Are you serious? Is this the first FBI operation you have ever read about? The first news article?
www.chicagobreakingnews.com...
www.kptv.com...
The judicial saga of men who came to be known as "The Liberty Six" reached what may be the beginning of the end today. After two mistrials, and a total bill that cost taxpayers over $10 million, five of the men were convicted. Another was acquitted.
Why does the FBI orchestrate fake terror plots?
The latest one snared Osman Mohamud, a Somali-American teenager in Portland, Oregon. The Associated Press report by William Mall and Nedra Pickler (11-27-10) is headlined in Yahoo News: "Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Oregon."
This is a misleading headline as the report makes it clear that it was a plot orchestrated by federal agents. Two sentencesinto the news report we have this: "The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the [FBI] agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said."
The teenager was supplied with a fake bomb and a fake detonator.
Three sentences later the reporters contradict the quoted authorities with a quote from Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon: "The threat was very real."
The reporters then contradict Balizan: "White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said Saturday that president Barack Obama was aware of the FBI operation before Friday's arrest. Shapiro said Obama was assured that the FBI was in full control of the operation and that the public was not in danger."
Then Shapiro contradicts himself by declaring: "The events of the past 24 hours underscore the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism here and abroad."

You aren't even trying to use logic. I didn't say they (gangsters) never have (even though you should provide proof they have tried for no reason) I'm saying, especially with gangsters, they would have no motivation. They aren't driven by the radical side of a religion, they don't want to ruin their lives. They are about business. Skinheads usually deal in small assaults and occasionally murder, but honestly aren't that big of a problem in the U.S. I haven't heard of a much skinhead activity..well ever really. BUT if they were trying to do something like this and the FBI got wind of it they would do the same thing that they did in this case, or in the assassination cases where they pose as hitmen.
If they found out a gangster, for whatever reason (it would be beyond me), wanted to bomb a police station do you not think they would go to these same lengths to stop it? OF COURSE THEY WOULD!
Also.. they didn't talk this kid into being a radical and trying to do stuff like this, that was the path he had chosen he was just stupid. They wouldn't just randomly try to get a homeless guy to commit a crime. That would make them terrorists. That isn't even a smidge similar to this. They weren't trying to get to the kid to commit a crime. The homeless guy thing blew my mind. I'm sorry to sound like a jerk, but I don't know if you are capable to see the difference. If you were you wouldn't have made that homeless man statement, or at least could understand why it's just ridiculous.edit on 30-11-2010 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
Five members of a Chicago street gang conspired to "blow up" a West Side police station with a rocket launcher they intended to purchase from undercover agents, according to a federal indictment released Thursday.
The FBI seeks out individuals who yield incredible amounts of evidence pointing to a deep desire to commit a "terrorist" attack.

OMG.. you really don't get it.
I gave you two cases of the FBI being involved in these kinds of operations. The targets weren't Muslim.
When it involves plots like this to blow up random people for no reason yeah it's usually Muslims, because guess what no other radical groups in America do that.
And yeah, they would set you up the same way probably. Not just by saying it, but if you were actively seeking someone to help you in coming up with a terrorist plan and the FBI got wind of it they would do the same thing to anyone. They would do the exact same thing to anyone no matter what the race or religion if they found out about it.

What is the difference between this case and the Somali one? The Somali boy was given everything, including the money, the planing and encouragement, and FBI is accused of manipulating the kid.
The above case, the Gangsters mistakenly tried to purchase the equipment from undercover agents.

Dude... I'm sorry you just proved my point.
Gangsters intended to blow up a police station, but were busted because they "mistakenly tried to purchase the equipment from undercover agents."
Thank you! Thank you! That is the perfect example of FBI (the undercover agents) setting up gangsters (not Muslims) with weapons for a plan. I told you they would do it just the same for gangsters.
You completely proved my point, were you trying to do that?

No the intervened the kid was already planning it and even bought bomb parts himself and sent them to the FBI agents because he thought they were radicals that could build the bomb for him.
From the article:
"The FBI affidavit that outlined the investigation alleges that Mohamud planned the attack for months, at one point mailing bomb components to FBI operatives, whom he believed were assembling the device."
www.npr.org...
This case is just another in a line of terror fabrication and entrapment practices by US law enforcement, argued Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan administration official.
“The FBI recruited the guy, made the bomb and gave him the fake detonator. He obviously was not a terrorist since he didn’t know how to make a bomb and didn’t know how to recognize a face bomb,” said Roberts. “Allegedly, we have real terrorists. But, we don’t ever catch any of them. We only catch ones the FBI has to recruit.”
