...privatized assassination, according to you. That still doesn't explain why I don't recall reading or hearing anywhere that the FBI arrested anyone who discussed assassinating OWS leaders.

That must explain why you wrote the "FBI doesn't murder protestors." Perhaps they outsource. Remember what FBI did to Judi Barri and Earth First! ?

I'm thinking the same thing!! Sweet Jesus! Number23 Jul 2013 #74

At DU, thank goodness, some are unafraid to ask why the FBI would entertain such an idea. Octafish Jul 2013 #30

The FBI did NOT entertain this idea. MineralMan Jul 2013 #41

Agree 100%. What bothers me is that FBI knew of a threat serious enough to HardTimes99 Jul 2013 #43

It's not clear to me from what is presented. MineralMan Jul 2013 #46

There's no doubt in my mind that the OP completely misconstrued the HardTimes99 Jul 2013 #54

Well, if the threat were credible, I certainly hope people MineralMan Jul 2013 #60

So, the document shows the FBI knew a company discussed assassinating OWS leaders... Octafish Jul 2013 #51

No, I didn't hear about any arrests, either. MineralMan Jul 2013 #53

Judi Barri was 'deemed' a 'terrorist' even though she was peaceful, law abiding citizen. Octafish Jul 2013 #61

Again, I'm not sure what any of those incidents have to do MineralMan Jul 2013 #62

They demonstrate how assassination is acceptable in certain quarters of the national security state. Octafish Jul 2013 #63

Why would they investigate a plot like this? Because it's their job. pnwmom Jul 2013 #57

I don't think your post says what you think it says. MineralMan Jul 2013 #31

I'm glad I don't live in your world. nt geek tragedy Jul 2013 #33

Well. Not everyone believes in censorship. Octafish Jul 2013 #38

Would you advocate allowing birther threads at DU? geek tragedy Jul 2013 #39

The document is from the FBI. Octafish Jul 2013 #49

Blatantly misrepresenting and lying about its contents is not discussion. nt geek tragedy Jul 2013 #50

Agreed. Here are the FBI documents. I've no problem with letting DUers read them for themselves. Octafish Jul 2013 #52

The people who voted to leave this... Javaman Jul 2013 #65

Even the jurors that left it alone think that the thread is a steaming pile of stupid Number23 Jul 2013 #76

I'm just curious. Were you planning to return to this thread MineralMan Jul 2013 #40

I'm also curious. The OP cites his or her misreading of the doc as HardTimes99 Jul 2013 #44

28 recs. Reflects a certain mindset around here, nt geek tragedy Jul 2013 #45

Well, the OP doesn't post very frequently, it seems. MineralMan Jul 2013 #47

While your headline is not accurate. I do wonder what the organization was that had such plans. morningfog Jul 2013 #42

That would be interesting to know. However, the FBI doesn't MineralMan Jul 2013 #48

Yes the headline needs to be changed. And it is disconcerting that entrapment cases were used think Jul 2013 #56

WTF! Why are you blaming the FBI for INVESTIGATING other people pnwmom Jul 2013 #55

Sorry but a subject line that misleading can't be accidental, IMO. DevonRex Jul 2013 #68
