it would've been a hostile environment for all Muslims in this country if these guys had been successful.
Sounds to me like another fantasy party. Another crew of guys practicing a terrorist attack by, used guessed it, paintballing! LOL!
Yeah, they finally tried to buy some guns, probably offered to them by the undercover guy that was with them, but I suspect these guys would have ended up like most local backwoods militia losers...fantasizing about doing something but not actually being either stupid enough or courageous enough (take your pick) to actually do anything...beyond paintballing each other or shooting some targets behind an old garage.
Anyway, just IMO, but these guys were ready to attack a US MILITARY BASE? In their dreams!
BTW, not saying they shouldn't have been arrested. Just saying this ain't your mass attack, Al Queda super-terrorist. Like I point out above, more like a backyard militia-wannabe type except in Muslim garb instead of jeans and camo jackets. One truly crazy person was probably more dangerous than this dirty half-dozen.
