[no-to-illegals]

Moderators, if you had me in full body armor, a word of Thanks. Moderators, if you did not have me in full body armor, a word of Thanks.

Now what time is that press conference? Be Vigilant everyone, please, and Be Prepared.

This is no-to-illegals signing off.

Monday, I think 11:30 am.

I looked and didn’t see a reference to a laptop?

[dawn53]

There’s quite a few articles posted on the thread. One of them mentions a laptop. Not any one article seems to contain all the bits. The part about the student’s hometown, and state of origin is in a video report that someone had posted.

Anyone care to guess what type of fireworks are in Goose Creek?

[txhurl]

And why was the FBI, ATF, Sled, called in, beside county and city officers?

Because there was no link to terrorism!

[mbraynard]

Not you personally, but others have made references to this administration - and you took a shot at the FBI.

I'm not going trying to jump down anyone's throat here, but sometimes is helps to take a breath and not believe everything that you read in the MSM's first (or sometimes final) draft. I thought we learned that lesson.

[Cindy]

Thank you for the ping nicmarlo.

[dixie sass]

They showed the “mug” shots and both were grinning ear to ear as if it was a big joke! I wonder if they will like brig?

[dixie sass]

I’m surprised it hasn’t hit the news shows.

The FBI better come out quickly and say why it is not linked to terrorism, because with the information thus far, their credibility is thoroughly in the crapper.

And if they have no information other than these numbskulls having igniters and fusers in the car, and being near a critical military facility? What then? Is it against the law to possess igniters and fusers? Is it against the law to drive on that road?

If that's all they've got, you want the FBI to publicly state that they're terrorists?

A case built on those two facts wouldn't even make it to court.

I'm not saying these guys are pure as the driven snow -- creating fear could be their idea of fun, like that group of Florida ME med students five years back, or it could be a case of intentional in-your-face provocation, like the flying Imams -- but if what the media is reporting are all the facts there are, for the FBI to call this terrorism, as it is defined in our laws, without any further facts, would, as you say, put their credibility in the crapper.

They are two Democrats using Muslim names so they can get in and out of Charleston safely.

[bert]

No, you are correct. We must remember that next to actual terrorists, we must fear and deal with defense lawyers who in spite of protestations are part and parcel of the terrorist effort.

These lawyers are basically WOT parasites enriching themselves by defending the terrorists.

The FBI by saying anything, will provide fodder for the defense lawyers. Better to say very little or nothing than anything early on.

[mutley]

If that's all they've got, you want the FBI to publicly state that they're terrorists?

Of course not. I didn't suggest that. Obviously, they don't know if it is or not.

for the FBI to call this terrorism, as it is defined in our laws, without any further facts, would, as you say, put their credibility in the crapper.

But why even lean in that direction? Instead of saying it's not terrorism, or that they don't think it's terrorism, why not just say, as of yet, we simply don't know if it's related to terrorism? To immediately suggest it isn't or probably isn't, doesn't give me any confidence in their statements.

[TornadoAlley3]

I still believe the FBI should have said “no comment”. As for the press, you are correct. Possible FBI made no statement at all and media lied, happens. Thanks for reminding me.

“too soon to know” is better than “they don’t think”

[RipSawyer]

Yousef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed

These guys aren’t terrorist? I say BS fried in pig fat.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sounds like a couple of local farm boys to me, probably Scot-Irish ancestry. Of course I am looking for snow today in South Carolina. I don’t know why folks seem to think I am crazy.

[TexasRepublic]

No link to terror? Who does the FBI think they’re kidding?

[upchuck]

“I’m surprised it hasn’t hit the news shows.”

I am too. I watched the news from an Augusta, GA TV station the evening that this happened and they made no mention.

Last night, on a different Augusta station that had the story with some video tape but not a lot of detail.

I’ve been looking for a story that covers the news conference that was supposed to happen this (Mon) morning. Haven’t found anything. Strange.
