Sharing info a crime?

With the sorry state of reporting these days who knows what he actually did or what he was actually charged with, but assuming it is actually illegal to tel people that you can use match sticks to make explosive material, how long will it be before it’s a crime to tell people how to make or shoot a gun?

I’m kinda curious how that’s possible given the distribution of the anarchist cookbook and a bazillion websites with explosives info

The Patriot Act and possibly the neutrality act or whatever law they use now to go after people who fight in unapproved wars. Then he let the FBI informant lead him into making enough stupid statements to make him part of a fake terrorist conspiracy. Talk becomes conspiracy when one of the participants takes one overt act towards carrying out the crime.

Another instance of a terrorist attack that would never have been planned without the FBI informant goading the "terrorist" on so an arrest could be made.

That makes sense (in a wildly unconstitutional way) but of course isn’t what the reporting claimed.

 

[Jeff White]

There is nothing constitutional about the Patriot Act. It's even worse then the Alien and Sedition Act.....

Note that this is the second case in a short timespan where somebody talks about killing antifa people.

Prosecutor: ‘Satanist’ soldier sought government’s overthrow

A prosecutor alleged in federal court Thursday that an Army infantry soldier charged with distributing information about building bombs is a Satanist who plotted to overthrow the U.S. government, while his attorney said he's only an internet troll caught "spouting off" online.

That makes it even more dangerous. They always use genuine bad people to take our freedom.
Terrorists - patriot act
Mobsters - rico
Child pr0n - justifies cia/nsa/fbi/etc spying and hacking us citizens and trying to outlaw encryption etc.

Ok so he’s a satanist plotting against the gov. Leo should do what they can to stop him as long as they don’t in any way infringe my freedom.

Welcome to the era of Minority Report where you are guilty BEFORE you commit a crime, or just for even thinking about it.

Minority Report was on one of the cable channels this afternoon. I was thinking it's not Sci Fi anymore, it's a reality show.
