Apparently a suspect has been arrested for plotting to attack the Federal Reserve in NYC. Basically the guy was caught in a sting operation. Not much detail out there now.

Wow I misread that.

No big deal they will just print more money anyway. LOL

they were talking about this today on fox.. they were saying he would get life in prison.. I say death penalty...

"Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis"

 

This guy must have set off every red flag we've got when he flew over for his "studies"

 

But in all seriousness, props to the FBI and NYPD on this one..

When are they going to start doing like the waiters in my Chinese restaurant.

 

We will wind up with a terror cell made up of Steve, Joe, Brad, and Chip.

I read somewhere that this was the 15th terror plot against a NYC location that has been foiled since 9/11. Just gives me and my family another reason to stay as far away as possible from that shithole.

 

Good job on the authorities with catching this loser... but one has to wonder if these jihadists are so intent on hitting NYC... that it's only a matter of time before they outsmart or avoid the authorities and be successful. I hope that never happens, of course... but it is something to wonder about.

It's not if but rather when. We will get hit again.

I hope it never comes true... but I agree, man.

We have to do everything right every day. They only have to get it together ONE day. The odds aren't in our favor.

 

I think about it every day and how I should have picked a different career path.

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, now that's a nice Irish name. Makes me feel safer every time I see the TSA patting down grandmothers and five year olds. I mean what would we do if most terrorist fit into a specific demographic, how would we ever be able to find them?

From what I've heard/read in the local news, this was basically an undercover setup from the get-go.

 

So, technically we didn't "foil" or "sting" anything.

 

The dumbass simply went with the ploy, planned it out, parked the van, then tried to detonate the bomb with his cell phone.

The second he attempted to dial the numbers, he was arrested.

It's not if but when another 21 year-old dumbass with ties to no terrorist organization whatsover posts emo/angry talk in a chatroom and some FBI dude tells him he can can join his terrorist cell and then gives him a few drums of flour and laughs at him.

 

Way to go DHS. I hope you don't run out of these guys and need to start setting up US Special Olympics Team if times get dry.

Haha, yeah, I imagine the paranoia this event drummed up will be used to help justify more actions such as NDAA, and some of that other stuff.

You're putting up an entrapment defense for this guy? I think somewhere he did a lot more than say "hey I didn't do that good last semester, maybe I'll bomb the Federal Reserve". If you fail to realize the value of conducting an undercover sting to arrest someone predisposed to commit a crime that's your call. Perhaps when the FBI found out this guy wanted to do something like this they should have waited until he did make a connection with a terrorist cell and may have been able to be successful and detonate a real bomb. Maybe you'd feel different if he was planning to detonate a bomb and selected your house as the target.

 

Uh...FBI is under Justice Dept and not DHS.

You need to be more specific about what part of NDAA you don't like. Is it the improvements to military health care? The NDAA covers everything the military does every year. I'm guessing you're talking about the terrorist detention provisions which have already been ruled unconstitutional by a Federal court. Yes, the Obama adminstration is trying to get a stay on this ruling but haven't got it yet AFAIK.

Yup..just let him blow it up then arrest him. Who needs to be proactive? If they missed this guy you would ridicule them. They intervene too early and it's entrapment. Here's an idea..you tell them when the time is acceptable and then they act. Apparently you are the expert so maybe they will listen. F'n amazing

I'd rather not sacrifice my liberty for "security".

I'm just saying, there wasn't a need to pass a law that allows indefinite detention of US citizens, they're really overstepping the bounds of their power as outlined by the Constitution.

Kaiser please read my post #15.

 

You are entitled to feel as you do about unconstitutional detention. A Federal court ruled those terrorist detention provisions unconstitutional and they have not been used. This is how the system works.

Not to mention he essentially made a comment akin to, "The court made their ruling, now let's see them enforce it."

The Obama adminstration can say what it wants. They are trying to get a stay on the court ruling but have not gotten one yet. Those detention provisions have never been used. They will not be used unless there is a stay on the ruling. You are arguing against something that hasn't been used and at this time can't be used.

I'm not defending the guy at all. I'm just not going to pat FBI on the back for going out and recruiting retarded people into terrorism to justify all this baloney.

You are entitled to believe this was some retarded guy the FBI recruited to justify some baloney.

 

People ask why didn't they stop it when something happens. When there is pro-active operations to prevent someone from doing something its baloney. Some will never be pleased.

Exactly what I said earlier. You can't win. Some people will **** regardless just to hear themselves talk. Lot of that in this thread

I don't.

Pointless post just to keep yapping

Pointless arrest to prevent nothing.

Good thing they don't have to run everything by you or every case would be stuck in limbo until the time was perfect and acceptable according to your counterterrorism expertise

Ok..whatever. keep that tinfoil tight.

 

People who like the Constitution wear tin foil hats? The same Constitution you are suppose to uphold? It is clear where you stand. And that is a position contrary to your oath, which as we see means as little to you as the Constitution means to most politicians, government officials.
