re: #720 Sharmuta

I hadn’t noticed that we were? Hello? I’ve seen some evidence - from Lawhawk - that there are some further problems with that DHS report. More problems than were apparent on simply reading it.

At no time have I ever been an extremist, and I’m not prone to viewing with alarm. But I’m not pleased by this report; I don’t understand why it was written; I do not find it even vaguely helpful, because it’s too foggy. Were that report designed to raise paranoia, it could not do a better job.

The FBI is supposed to investigate situations where threats exist. I have absolutely no problem with them doing so, as I said early on. Further, I have no doubt that any group thinking about violence is probably seeking combat veterans.

At this point, a whole bunch of different issues have been conflated. Paulians and Stormfronters are being named in a context that sounds accusatory.

What’s going on here?
