  1. 17 year old ๐Ÿ—๏ธ 77 year old ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ”“

  2. Where's Ashley Biden???๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

  3. So is he just another republican?

  4. FBI knows all this ? Yet couldn't distinguish Hunter Biden's lap top from Russia misinformation even when it was him on video ? I don't trust the FBI

  5. So they want to charge him as a adult ,so they are saying that he should have known what he was doing and that it was going to endanger a lot of people because he just should have known the consequences of his action at 17 but on the other hand a 77 yr old trump is not responsible for his actions because they saying because he thought in his mind that he won and thats why he did what he did ,it do not make since to me charging this kid so harsh and trump gets a pass after so many got hurt and died by his words and actions๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  6. In the past The FBI facilitated cases like this . The FBI supplied all components to entrap individuals . The FBI favorite victims are mentally impaired and are easy to frame.

  7. It's kind of weird even a teenager gets arrested and handcuffed before treasonous trump even does

  8. Another one of the democrats little darlings ๐Ÿ˜‚

  9. Islamophobia is spreading fast in USA! ๐Ÿ˜€

  10. Mateo Ventura who has "brain development issues " was being groomed by the fbi to become a terrorist . The intercept June 15 2023

  11. Let me guess Trump supporter

  12. Whoa, big brother was indeed watching.

  13. Meanwhile trump still free

  14. Here's a list of terrorist attacks NBC news didn't label "terrorism" because it wasn't someone purported to be Muslim and/or Arab:

    Oklahoma City Bombing 1995
    Virginia Tech massacre 2007
    Austin IRS building suicide attack 2010
    Sandy Hook Elementary massacre 2012
    Las Vegas Strip massacre 2017
    Islamic center of Tacoma Bombing 2018
    United States Capitol attack 2021

  15. Probably just another person on the internet making false threats and getting whacked for it.

  16. Why not Trump too. He carried out his terror, and he is still walking amongst us. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? Commits an act of sedition by incitement, plans it with others, tries to carry it out J6, and is still free to commit more terror. How is this possible, no guardrails and no filters on him whatsoever. This must stop

  17. Instagram knowingly hosts propaganda media from countries that regularly conspire against us. Some states have laws that let teenagers open carry in the streets. The world is burning and destroying itself right before our eyes. These kids never stood a chance.

  18. So, another nothing story LOL!!!

  19. Enjoy those meal trays, you earned them.

  20. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘good job

  21. Good?, now show me NBC that you're not biased and show me some Maga American Taliban terrorist white supremacist I'll wait. Rolling my eyes

  22. Another FBI entrapment operation for job security. End the FBI!

  23. The only terrorists that FBI finds are the ones they create. Such a waste of tax money

  24. Al Qaeda wasn't formed in 2020. What plasticized rock have you been pretending to live under?

  25. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ Anyone agree with me that if "you're old enough to drive a vehicle" and "you're old enough to purchase a gun", you should already be considered an adult as far as 'federal' statutes? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Jus' sayin'…

  26. My goodness, these lnceITypeGuys are getting out of control ๐Ÿ˜ณ

  27. Biden gave al qayda a bunch of weapons ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  28. Anyone ever read 1984? I think he is misguided kid. I think the FBI entrapped him by starting a dialogue and now he is going to prison. It's really sad….

  29. TOO MUCH PLAY VIOLENCE VIDEO GAMES AND HE THINKS ITS JUST A GAME..

  30. He haven't even Done Anything Yet. He Should be Released Soon. He's just Lost. People do Sometimes but Gets Back to Normal eventually.

  31. Glad they were able to find the POS before he could follow through on his evil.

  32. Bruh, when I was 17, I was playing Super Smash Bro's all day lol

  33. Just like every other "terrorist event" that the FBI solves: The FBI created this and talked a kid into it in order to justify their paycheck.

  34. He was sending and receiving guidance on how to make a bomb? I'm guessing he received guidance on how to build a bomb from an agent of the FBI. This stinks like the Newburgh 4 plot orchestrated by the FBI.

  35. How does a 17yo get access to these weapons? Can we please have better policies and regulations regarding this stuff? Thank you!

  36. If the state is entrapping minors when they could just overtly offer correction and friendship, there is a strange disconnect of values and policies. And the decision to actually amplify this and use this to demonstrate how they are fighting crime… I mean, there's a competency issue here, as well.

  37. Send him to Gitmo bay!!

  38. ๐Ÿ™โ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’›

  39. Hope its not another entrapment case which agency is expert in.

  40. another no mention of photo, etc. What do we KNOW from this???

  41. Ssoooo we can catch terrorist that are al-qaeda related but not mass shooters that post their threats on social media. ๐Ÿค”

  42. So the kid is ANTIFA and has access to the Anarchist Cookbook.
