If the FBI has Muslim communities riddled with informants but they don't catch the guy who REALLY WILL kill 50, what purpose do they serve?

Were FBI's informants too focused on Mateen's consumption of Islamic culture and not on his homophobic self-hate?

what are they supposed to do if they conclude someone is unstable but no coherent terror ideology

So why did FBI's typical method NOT work with the guy who WAS going to be a terrorist, when it does w/those who otherwise won't?

i don't know if it was a sting or what. or maybe timing off. in 2013-2014 was new dad. maybe in better place

Right. I suggest that it maybe didn't work bc his marriage declined since. But we still deserve to know.

that makes sense. sobering and saddening, and not sure they were wrong to close the case

I'm not saying they were, at all. I'm saying I want to know whether their chosen method of pursuing terror threats doesn't work.
