Reply to comment by 420_Braze_it in FBI warned of neo-Nazi plots as attacks on Northwest grid spiked by glitterkittyn

Isn’t the FBI’s whole thing alarming the public to justify their existence?

Yeah, you got me there. I'm sure there's some kind of tactical reason behind it.

It just doesn't make any sense. You don't need to shoot up four separate power stations to rob a store first of all, and the potential payout for it wouldn't be worth the risk. Power substation attacks were investigated by the feds and are considered domestic terrorism so they carry a significantly higher risk and way higher legal penalties.

So they’re covering for the right wing guys?

More that they don’t consider them a real threat, and sympathize with a lot of their points.

They absolutely know where the real domestic terror threat is, but they clearly don’t believe their own stats, based on where they put their resources and how badly they bungle prosecutions of right wing groups like the Bundys.
