1. the fbi had to hype it's own terrorism extravaganza and lead a 19 year old guy

into something spectacular they could take to the airwaves with -- who would have thought something negative like this would happen?

and what about setting up a 19 year old tea bagging militia type?
they probably wouldn't have to work half as hard -- and he'd have his own explosives.

3. Amazing isn't it

The only thing worse is the coverage - even the hacks are confused about how to report it. The FBI encouraged a stupid young man with no contacts to bomb a Christmas Tree lighting with their fake bomb and then says no one was going to be hurt. This planet is full of seriously depraved human beings. Merry FEARmas.

5. it's infuriating.

and if you've been around as long as i have -- the fbi seems to indulge in this sensationalism in cycles.

2. Really, I just read that police had a cruiser out front to prevent any violence or retaliation. nt
