Offer Upgrade  User ID: 25066813  United States05/30/2013 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just heard about this on the radio. It caught my attention because in the broadcast of the story it stated that, the mother of the "suspect", claims that her son was working with the FBI and that we was a victim of entrapment! Hmmm... Sound familiar anyone? Strange [link to www.washingtonpost.com] CHICAGO — A young Lebanese immigrant was sentenced Thursday to 23 years in prison for placing a backpack he believed contained a powerful bomb along a bustling city street near the Chicago Cubs’ baseball stadium. Sami Samir Hassoun’s sentencing in federal court in Chicago came little more than a month after bombs concealed in backpacks exploded at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding hundreds more.

(OP) User ID: 25066813 United States05/31/2013 12:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In a recent presentencing filing, the defense suggested investigators may have entrapped Hassoun, arguing the paid informant egged Hassoun on to acquiesce to ever-more ominous-sounding plots. Prone to boasting and eager to impress, Hassoun even made what the defense describes as absurd claims he could make a gun out of two pieces of wood and a spring, and a bomb out of baking soda. But so inept was Hassoun, he bought a backpack, walkie-talkies and some batteries agents asked him to buy and the FBI then incorporated it into a dud bomb fashioned at its lab in Quantico, Va., defense filings say. ~"For the total development of the human being, solitude as a means of cultivating sensitivity becomes a necessity.

No but seriously, these guys are getting caught up with the FED'S and encouraged, then suddenly the tables turn and they become "*ucked!" "ENTRAPMENT" is a crime as well! ~"For the total development of the human being, solitude as a means of cultivating sensitivity becomes a necessity.

User ID: 20805757 United States05/31/2013 05:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i was just about to post a thread til I saw urs. LOL More news: [link to news.yahoo.com] My question: Was this a test run for Boston? Gettleman said he accepted the defense depiction of Hassoun as a uniquely gullible youth and that an informant may have been eager to please his FBI handlers by leading him on — though the judge said that was no excuse for Hassoun's crime. The 25yr old kid got 23 years in prison for dropping an empty backpack in a trash can thinking it was a bomb. They're taking these poor kids and using them to set up false flags and/or real events. Completely screwed up! The Boston kid is saying he was framed too. Maybe that's part of their "it wasn't me" tactic but this unfair shit it starting to add up! Yes it's screwed up that the kids put the backpack in the trash can but which is more screwed up? Coercing someone to do a heinous act? Or doing the act? If we don't listen we will never hear the truth |
