I'm going to stop you here.
That way you don't have to reply to the substance.
That's about right, right?
No, that was just typical conservoprogressive twaddle.

Ah, we have finally found a definitive authority on who is and isn't Antifa. You have to get your membership card from Zipr.
my 2018 FB feed said:Hitler’s Holocaust Started With Death Of One Journalist In 1932. Hitler Called Journalists “The Lying Press”. President Trump Has Called Journalists “The Lying Press” and “Enemies of the People”
2 Weeks Ago An American Journalist Had His Fingers Cut Off One By One, Then His Arms Were Cut Off, Then His Legs. All While He Was Alive. His Head Was Then Cut Off By Saudi Killers Wearing Headphones Who Listened to Music While They Butchered Him
President Trump Said: “Not An American Citizen, None Of Our Business” and “Saudi Prince Denied It Strongly. He is Innocent”.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The attorney for one of six men indicted in a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Friday, Aug. 13 that an FBI special agent told an informant to lie and to delete text messages between them.
Attorney Michael Hills, representing Brandon Caserta, asked a federal judge to order the government provide all communications between a paid informant, identified only as “Dan,” and the FBI.
That's crazy!! We don't even know if he was even born!! You just know that birth certificate he showed was a fake and I heard Donald Trump say that he has agents in Hawaii digging up amazing things!!!Did you hear that Obama had a birthday party?! And that's not all. He does it once every fucking year.
Since we inexplicably have thread necro going on, it might be a good time to point out the heavy FBI involvement in making this almost happen. Once again the FBI saved us from an FBI plot.

ug 25 (Reuters) - A man who pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor received a sentence of just over six years in prison on Wednesday, after he also agreed to testify against fellow extremists in the "Wolverine Watchmen" militia who have been accused in the conspiracy.
Ty Garbin, 25, was the first to be convicted of scheming to abduct Gretchen Whitmer, the state's first-term Democratic governor, from her vacation home last summer. Since the FBI said it uncovered the conspiracy by members of a militia group, more than a dozen men have been charged in state or federal court.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker in Grand Rapids handed down the sentence of 75 months Wednesday afternoon. Prosecutors had sought a nine-year prison sentence for Garbin, who cooperated with the government.

2 men are acquitted in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer; hung jury on 2 more
Two of four men were acquitted Friday in a conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, motivated by fury at the Democrat's tough COVID-19 restrictions early in the pandemic.www.npr.org
This case seems to be too close to entrapment to get convictions. The guy who pled guilty may be regretting it now.
Yeah, I remember a whole bunch of those weekend warriors amassing on the US Capitol Bldg one day.article said:Defense attorneys portrayed their clients as credulous weekend warriors prone to big, wild talk, who were often stoned. They said FBI undercover agents and informants tricked and cajoled the men into agreeing to a conspiracy.
And, unfortunately, all too often the FBI goes too far in inciting the crime. They take real but unfocused hatred and direct it--and tend to go too far.2 men are acquitted in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer; hung jury on 2 more

The defense in these cases is always going to be FBI incitement. And the prosecution is always going to be that these people wanted to commit this crime.
This^^^^No amount of "encouragement" from anyone could make me strap on an AR-15, start making homemade bombs, and actively plan to kidnap the governor or my (or any) state, ever, for any reason.
They ended up convicting a couple of them on serious charges.
Two ringleaders convicted on Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy charges
The decision comes four months after a trial that ended with no convictions and the acquittal of two men accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Whitmer.www.detroitnews.com
Yeah. The cops often do try to encourage people to turn abstract plans into concrete ones so they can make the bust but when someone steps way over the line I don't care. Now, there are some very problematic cases--they've taken to making a scene in leaving bait cars so the criminals clearly know the car is stealable--but all too often setting up situations where good samaritans hop in to move the car out of the way.I love that these clowns are crying "entrapment," insinuating they'd have never entertained these shenanigans left to their own devices, but rather were roped into it by teh evil authorities who planted these ideas in their heads, and encouraged them.
Stupid fucks.
