plenty of time and resources to investigate every potential threat to the sacred baby-killing industry, but they just can't seem to be bothered with Islamic death cults, like the one in Jersey City that killed a family of Coptic Christians.

The PC crowd needs to be run out of the federal bureaucracies on a rail. Now! Yesterday!
