Some remarkable statistics in a new report from Human Rights Watch and Columbia Law School's Human Rights Institute:
And then there's 'The Sting 2,' starring Jackie Gleason. All I remember about it is that it included a scene on a roller coaster. All of the high-profile domestic terrorism plots of the last decade, with four exceptions, were actually FBI sting operationsplots conducted with the direct involvement of law enforcement informants or agents, including plots that were proposed or led by informants. According to multiple studies, nearly 50 percent of the more than 500 federal counterterrorism convictions resulted from informant-based cases; almost 30 percent of those cases were sting operations in which the informant played an active role in the underlying plot.
The four exceptions are the Boston Marathon bombing, an attempted car bombing at Times Square, a plan to bomb the New York subways, and a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport. (The last of those took place in 2002, so it isn't really "of the last decade.")

No, the FBI agents set up the plot, get people of questionable mental health to agree to take part, then arrest them.
And with the dead-soul Brennan running Spook U. the bloodiness will rise in the coming months. Evil now struts in America
Right now the Obama adm and his allies on the left are ginning up civil unrest with whites, blacks, and Hispanics.
Beginning in 1993 each and every major terrorist attack, attempted attack, or threat of attack was preceded by “spontaneous” protest ginned up by the left.
All are exactly like Benghazi which they tried to convince us was “spontaneous” protest followed by “spontaneous” terrorist attack.
I don’t expect anything different this time.
Nothing with a political agenda is spontaneous.
The first “spontaneous” protest followed by a “spontaneous” terrorist attack was the 1992 LA race riots followed by the 1993 1st WTC bombing.
The dems claimed the LA riots were a “spontaneous” response to the not guilty verdict of the LA police who beat R King and the 1st WTC bombing was a “spontaneous” response to Bush sending troops into Somalia.
Neither of which were “spontaneous”.
The LA riots were planned and the planning for the 1st WTC bombing is traced back to 1991 about the same time as the R King video and well over a year before Bush sent troops into Somalia at the urging of the dems.
Amazing how the dems. were so lucky in creating a talking point to blame Bush for the 1st WTC bombing before the bombing had taken place.
