    Thanks for digging that up. The details in this article are a “refreshing” change from most of what we see when the FBI arrest a terror plot suspect. “Our agents befriended a quiet loner. They then cajoled, pushed, and prodded this reluctant teenager into making a bomb for them. QED, BITCHES!”

    Now I’m just waiting for Conservative d-bags (such as my parents) to start screaming about how we need to shut down the legal immigration too. The real kicker: they’re both immigrants.

      Well, you can see details if you look for better news sources.

      When you use words like conjoled, it’s obvious you have a preferred narrative. But, the fact of the matter is that the FBI is working a legal case. They aren’t persuading somebody to buy long guns. They’re just making it easy and possible. Criminals are dumb shits and go along with it.

      As to your parents, I can’t comment. But, I am surprised Trump hasn’t used this story yet.
