If he turns out to be another mentally ill democrat, kiss this story goodbye.

They are just trying to distract us from Benghazi and Boston. They will get help from the MSM. Feeds the gun-control and “bitter clingers are the real terrorists” narratives.

ONLY 25%??? The last time I flew through there you’d be hard pressed to find your typical white person. It’s been like that for years. Scary thought what that many could do in an airport that large..

DFW has Muslims all over the place too. See Muslim women in scarves manning the gates even!! Very disconcerting to say the least.

Not too many Somali named Buford Rogers.

He was probably conspiring to have too big a 4th of July party.

What the heck is a “localized terror attack”? A feud with your next door neighbor?

And what are “suspected pipe bombs”? Some rusty plumbing parts lying in a heap under the house trailer?

And do you suppose this dufus actually had completed Molotov cocktails lying around, you know, crates of Coke bottles full of gasoline with rags sticking out the tops? Or maybe the “cocktails” consisted of a pile of old Coke bottles and some dirty clothes under the trailer along with a gas can for the lawn mower?

Odd that he was only charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm if he was an actual terrorist with bombs and Molotov cocktails and such.

...Molotov cocktails, suspected pipe bombs and firearms...

Who doesn't have gasoline and bottles at their house?

Suspected pip bombs? Pipes and gunpowder?

Firearms? So?

Nothing is said about disovering a communication network hub, aka a computer and telephone.

Hard to tell if this is anything beyond a federal drag net.

I think it’s possible he was planning on trying to rob a bank or something, but that’s not “terrorism,” even “localized terrorism,” whatever that may be. Anything is possible, but this guy seems to be a loser career criminal more than anything else.

Obama and Co. Are trying to blur the lines. Terrorism is an act of violence meant to achieve political or ideological ends. Crime is simply meant to get something for the criminal.

Fort Hood and other such attacks, which Obama and Holder refer to as workplace violence, crime, etc. actually ARE terrorism. Somebody carrying out a crime, even one where he uses pipe bombs, etc., or even when he is mentally ill (Columbine, Denver, the Giffords shooting and a host of others) is not terrorism.

Under Obama it's a "terrorist attack" when it's thwarted but "domestic violence" or a "protest" gone violent when it's successfully carried out.

If this "terror attack" was not thwarted you think today they'd be calling it a "terror attack"?

Seriously, answer my question. Do you consider your previous reply to be witty, clever, humorous or just what? Just curious. Calling Islamofascists, Amish is...

I know people who live in Monte. This guy was probably going to drink to excess and blow up an old car. He would have been smart to have not left such a menacing presence on Facebook.

Just another internet idiot.
