    Australi Witness passed specific[22] information on the manufacture of a bomb targeting a September 11 memorial event in Kansas City, Missouri, to an FBI informant, who was posing as a Muslim extremist.

    We can’t say how much of this deal was set up by the government and how much was his initiative. If this was a Honeypot and they caught a mentally ill man from it the question is are they running similar set ups for other “extremist” groups. If they’re just targeting Islamic groups then that shows some racism.

      Not to mention they could have set up the trap for ANY of his personas and it would have worked the same. Creating fake crime just to put people in jail.

          Yeah, most of what the FBI does is entrapment. They use the dumbest excuses to get away with it.

          Truly the easiest job in the world, you invent crimes then arrest other people for them!
