islamism should always be considered a crime against the US
If what Napolitano says is true, then this is very similar to Ruby Ridge.
If they find the guy was coerced by the govt, I agree with Napolitano. However, if they did not, and he thought he was blowing up people, but it just didn’t work, then I think he is guilty
Did he grow up in that environment or what?

I agree with him too! We need to stop interfering with terrorists trying to kill Americans. We need to be fair and allow them to kill as many Americans as they can before we try to bring them to trial.
Hate crime laws, like abortion and other things, were placed into law before the public knew what happened.
The ruling class has been sneaking around to do wrong for a long time.
I have always followed politics and the news; however, I was an adult before I realized that federal regulations out of the executive branch were ruling our lives without one vote from our representatives.
How do you have a case on attempting to blow something up? Seems to me that a “bomb” that can’t be blown up is enough to find a defendant guilty.
Sometimes the law has to be changed to keep up with the times.
For those of us not close to a TV, give us the short points, please. What’s he right about?
Entrapment is going after someone that would not otherwise commit the crime. Offering someone $1000 to leave a bag of crap on a doorstep is entrapment. Acting on a tip that someone is seeking a hit man by pretending to be a real hit man isn't entrapment. One creates a crime, the other allows it to proceed. Hiring a hit man is not a thought crime, it is an actual action.
Our little muzzie friend in Portland fits into the latter category.

We would be better off if we just stopped accepting muslims into the country.
I would guess you would also be one of the first ones to start screaming “why didn’t the FBI or cops do something about this guy when they found out he was trying to contact terrorists”....after he was successful with his terrorist plan.
Authorities need to follow through, even setting the individual up, to make the thousands of others just like him already in this country more reluctant to trust anyone telling them they can help them murder Americans. One of the best defenses to terrorism is convincing the would be terrorist he can’t trust anyone and that makes his terrorist attack plan all the harder to implement.
So with your ridiculous position; anyone using a firearm in a crime should just make sure it is empty; then they can claim they were just thinking of using it...
Sheese.
Go back to DU.
People don’t get prosecuted or convicted for what they merely think. If they commit no acts, they commit no crtime.
I saw it, I have to agree. Never liked these “sting” operations.
Napolitano is a hack. The government didn’t plant the seed. The terrorist wasn’t recruited. They did water the plant after the seed germinated. That’s not entrapment.They should have given him a real bomb and detonated it while he was in transit
I've long had some serious concerns about any kind of police "sting" operation like this -- where the government goes out and builds a case against a defendant based on a "Crime that Didn't Really Happen but Might Have Happened if the Undercover Police were Actually Terrorists Supplying This Guy with Weapons and Explosives" scenario.
