#1 So it appears they didn't actually do anything beyond a vague conspiracy.

But they will still go down big time. Cos the powers that be need this.

#2 The men are members of a small militia group that calls itself “the Crusaders,” and whose members espouse sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs, according to the complaint.

I've got news for you... Those are not extremist beliefs. If the FBI can't prove intent, well then....

#3 Kansas was it? A historical coincidence indeed.

#4 The timing of this case stinks. The important thing is that tape that the media will incessantly play for the next month. They don't actually need a conviction to drag Hillary across the finish line.

BTW, did the FBI have a guy on the inside? Maybe making helpful suggestions?

#5 For the record, every ethnic group out here hates the Somalis. They are an arrogant, rude culture with absolutely no connection with any other ethos.

The criminals don't like them because they are competition, the illegals don't like them because they take their jobs, the legals don't like them because they are lazy and incompetent, the blacks don't like them because they hate the American black, the whites don't like them because they camp out at popular businesses as a general nuisance, the Chinese and Laotians are treated as total inferiors.

It isn't xenophobia or whatever, it is at least 5 years of data points. People have changed their shopping habits, marketing will tell you this is a big deal. Hell, I don't think the Somalis like it either, if the Somalis have ever been happy about anything.

No, I do not condone this charge. I am pointing out that all the other groups, including the Asians (above mentioned plus Thais and Phillipinos) have at least a starting point for interactions. Even the most reluctant of English/Spanish speakers has learned enough of the other's language to at least sign language through an interaction. They all know how to cue for a line. Know how to drive. Work hard.

Use of a "confidential source" (as mentioned in the article, by the way) is a 'usual' modus operandi.

#7 Where does the "confidential source" end, and the "Agent provocateur" begin?

#10 Following Shabelle and Garowe Online as I do, at this point I'd be pleased as punch if we'd put a fence and a moat (yes, with alligators and sharks with fricking lasers on their foreheads) around Somalia and leave the sad place to its own devices. The one rule being: nobody escapes. Not even to Yemen.

I had some sympathy for them in 1992 when GHWB put the Marines in there for a humanitarian mission. Good idea, I thought, we can help that part of the world and it will be to our benefit. 24 years later and my sympathy meter reads zero to six decimal places. The Somalis aren't grateful and don't appreciate what the world has tried to do to help (as foolish as the UN can be and as self-serving as ANISOM clearly is). The refugees here in the US? Well, as swksvolFF points out, they aren't exactly seizing the opportunity, are they.

I'm pretty much done with them. Send the refugees back home. Let them all chew qat. Let them all brutalize each other. They don't like us? Good, that makes us even.

#12 Let them chew qat.

Heh, gotta love a turn of a phrase.

#13 " Where does the "confidential source" end, and the "Agent provocateur" begin?"

Indeed. It feels like we are repeating the Nixon era. Only this time the courts and the media approve.

On a separate note:
I fear the unrestrained importation of Muslim immigrants. However I am truly shocked at how well behaved our Lewiston Maine Somalis are. The women that I've talked to speak flawless English and typically wear a colorful headscarf of convection. The biggest hazard is their driving: At a 4-way intersection a Somali woman will always yield no matter what.
