Oregon is a commie state. I live here, believe me. We have a very active criminal underground because the left is sympathetic to them, and the left runs Oregon.
Well, Allie, no one is keeping you here. If you feel that this state is so bad, why don't you go to one that you like?
The left runs Oregon? Well, we are more liberal than most states. But then, we have a higher percentage of educated people than most states.
I'm shocked. Throughout this site, and others, I've seen repeated posts from dedicated lefties whose only overriding opinion on the Portland incident is that the FBI was wrong somehow!!! That somehow the Muslim got an unfair deal or something.
Do you lefties know about gathering evidence? Lets say they arrested him earlier. When he was simply "conspiring" to do this, which is a weak charge that probably wouldn't have stuck.
What then? They have little evidence that the 1st amendment wouldn't protect. AND, his lawyer would get him off easy by saying "My client was led astray, BUT he never truly intended to go through with this plan."
NOW they have his attempt to follow through with it. A potential life sentence. And BARGAINING chips to get him to rat on any friends with similar intents.
Brilliant police work by the FBI.
I'm disappointed that the left is for some reason coming out against the FBI.
The folks in Portland are re-thinking their position on the war on terror, and looking for a face-saving venue...
"In 2005, leaders in Portland, Oregon, angry at the Bush administration's conduct of the war on terror, voted not to allow city law enforcement officers to participate in a key anti-terror initiative, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. On Friday, that task force helped prevent what could have been a horrific terrorist attack in Portland. Now city officials say they might re-think their participation in the task force -- because Barack Obama is in the White House. "

Case in point: see wingy's post.
Really telling is the statement by the perp, telling what fools the lefties are:
"According to the FBI affidavit, the undercover agents asked whether he worried that law enforcement would stop him. "In Portland?" Mohamud replied. "Not really. They don't see it as a place where anything will happen. People say, you know, why, anybody want to do something in Portland, you know, it's on the west coast, it's in Oregon, and Oregon's, like you know, nobody ever thinks about it."

Yes, uber-liberal Portland is the only city in the U.S. that won't cooperate with the FBI.
Then you obviously haven't been reading through the threads regarding this issue.I haven't seen any "lefties" blame the FBI. Only Conservatives....
The lefty's are friggin' nuts!
I did.
The only people I found who were blaming the FBI were Revere and Quantum (sorta). Neither are "lefties".
There are many civil libertarian types on both the left and right that oppose the Patriot Act. That is obviously what was employed here. The Daily Beast said that is both comforting and discomfitting (sp?). Personally, I think its working well. How many plots have been thwarted?
No. The patriot act didn't come into play here until after people who knew the kid reported him. Then they started monitoring him. they'd have been able to get a warrant anyway...
The problem here is the right is whining every time this administration does anything in regard to security. they're hypocrites and wouldn't have said boo if it were bush doing it.

It is because "we" are racists, ask your moonbat friends.

Yes, and the FBI giving kids fake bombs who could not otherwise get them is not "security."
Slow down. The FBI can't make fake bombs that fast. And now that the word is on the street, the next kid might want to see a real bomb.

The FBI got a tip from a bunch of his Muslim friends he was getting radical. That..and they saw him contacting people in the middle east.
I'd say they had enough to let the young man tie his own noose with..

Then why the drama with the fake bomb?
