You can’t arrest a guy for intent before he commits a crime. There are tens of thousands of guys out there on watch lists ready to do something, but they haven’t done it yet.

Good point. Can you image what would happen if the FBI could do 'pre-crime?'

The FBI at one time shared information with local police. Many crimes were stopped in the planning stages when would be criminals got a knock on the door and just a hello, we know who you are ,from the cops. Great proven crime stopper was keeping criminals a bit paranoid.

You can't arrest them but most of these shooters were not "the guy next-door" types.

Skip the PC crap and have the FBI visit them just to let them know that they are persons of interest and bust them for even jay-walking.

That’s right, you can’t have the FBI doing pre-crime...that’s reserved to the Congress and White House, as evidenced by the spate of gun rights-infringing bills up for approval right now in Congress that the WH has promised to sign if they get there.

Screw the FBI. Screw Congress. Screw Biden. In fact, screw our entire government and the complex of companies, NGOs and think tanks surrounding it which have, as their goal, the eradication of individual freedom and the effective enslavement of 99% of the population. Screw them ALL!!!!

FBI arrests people before crimes all the time. It’s called a conspiracy to commit.
