Sometimes this site makes no sense. Sometimes it's pro law enforcement, sometimes it's Antifa-like in its disdain for cops.
This guy was an illegal immigrant who came to the US to commit violence and illegally converted a rifle to full auto. Yet FReepers are calling him a victim and a patsy. Unreal. I bet if he was MS13 and not a neo-Nazi you'd be CHEERING the FBI.
(I'm not saying "you" as in you personally. I'm talking about the majority of posters here.)
Personally, I’m glad they are in jail.
I think the posters are pro-cop, but opposed to gun laws. In this case, the two viewpoints are opposed to one another, so they’ve got to choose.
It doesn’t help that the FBI is involved given the general lack of trust folks have for the FBI these days.
The issue here is that murders continue unabated in all of the nation’s cities while the FBI investigates “white nationalists”.
It is like looking in the ocean with a microscope while sharks circle the boat.
“following this case for months”
What case? They were arrested 2 Jan.

I’d say the average comments are more reflective of being very skeptical of any story being put forth trying to promote the idea that “white supremacists”, “Nazis”, and “firearms enthusiasts” are the chief characteristics of the vast majority of Trump supporters.
I’ll agree with you that there sometimes seems to be a plethora of posters with an anti-cop attitude, but I think the FBI has demonstrated it has it’s own ethics problems.

Well, a lot of us will support the cops, or denounce the cops, depending on HOW the cops decide to behave.
I’m not “pro law enforcement” or “anti law enforcment”, I’m just pro-people who respect my Constitutional rights and liberties. If the cops fit that bill today, then I’m for them, but they’re just as likely to not fit that bill tomorrow.
