Interesting. A White guy, described as a Leftist by local sources other than the FBI, arrested the day before his planned attack.
Good police work or good Grooming?
Needs much more attention and investigation.

He is certain to be released immediately, if not before.

They have one, sorta photoshopped pic and have resized it 3+ times. I hope there's more details because this smells like a distraction.

Caught “1 day before attack” means he was sharing his plans with someone. Most likely an FBI agent egging him on. Seems the only “terrorists” they can stop are the ones they create.

I guess every once in a while the FBI has to burn one of it’s assets to look like they’re doing something.

I don’t believe it. Set up to try and save face. They are on the chopping block for their corruption.

Norm MacDonald: What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?

I noticed the knives thing too.
No firearms, but “plans to take his dad’s guns after knocking out his dad” or something like that.
He had, iirc, a bowie knife and a machete.
Something about this seems fishy.

How did they find the time? Between J6 witch hunts, catholic church hunts, pta meetings and face act investigations how did they manage to find this one?
