I'll never understand why that's not considered entrapment.

That man doesn't deserve to live in the United States, even those people who dislike the government can find other ways to protest in a non-violent way. As for the possible sentencing...that should be increased because if he is upset with the government now, after 20 years he will probably be even more upset and in debt.

It wasn't entrapment because entrapment is inducing a person to commit a crime that they normally wouldn't have committed, but this guy probably would have committed this crime even if the federal agents hadn't induced it.

that article doesn't say anything about how the agents interacted with the guy during the investigation, so I don't get where you people are coming up with the word 'entrapment'.

I guess most of us don't deserve to live in the usa, seeing how the founding fathers had to commit so many violent acts to secure our 'freedom'.
