The OT was way ahead of the MSN that night on the suspects.

I was glued to that thread on here for that. Didn't get much work done during that time.

The literal definition of a "False-Flag" event. To be clear, though, I don't believe this is a conspiracy. Jist shows how everyone rallies around the flag when something "bad" happens. The 3 letter agencies are up to something nefarious EVERY DAY

Half of Dems would openly support the terrorist. The other half would say “terrorist has a point but maybe he just took it too far.”

Awful take. Read the militarization of police by Radley Balko. Civil asset forfeiture is the foundation for that practice.

I'd much rather my local police force have this stuff than just our military. At some point we will need access to these types of machines to push back against federal government tyranny. We're not going to be able to get it from the feds.

Civil asset forfeiture is an entirely different thing altogether.

Naw. They flip flop, like the people who were for the Iraq War/Patriot Act in the mid-00s who were "small government conservatives" in the early 2010s during the Tea Party, who then supported fedgov in the late 2010s, who now claim to be against big fedgov.

Flip floppers who follow trends who have no personal values.

IRONY ALERT

Predictably, your lazy, anti-intellectual, 2D-thinking ilk always tend to lump all "conservative" into one "Deplorables Basket".

THE FACT: "Conservatives" can NOT be characterized as being one Monolithic group[/b] (much as are Progs, Dems, Commies, Gr00mers)

You clearly misunderstand the dynamics of HOW conservatives actually processed the Iraq War/ Pat Act information, or WHO "Small Gubmint Conservatives (like the much maligned-by-your-ilk Tea Party). Feral Overreach from 9II onward has been sussed out at various stages by various "conservatives"

And btw, ALL "flip-floppers" are to be commended in that THEY[i] change they mind after examining the evidence and process info.

Conservatives are 180 degrees unlike un-principled Prog-Socialist-Dem-Rat ideologues. Rats are 99% incapable of "flip-flopping" because they are totally and completely brainwashed and broken, UNABLE to process ANY of reality's new info that might break their spell of programming, changing their (alleged) mind.

(Does the latter sound a bit like you?)

They made a movie about it called Patriot's day. Pretty good too.

It was a good action-packed script and story -- I'll give you that.

It was also pure fiction.

The cordon and search of neighborhoods in the United States of America, where police pointed guns at people who were standing on their own front porch. Very Constitutional. Good times.

And then, of course, the guy was located by - yep, you guessed it - not the police, but a citizen.

Can't make it up.

The way you type makes me want to kick puppies. Reading your "babble" is painful, not always due to what you say [(But Usually)], but more how you type it......like a twelve-year-old girl.
