...Do we know why they stole explosives?...

Ummm...to blow something up?

[Napoleon Solo]

Nice to know that they seem to be home grown evil doers!

[crz]

If we knew why we wouldnt need the investigation would we now?

All we would need to do is find them.

[mtbopfuyn]

Do we know why they stole explosives?

No, and we never will. Wasn't there another guy they were looking for?

[mlc9852]

Maybe sell the explosives to suicide bombers?

[don-o]

Gosh. Hope nobody got spied on.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Drug addicts.

[Concho]

That is all oil field and mining in that area. Always some sleaze company looking for a bargain buy. They would have no problem reselling the bang for folding cash.

"Nice to know that they seem to be home grown evil doers!"

That's hard to tell these days. They could be converts to the ROP for all we know. You can be sure the media wouldn't report if there was a connection, much like they kept quiet about the motives behind the father and son sniper team. Or, they could just be regular run of the mill opportunistic thieves looking to make an extra buck. Maybe it will come out at their trial.

There was a thread some time back with a link to a list of convicted murderers with the middle name Wayne. Does anybody here still have it?

Loserdopian: "EVIL JACKBOOTED GOVERNMENT THUGS!!! Who the hell do they think they are!?! This is America!"

GIVE ME LICENSE OR GIVE ME DEATH!

EEYAAHHHHH!!!

[SkyPilot]

So, has the ATF moved on from targeting Americans who visit gun shows to buy a handgun with a clip holding 17+ rounds, to real terrorists who are a threat to our nation?

We would hope so.

"Oh, look! A citizen over there bought a shotgun!"

[txhurl]

You have the best explanation so far.

[weegee]

Maybe they wanted to commit suicide, like that student in Oklahoma. No "threat" just more than enough to do the job. < /sarcasm >

[weegee]

Perhaps but you'd think that explosives would be tracked. Buy blackmarket goods and you open yourself up to ATF investigation. Don't they need to indicate where they got it from as well as noting where they used it?

When did a ski-mask become part of the police uniform in the U.S?

When did a ski-mask become part of the police uniform in the U.S?

I believe during the Reno-Clinton years.
