Hey, they orchestrated an attack, found a kid, talked him into it, gave him all the plans and supplies then arrested him. Way to go…
Reading the article doesn’t sound like it, allegedly.
His pledge of allegiance to ISIS was sent to the informant (FBI agent), and the FBI was the ones that arranged for all the weapons
It definitely sounds like the FBI groomed a terrorist, planned the attack, then provided him weapons. Gives them a great win just before the election, with all the demographics they wanted
Oh so they just groomed him for 2 years and have him a gun
Reading the article also doesn’t sound like that, allegedly.
This isn’t an article. It’s a DOJ press release. I now have a collection of facts whose veracity I doubt, because the DOJ under the current administration has shown a willingness to lie brazenly to advance its agenda.
I bet they also groomed him to do it too.
Disagree. The guy of his own volition made a video swearing loyalty to ISIS and said he wanted to travel to the Middle East for training to become a terrorist. What the hell are you supposed to do with that? Just smile and nod and wish him luck? Write him off like ‘posting videos isnt criminal no threat to society here’? Give me a break.
They did exactly what they should have done here. They kept in contact, evaluated the threat, gave him a chance to prove he was a real threat, and when he did actually commit a crime they took him down. Now he will be in jail where he can’t hurt anyone.
beginning in or about December 2024, Mohamud exchanged hundreds of messages through multiple social media and messaging applications with a confidential source.
I like the part in the thumbnail of the chat where he’s telling them that he made the video.
To me I read this as if the confidential source told him to make the video to prove he was serious and provide the video to them. Which to me is exactly the sort of thing the FBI would do when they want to orchestrate evidence to push the case they’re building.
If I’m right, the only terrorist they stopped is one of their own making. This feels like those videos of people entrapping pedophiles.
Of course neither you or I can prove one way or another with the current information, which to me seems by design. You can prove he made a video. You can’t prove he did it of his own volition.
Is he mentally unwell? Possibly. He could be some stupid 18 yr old edge lord. Or he could really wanna do what he was plotting. But you’ll never be able to determine it 100% without seeing to what extent the FBI communicated with him.
You can’t prove he did it of his own volition.
Unprompted I can’t prove. But nobody held a gun to his head and ordered him to make the video. Nobody ordered him to say he wanted to kill innocents.
Maybe he’s just a moron. I can’t prove that either way. But the FBI can prove he was moronic enough to think that shooting up a mall is a great idea. Are you saying we should let him go?
He could be some stupid 18 yr old edge lord. Or he could really wanna do what he was plotting. But you’ll never be able to determine it 100% without seeing to what extent the FBI communicated with him.
And won’t that be presented in court?
Nobody ordered him to say he wanted to kill innocents
Other than the agent grooming him, you know, the one he sent the video to.
All Republicans must die
That’s a pretty fucked up thing to say
No its not.
Maybe don’t sell assault rifles to teens…
What do you mean don’t sell assault rifles to teens? How else would the FBI generate public animosity against their political enemiy du jour without selling high powered weaponry to them and saying “Go, do crime.”?
