    Yikes! Sounds like they dodged a lot of bullets. How could this have happened in conservative Idaho:

    Im sure we can agree stopping this nut is a good thing. Im not sure why the conservative area is relevant.

    Here's hoping he didn't have any accomplices. I find it strange that so many stories about foiled terrorist plots just kind of either don't make it on the news, or are just a flash in the pan

    With pro Hamas supporters in this country firing up their hateful rhetoric, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to act on it.

    Whoever this Idaho teen is, planning to kill church goers, He has got be out of his mind or perhaps a psychopath of sorts. He must have a for doing this. What it is remains to be seen.

    Nothing out of the ordinary. The Leftist media only runs stories that involve a white American, who can be at least remotely connected to Trump. Otherwise, they surprised the story.

    The same happens with right-wing terrorist attempts, dude. Including Trump supporter terrorists.

    I've literally given examples of this in the past. But if you are so desperate to talk about it, feel free to create a thread for it. Hell, every time I mention a list of ACTUAL right wing terrorists, not even just terrorist plots, the only response your side has is "never heard of 'em"

    This might have been inspired by the massacre in Russia:

    Reminds me way too much of the Tsarnaev brothers.

    It depends on your definition of Right Wing plot? The standards are NOT the same. When a comedian held up a severed head of the president is that a PLOT, or a joke? When Madonna said she wanted to blow up the Whitehouse, is that a PLOT or just "talking". When Leftists took control of part of a city in 2020, installed their own security force and gave the land mass a name, were they terrorists or just protestors? When Leftists burned down entire city blocks, police stations and vehicles, and businesses all over the country costing billions, shot at politicians at a baseball game, barged in and trapped a politician in an elevator on federal grounds, were they TERRORISTS or just mostly peaceful protestors?

    I'm betting that if we held the same standard to the Left Wing, you wouldn't have anything to say because the incidents would skew HEAVILY towards who the terrorists actually are and that's not something you want to really discuss honestly.

    This Idaho Teen Alexander Scott Mercurio coming from a nice town such as Coeur D'Alene, Idaho plotting to kill church goers in the name of ISIS. You have to wonder what kind of church people he would go after. Would they be Mormons? Catholics? Protestants? How many churches there are in Coeur D'Alene alone? Does he plan to kill them all? or what? It's a good thing the authorities arrested him, and he won't do any harm to anyone. Thank God for this.

    Mercurio will have his day in court and if convicted, he'll face up to 20 years in prison. ISIS has no place in Coeur D'Alene. That's all I'll say on this matter for now.

    No, none of those things were plots. And, frankly, I shouldn't have to explain this to an adult.

    Currently, Trump is derailing the legislative from renewing the surveillance act that allows law enforcement from acting on such info as this incident.

    He looks exactly like a high schooler who looks like he’s been bullied so much that he no longer cuts his wrists and sings to bad metal music because he’s done too much of both.

    "Another disturbing story is circulating about how the FBI entrapped an 18-year-old young man in a scheme involving ISIS that has left the individual in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) crosshairs.

    Alexander Mercurio of Coeur d’Alene, Id., is said to have found himself in trouble with the law after the Federal Bureau of Investigation secretly helped him plan attacks on several churches.

    At least three FBI confidential human source informants and one undercover agent roped Mercurio into the scheme, according to News2Share‘s Ford Fischer. Mercurio was then accused of providing material support to ISIS as part of a wider effort by the deep state to drum up more support from Americans for dragging the United States into Israel’s war on Gaza in the Middle East."

    FBI trying to justify their existence to The People and get more support from the MIC.

    Sounds like another person who's entire crime was orchestrated by the FBI.

    If you can't go out and arrest some real criminals then you go out and make some and then arrest them

    I intend to. Infowars is right, both earlier and more often than MSNBCNNFOX is.
