@FreiherrBraun This guy's profile is just like that of most Muslim kids caught in stings by FBI except they don't make weapons themselves.

@emptywheel Even with the laundry list of over acts and clear intent to support terror/ engage in violence, still a fantasy created by FBI -
@FreiherrBraun The "laundry list" usu comes over months of engagement w/UC pushing depressed kids in that direction. That's my point. -
@emptywheel Oh, I know... I see those indictments... -
@FreiherrBraun Right--and that's the only reason I'm focusing on this guy--a good counter-example. -
@emptywheel but the facts and context don't bear the counter example. So youre left with hyperbole and adding race into it. Weak sauce. -
@FreiherrBraun Huh? How? If the FBI threw informants at those piggybacking off breaking bad, this kid'd be in big trouble. -
@emptywheel he was a depressed kid who turned himself in. That's different from trolling internet looking for al Qaeda. -
@FreiherrBraun He didn't turn himself in. He talked to a friend. Just like every single Muslim caught in sting. You're making up facts. - 2 more replies

@emptywheel You don't know that, and it's a big jump, since the kid self reported what he did. Just as likely a suicide gesture. -
@FreiherrBraun He talked to a friend. Difference being if he were Muslim that "friend" would be undercover, pushing him further.

@emptywheel I'll agree the FBI stings are fishy. No real ability to be a threat has been something that I don't like about those cases...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
