Bet we won't hear much from the "where was the FBI/NSA before this happened" crowd about this.

because when we get the full story it will turn out to be another harmless, mentally-challenged individual snared in an entrapment scheme, as these things inevitably do

weapons? I agree with you on the mentally challenged part, but harmless? Nope.


'“I believe that we should just wage jihad under our own orders and plan attacks and everything,” Cornell allegedly wrote in an online message to the informant in August, according to the FBI. “I believe we should meet up and make our own group in alliance with the Islamic State here and plan operations ourselves."

In the message, Cornell said that such attacks “already got a thumbs up” from radical cleric Anwar Awlaki “before his martyrdom.” '

when the full story comes out - if it ever does - chances are extremely good this was all provoked and encouraged as part of an entrapment sting, and that left to his own devices the individual arrested would have done nothing but mouth off.

The FBI has arrested an Ohio man for allegedly plotting an Islamic State-inspired attack on the U.S. Capitol, where he hoped to set off a series of bombs aimed at lawmakers, whom he allegedly considered enemies.

Christopher Lee Cornell -– also known as Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah -– was arrested earlier today on charges of attempting to kill a U.S. government official....

Just remember, the FBI always picks on people dumber than them, so if you have an IQ over 60, I wouldn't worry.

the white domestic terrorist who tried to firebomb a NCAAP building, recently.


And look at this "apparent extremist":

Because white folks are "apparent extremists" and brown folk are " terrorist jihadists".
