A California man was charged Friday with plotting to aid ISIS by traveling to Syria or staging an attack in San Francisco on Christmas Day, though court documents suggest he later got cold feet.
Everitt Aaron Jameson, 26, of Modesto was arrested earlier in the day and charged with providing support to a terrorist organization. Law enforcement officials say the FBI began investigating him in September, after a tipster reported that Jameson was making pro-jihadi comments in a Facebook posting.
Court documents said when undercover FBI informants and employees began communicating with him in October, he praised ISIS and the deadly Oct. 31 truck attack on a New York City bicycle path.
Investigators said he told them he had the money it would take to go to Syria to join ISIS but later he began to talk about carrying out some kind of attack in the U.S., using skills he learned in the Marine Corps.
The FBI said he eventually began talking about attacking Pier 39 in San Francisco, a popular tourist attraction, because he knew it to be a crowded area. Court documents said he told the undercover operatives that he had no escape plan because he was ready to die.
Does not appear that Trump's Muslim ban would have done a damn thing to keep Americans safe from an attack like this.
Not only is this dude white, but he received his training from America's military.
Certainly does not fit the profile that we are told identifies a terrorist these days.
Well good thing the FBI is still doing its job, despite constant criticism from the new commander-in-chief.
White, probably 5-6 generation American, likely raised protestant or Catholic and veteran.
ReplyDeleteOrange shitgibbon occupying the Oval Office: This is why we need a Muslim ban.
Billions of Muslims (the vast, vast majority) don't do this. So your solution is to ban Muslims? This is an American kook. Ban them. Any religious fanatic is just as bad. l
DeleteThe OP is mocking Trumps "logic"
Deletethe FBI is trash they have not stopped the majority of ISIS attacks that were done by MUSLIMS it is literally in their religion that it is OK to kill anyone who does not believe, and you should show respect for pres. trump he is the president. i did not like Obama but i did not smear him or right hateful comments
DeleteYes, good to know the FBI stopped this man. Trump goes too far smearing the FBI just as he does to everyone.
ReplyDeleteYou know Drumpf will credit himself for what the FBI has done, don't you?
DeleteMany good families around the world are shakened by a ill family member. It is those that encourage, aid, enable treason, hate and harm that must be deported to Uranus in trumpland.
ReplyDeleteWonder who you could possibly be referring to?
DeleteThis kind of attack is even more dangerous and will likely become more frequent now that Trump has decimated the resources for tracking and fighting domestic terrorism.
ReplyDeleteWhy should ISIS try to enter the country, legally or illegally, when they can easily recruit home-grown terrorists right here while the government insists on shutting their eyes and pretending it's not a problem?
Careful. This is all Trump needs to shut down our internet. You know, to "protect" us.
DeleteTHAT IS LITERALLY WHAT OBAMA DID, EXCEPT WORSE. HE WOULD NOT EVEN CALL THEM ISIS.
DeleteOh Ed Sheeran...I'm so disappointed in you.
ReplyDeleteAnd meanwhile in the DC area, a teenager with Neo-Nazi leanings murders his girlfriend's parents because they were concerned that he would try to turn her into a racist Nazi too. Shot them to death and then tried to kill himself.
ReplyDeleteIf he recovers, he's prison bound for life.
M from MD
I read about that--the murdered mother tried to contact the boy's parents and his school before the attack, but they did nothing and now two good people are dead.

ReplyDeleteToo bad trump doesn't believe in domestic terrorism and has cut funding because this is the real threat
Oh, oh, this isn't a terrorist. He just has.....mental issues. Because, you know, WHITE.

uhhh..... nobody think all muslims are brown skinned Gryph. Nor does anyone not realize muslims can be home grown terrorists, or even serve or have served in the military.
None of what you talk about seems to ever actually address muslim extremist/islamic terrorism. Trust me dude. The west, not just the US, is losing it's patience with islam.
These poor kids are brainwashed with social media. No one told them there was a limit to artistic expression. Dumb damn kids. Use your brains. Stop being lazy.
