Don't you question the assumption that these were legitimate Occupy protesters? lunatica May 2012 #10

What kind of mush-headed moron can be "entrapped" into plotting mass-murder? Nuclear Unicorn May 2012 #7

Entrapment is usually a process of inducement that involves the provocateur taking over a group and leveymg May 2012 #9

That reads as a personal attack. Please self-delete. leveymg May 2012 #34

"Clean the gene pool" to which I responded is a dog whistle for genocide\eugenics. I'll risk the coalition_unwilling May 2012 #37

What do you call the natural darwin awards that happen every day? snooper2 May 2012 #40

Get a grip. It's not a dog whistle for eugenics. Nuclear Unicorn May 2012 #78

There are a number of problems w/DHS and agency "stings" against political groups that go beyond any leveymg May 2012 #18

All of which sheds no light on the OP. randome May 2012 #19

We don't even know whose idea it was to make molotovs. That's the only overt criminal act leveymg May 2012 #22

There was much more than Molotov cocktails involved. randome May 2012 #26

No. Read the charging document pp2-3 that describes the act. They poured gas into beer bottles, leveymg May 2012 #33

They were collecting weapons, too. Like Ninja throwing stars. randome May 2012 #35

Possessing Ninja throwing stars isn't exactly overt proof of "terrorism" either. leveymg May 2012 #46

Careful. You're going to run afoul of the 2nd Amendment....... socialist_n_TN May 2012 #65

Peaceful protesters pour gas into containers and stuff rags into them Nuclear Unicorn May 2012 #32

Never said that was a protected activity. My beef is with inducement to the act, and the charges leveymg May 2012 #42

McCarthy was nothing compared to Palmer. bemildred May 2012 #53

You're not going to see any such evidence, the 'proof' is the FBI's sordid past it seems n/t Bodhi BloodWave May 2012 #47

I know. And I have no problem whatsoever in believing that power corrupts. randome May 2012 #48

Nobody said the FBI is ALWAYS in the wrong so build your straw houses a little more carefully TBF May 2012 #49

I don't know specifically what you're reading - TBF May 2012 #56

This is simple to answer......... socialist_n_TN May 2012 #64

There is another thread on DU today talking about another action they took, nothing to do with OWS sabrina 1 May 2012 #67

I agree. That sounds much more like entrapment. randome May 2012 #69

I don't see anyone claiming them. What I see is a perfectly legitimate demand sabrina 1 May 2012 #70

What constitutes evidence to you? randome May 2012 #71

Lol, well, put it this way, a lot more than the FBI saying so. sabrina 1 May 2012 #75
