    Tawhedi’s arrest comes amid rising concerns about the potential for political violence surrounding next month’s election.

    Political violence (from the right) is assured. It’s just a shame that we also have to be on the look out for violence from outside forces. Life is awesome, right?

    Waiting for people to call him a hero and a resistance fighter.

      I’m waiting to find out that an FBI informant put him onto it like pretty much every ‘foiled terrorist plot’ in the last 2 decades.

      Edit:

      After the two advertised the sale of personal property on Facebook last month, the FBI enlisted an informant to respond to the offer and strike up a relationship. The informant later invited them to a gun range, where they ordered weapons from an undercover FBI official.

      Yeah, definitely don’t look too hard into the role of that ‘informant’.

        Dats the way it works. The FBI loves their stings.

            From another source I read that they were ISIS and had constructed a plan and had admitted to it. They got caught. Sorry if you’re sad.
