Had the conspirators been right-wingers instead of OWS anarchists, the article would have praised the patriotic cooperation of Azir and downplayed his criminal record.
well, AZIZ won’t be undercover anymore now, will he?
dead man walking
As long as there are “sources” willing to work their own sentences down, there will never be a shortage of indictments of groups.
Plus you think that Azir had any qualms about giving up these crazy white boys?

Democrats (anarchists) only associate with other criminals, so you bate the hook with what it takes to catch them.
I don’t care, I’m still going to be dropping references to the “Occupy terrorists” every chance I get. I just like the sound of it.
C4 = silly putty [in this case]
Coerce?
The morons dangled themselves out there like fed bait and willingly did things they believed would kill people at random.
Compare them to the Hutaree who just wanted to be left alone and never bought fake explosives or illegal weapons. The most the feds got out of them was a bull session in the woods which the judge ruled to be no crime.
Why did they make his identity public? Seems really odd.
If Obama had a son, that’s what he’d look like.
Shaquille Azir sounds Muslim to me. Nothing in the record says he is, but, think about it. You’re looking for explosives, you’re a wannabe anarchist, and a muslim sounding guy says he has access to C4.
The scary thing is that a real terrorist doesn’t need to pull his own event in the US. He just needs to frequent Occupy events, find the disgruntled and stupid, and supply them with materiel.
To be found guilty, you have to have the Means and Method to be able to carry out the crime you're accused of doing/plotting. And these anarchists didn't have either until this FBI Informant came along and gave them the money (FBI Money) to buy the explosives - aka: The Means - and then find a supplier (the FBI) of the C4 for them - aka: The Methods.
Ergo, until this guy came along (acting for the FBI), this little group were just a bunch of blow-hards spouting off the typical anarchist bull___.
Caveat: I'm not an attorney but I have played one in court.
