FBI agents are swine. Their leaders are swineherds.

I am surprised the stasi thugs dinner murder the entire family to send a message. I guarantee they wanted to kill them.

ebb tide :" ..“goaded” their 15-year-old son to post “offensive memes” online. "

Goaded or coerced ?
Sounds like criminal facilitation to me
Then that makes those agents as an "accessory"

What did he post (article too long and meandering.

The FBI chat room agents goaded the son into photographing his brother's firearms as "subversive" evidence and printing what they deemed controversial religious material and left them in public places.

/sigh smh

They would ask him if he had access to guns (he would go target shooting under the supervision of my brother, who lived in an in-law apartment at our home and owned firearms) and encourage him to sneak photographs of the guns and post them. Ironically, our legal troubles began when he had an attack of conscience and abruptly deleted all of his chat apps. He later told us that he felt using social media was a coping mechanism and it had been affecting his mood and ability to sleep.

After the boy broke free of the FBI’s dragnet, the Bureau, according to Rufini, assumed that “he must have connected to a terror cell in real life and ‘gone dark’ ahead of some potential violent act.”

They wouldn’t dare do this to a muzzy family for obvious reasons.

After reading this...it sounds like the FBI and Government needs to make this family more than financially whole.

What they did is beyond the pale and even lends mighty credence to those that dwell on such conspiracy stories.

This time...it appears to have been real.

Best I can tell, the family is in Eastern, CT. The church in the photo looks rather modern, and there aren’t many traditional Masses available in the Norwich, CT diocese (they have been canceled). There are a few in the Hartford Archdiocese, but they tend to be in older, traditional church buildings.
