I call that 19 year old who blew his nuts up with the equivalent on an m80 firecracker a crazy attention whore who THOUGHT he was "fighting" for a "cause".
I never heard the term "weapons of mass destruction" before until it was used to describe nuclear weapons. But I could see where it would apply to chemical weapons as well.
I was just shocked when I saw that recent incident where the FBI goaded that idiot into trying to blow up a Christmas gathering. Then they sold him fake explosives. And when he tried to blow up the fake bombs...they charged him with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction! Even though there wasn't a bomb.
I think he should have been charged with trying to bomb a Christmas gathering. But instead of being labeled a nutcase criminal...he's a terrorist. In my opinion that's just being used to keep us all scared. Hell, if I wanted to blow something up...I wouldn't have a clue how to find explosives. But I guess if the FBI were setting up fake websites to sell explosives to me then I might be more tempted to carry it out and become "famous"
I really think our govt. uses entrapment a lot. But that's just my opinion.
