    Translation: we found some mentally ill kid, groomed him into participating an imaginary terrorist attack, and charged him once we had done enough for us to nail him.

      But he had hammers! He could have killed hundreds of people with those if they were made of fissionable material and he was able to start a chain reaction, a capability which I’m sure the government would confidently assert that he could achieve “within two to three years.”

    “Their online messages, along with a recent search of his home, indicated attacks would occur with knives and hammers…” — So, they found no explosives or guns in their suspect’s house and went with whatever potential weapons they could find.

      I have so many knives and hammers and axes and shivs and even a saw or two.

      I’m basically ready to go on a mass killing spree, according to them.

      I’m surprised they didn’t list pencils in there. Anyone who’s seen John Wick or the dark knight knows they are deadly weapons.

      Even before the Trump rot set in, the FBI was good at finding some unusually susceptible incel and entrapping him.
