I think they really stretched out this whole "though police"'angle they went for

The dude took active fricking steps with real people to try to kidnap these girls. That's not fiction anymore. Unbelievable

I agree. When terrorists are caught before committing the act, nobody calls it a thought crime, they call it a criminal conspiracy. Should they have just sat on their hands until he killed someone? He was clearly in the active planning stage. He's a sick frick and his mom seems mentally ill as well.

It made my skin crawl to see the defense team smiling ear to ear whenever he got the conviction overturned.

How can a judge overturn a verdict on evidence anyway? that's the whole point of a trial, no? It's one thing if something was done to compromise the fairness of the trial or evidence was in admissible or something, but just letting a judge throw out a verdict based on his own thoughts on the case just seems wrong to me.

I just don't get this at all. He didn't build a single thing he needed (and claimed he had built to the people online). He let every planned date go by without doing anything. When terrorists do stuff, there is usually plenty of actual evidence. There was no physical evidence in this case. He had not begun the process of actually committing the crimes. He hadn't even bought masking tape.

Literally the only thing in his checklist he had was his car, which he obviously had the whole time. I think it is very important to not that he was lying about being ready online because that means just about everything else he said was a lie. People lie all of the time on the internet. Usually, they aren't hoping you think they are lying though.

I absolutely agree that he is a very sick human being, and I think his mom should be more worried (but to be fair, she may just be acting strong for cameras because his case is still very criticized).
