A terrorist attack thwarted? I am surprised (well not really) that the MSM news has not picked up on this. Obviously, threatening the lives of people at a public event is not that newsworthy. Anyway, they did find a pipe bomb at last weeks Cedar Creek Reenactment event.

Liberals: You don't need guns to protect yourself.
Also liberals: WE'LL KILL YOU!

Terrorists are going to terrorize.

That's not news to the MSM.

Drop a pipe bomb at the Women's March, or a BLM rally, and you wouldn't hear about anything else for weeks.

What they don't report is often more egregious than what they do report.

But didn't the Civil War re-enactors have.....cannons???

Ba da dahhhhhhh!!!

Did you have to pay to go to NIU or did they admit you under a special needs program?

Wondering if this is the same person who placed an IED in Williamsburg? http://wtvr.com/2017/10/20/stephen-power...ts-square/

Interesting...looks like this may have been a false flag.

Quote:Now the FBI believes those threats likely didn’t come from Antifa at all, but instead from a member of the Civil War reenactment group itself.

A search warrant application seeking phone records for Gerald Leonard Drake, a former volunteer at the nonprofit Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation in Middletown, Virginia, was unsealed today in federal court. The filing lays out evidence that Drake, a 61-year-old registered sex offender who has spent time in prison, sent the letters to exact revenge on Cedar Creek after it kicked him out of his unit. The document does not say which side Drake fought for during the reenactments, but email addresses for Drake listed in public records include variations on the word “confederate.”

Drake, it appears, attempted to leverage existing tensions between Antifa and the far-right. Members of Antifa will often show up at rallies held by far-right white supremacist groups and organizations defending so-called “Confederate heritage.” Skirmishes between the two sides sometimes break out at these competing demonstrations.

As the FBI investigated the threats, certain details raised red flags. According to an FBI affidavit attached to the search warrant application, the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation is a small organization with just one full-time employee, 12 board members, and a “small number” of volunteers. The person sending the threats somehow knew a lot about the inner workings of the group, including specific operating procedures, plans, and names only an insider would know. The sender was also strangely fixated with a former Cedar Creek volunteer named Shawn Mowbray, who hadn’t worked there since 2014.

“You also have a rat in your place, our information about everything you are or were doing came from him,” one of the letters said. “Yes, we like real information, but we also hate rats. You might want to get rid of him. Shawn Mowbray is your rat. We will continue to get information from our other friends.”

Investigators eventually learned that the group had removed Drake from his reenactment unit after a disagreement he had with Mowbray, who was a member of the same unit. Surveillance footage reviewed by the FBI placed Drake’s car at the scene where the pipe bomb was discovered in 2017. Law enforcement also obtained eight pages of diagrams Drake had drawn while in prison a decade earlier. They included detailed sketches of pipe bombs, a grenade, a propane bomb, a Coleman fuel bomb, and a CO2 cartridge bomb.

Disgruntled Civil War reenactor allegedly framed Antifa by fabricating threats against his unit

Thanks for that, Tom. If accurate, this fella needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I agree. If true, dude is a moron.

That has some seriously negative connotation. Gross!

Or...actually...Jussie pulled a Drake.

Extremism, especially fueled by hatred, is an ugly thing, whether it leans left or right.

Not worthy of it's own thread but seems to fit here pretty well-

Some nut called in a bomb threat at my sons school in No. Va.

In looking for info on it (nothing to be found...) I came across at least 3 others just in the time he's been there. Sheesh.

Including one in which the cops actually found bomb making materials in a freaking dorm room and arrested all 3 of the roommates therein.

What in the actual F%^& is going on with these people?

it's the internutz guys...that's 'how' it happens...

the 'why' is so complicated and multi-faceted, the geometry whiz-kids haven't figured out a new name for it, yet....

'they' used to come in 'treys'....now it's served up by the hour....
