    I mean what was supposed to happen? Are we meant to be scared of the FBI? They can’t even take down an overweight elderly man with a combover…

      The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn’t dare raid him because they’d get a 45 ACP in the face. I’m no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.

        I also prefer my threats of violence to be vague and unactionable.

        I’ll see you soon.

              Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

              I’m not a priest, buddy.
