Dunno, but am kind of curious how this “message” was intercepted” and how his “capability” was “confirmed.”
Blevins:"Alexa, I'm going to WalMart for a shopping spree. Notify me if I get any important phone calls".
Alexa: "You're going to WalMart for a shooting spree and it's important to notify authorities. Got it".
“Dunno, but am kind of curious how this “message” was intercepted” and how his “capability” was “confirmed.””
Don’t know either, but I suspect it was due to him having a big mouth...either on line, or bragging to the wrong ‘friend’.
I don't believe much on this 'policy' has changed in 6 years:
I think we all know...What today’s changes don’t do:
- The new policy isn’t law and doesn’t provide any remedy to people whose data is swept up by Stingrays operated without a warrant. Indeed, it won’t even act to keep evidence collected in violation of the policy out of court (this is known as suppression).
- The policy doesn’t apply to the use of Stingrays outside of the criminal investigation context. For instance, when federal agents use cell-site simulators for “national security” purposes, they won’t be required to obtain a warrant by the terms of this policy.
- There are two enumerated exceptions to the warrant requirement in today’s guidance. The first is the traditional “exigent circumstances” exception, common to all warrant requirements and not particularly worrisome. But the second exception listed in today’s policy for undefined “exceptional circumstances” is potentially problematic. We have no idea what that means, so we’re waiting to see if and how the exception will be used.
If you made me bet he made the threat on Facebook, someone reported it. His Facebook probably features pictures of him and his guns and maybe even more brags about his plans.
Th3 capabi.ity part would be that he had anything over a .177 pellet air gun, if he had 2, then by golly he’d be confirmed as capable
They (through parole officer) were talking to him and watching him:
“Mr. Blevins is currently on active felony probation and is prohibited from possessing firearms,”

Most likely one of his new "friends" was a part-time FBI informant, or possibly an undercover agent.
On the far edge of paranoid conspiracy theory; there could have been a "handler", grooming this moron for an active mission. One which would have been heroically intercepted by FBI Agents and their local minions in the Flyover Police Department. Congratulations and promotions all around. Oh, and let's have some more funding for our department please.
No. That would never happen now, would it?
Same here... So the FBI was already aware of him but didn’t do anything? And how and why were the locals already tapping his stuff?
Something doesn’t smell right, sounds like a setup...
He got the jab and now the NSA can hear the voices in his head.
