Trump Supporters Busted By FBI For Plotting MASSIVE Terrorist Attack

By Stephen D Foster Jr on October 14, 2016 9:47 pm ·

The FBI thwarted an act of domestic terrorism on Friday when they arrested three white men for plotting to blow up an apartment complex in Kansas.

Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright, and Patrick Stein were all taken into custody after an investigation that took eight months busted the trio for planning a massive terrorist attack in Garden City.

Their target was an apartment complex and a mosque that serviced 120 Somali refugees.

According to KWCH, United States Attorney Tom Beall said “the men stockpiled a large cache of firearms, and ammunition.”

Beall said the men planned to park vehicles full of explosives at all four corners of the Garden City apartment complex. The men said they wanted to “wake people up”.

Beall said the men wrote a manifesto, which they wanted published after the bombing.

According to an affidavit, the were a part of a group called the Kansas Security Force and the Crusaders.

“These are militia groups whose members support and espouse sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs,” read the affidavit.

The three men had planned to carry out the attack on November 9th, one day after Election Day.

And as it turns out, Curtis Allen is a supporter of Donald Trump and his Facebook page is full of anti-Muslim rhetoric.

“I personally back Donald Trump,” an unhinged Allen wrote in a post ranting about how Hillary Clinton is supposedly going to put Americans in FEMA camps and take all guns away.

a lot of stupid people think black or brown people are killing cops. It's like food stamps and obamacare and other such myths. They don't put much thought into it. Cops are more likely to be killed in secluded rural areas or while they are caught by surprise during lunch like when Jerad and Amanda Miller shot those 2 cops in Vegas.

White men killed more American police than any other group this year, but conservatives won't address the facts

To be fair - Anders Breivik is "our" problem - and is currently in prison, and will more than possible stay there for the rest of his life, even if the maximum prison time in Norway is just 21 years - but he can be held under protective custody to a later date, as long as the community is in danger or he is a danger to himself.. And at look at it, it will be along time before Anders Breivik would not be a danger to himself or others...

but the desire to kill lots of people is everyone's problem and a lot of mass shooting are done by Americans which inspires people to copy it.

I'm glad Breivik is in prison where he can think about what he did for 21 years. Timothy McVeigh only lasted 6 years in prison by comparison. He hated his life so much he literally begged for the death penalty.

The US is a lot more violent country than Norway, that is for sure - and somehow I doubt anything like the many mass shootings in the US would have been possible in Norway - one, because we are a little less violent - and also because we generally speaking have a whole different idea about gun laws.. Firearms is a privilege you earn the right to have, by strict guidelines, and laws, and also training, you need to be member of a gun club for at least 6 mounts - and to have a comprehensive understanding of firearms - and to pass a background check who takes more than 3 days to complete..

And then you need a specially purpose made cabinet to have your firearm in - and I suspect that a lot of different firearms that is to sale in the US, is not even legal to own in Norway..

Breivik is indeed in prison, and will be there for a long time - but I suspect he can be a difficult man to make understand what he have been doing.. For the last 5 years have he been a "difficult prisoner" as a superintend said it in one of our national newspapers a year ago.. But at least he will be kept where he is now - for the next 18 years - and then more than possible be arraigned in court to be kept in custody for 5 years, and then re arraigned in court for another 5 years, until such time he is not a danger to himself, or to anyone else... I suspect he is one of the very few in Norway, who will die in prison, or under control of the correctional system in one way or another
