    I’m waiting to find out that an FBI informant put him onto it like pretty much every ‘foiled terrorist plot’ in the last 2 decades.

    Edit:

    After the two advertised the sale of personal property on Facebook last month, the FBI enlisted an informant to respond to the offer and strike up a relationship. The informant later invited them to a gun range, where they ordered weapons from an undercover FBI official.

    Yeah, definitely don’t look too hard into the role of that ‘informant’.

        It’s not a sting if you’re the one that convinces them to do the crime.

          From another source I read that they were ISIS and had constructed a plan and had admitted to it. They got caught. Sorry if you’re sad.
