waste of resources.

And if these had been two homegrown American jihadist militiamen, they could have tweeted all kinds of threatening crap and DHS would have ignored them.

WLAC 1510AM in Atlanta continues to run promos saying to "Shoot Nanci Pelosi" and that "Progressives must die" but that's fine...

That's merely Corporate terrorism, and anything done in the name of corporations is a-okay.
