Terrorists these days... They just don't make them like they used to.
Multiple of these stories within a few days and they turn themselves in before even trying anything. Something doesn't add up about these stories.
Edit: it honestly feels like they are laying the groundwork to suspend/call martial law, or do something else extreme to remove barriers to doing stuff.
While they don’t say, this one seems to be liberal (from MA, some twisted concern for women’s rights). It may also be to turn the idea that it’s right wing extremists who are usually the terrorists
Agreed, however, the trump admin will do what they want anyway and nobody will stop them.
Anyway, can you believe the Democrats and their genocideds?
Molotov cocktails are an odd choice of weapon for a targeted assassination.
There were two of them, in airplane bottles. This was not a credible threat.
He also had a "750-milliliter bottle of 100-proof vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut off the sleeves" in his car.
Fucking pathetic "arsenal" if you're going to firebomb anything, really.
Airplane bottles? Like nips, those tiny ass liquor bottles?
50ml, yes.
I was going to say, he picked one of the clumsiest and most awkward weapons he could have chosen for the task at hand, as well as a weapon that would be most likely also injure him, and not actually kill the target. Like seriously that was the best you can do? Get creative you pussy. Or not, I mean shit, a chunk of sodium, some water, and a large and small glass bottle and some nails.
...finding two devices constructed of 50-milliliter vodka bottles with gray cloth affixed
I bet Hegseth's lunch contained more explosives than this guy was carrying
Boom.
Sure he said he was going to do those things and had weapons, but for all we know, he could be a “fine person, a great man” there to “peacefully protest” like those that got pardoned for Jan 6th. 😒
50 Milliliter?
What did he plan to kill? Ants?
Sounds like trump shenanigans to enable new dystopian shit
WHAT TIMELINE IS THIS?
