Domestic terrorists should be prosecuted like international terrorists. Until that happens, domestic terrorists will not be afraid of committing or planning domestic terrorist attacks. TerrorismIsTerrorism
Why do they keep showing the same 3 then
Sick copycats! 😾😾
14 white supremacists have been arrested for threatening mass shootings. There I fixed it for you 😠
Maybe micro plastics in the food chain are messing up people’s brains.
And everyone of them are violent liberal Nazis!
Homegrown terrorists, no doubt influenced by their leader who now believes he's the Messiah
RobElgasABC7 It’s almost as if law enforcement can find them easier if people speak up. I’m stunned
Hmmm they don’t look Hispanic
So this is the face of our sleeper cells.
Awesome!!!!
So young to be so unhappy with life. Damn sad.
The question remains why until now before this problem anyone could threat anyone online, every law enforcement know even when they purchase the guns the problem they act until they make a mess
Correction, people arrested for something unrelated and you found legally obtained guns and ammo in their houses.
All white trump supporters.
America has a mental health crisis. Clearly
Good. If you see something, say something. And don't threaten ppl as a joke.
Meanwhile thousands of African Americans are killed yearly in Chicago which has some of the toughest gun laws in the US. Nobody cares about them? ABC pushing white terrorism? Seems like a hate crime to me
Bring back the Guillotine, PLEASE! Just think of how many lives were saved by apprehending these 14 Maniacs
Not one of them have ever gotten laid.
Awesome this is what happens when the laws we have already are being enforced!
And they all look crazy.
Good more to come, America you gonna get what's coming to you. The 2nd American Civil War coming
RobElgasABC7 It's a copy-cat epidemic.

One guy thinks he's on The Dating Game. In a way he kind of is.
How many of them are white?
Many narcissists will take the attention you’re willing to give them...further exposes the extent of mental illness in a society thats foundation has been purposely eroded
Hunters and guns for self protection did just fine before assault type weapons some how became legal. No one needs extended magazines unless they’re in our Armed services and deployed to a combat zone or hostile environment
Notice where almost all are from White Supremacist supporters
Right on schedule. Just like the devil ordered.
holy shit
🤔 they all look the same
Hmmm ... look like crackers ...
All white male conservatives
There’s a mental illness crisis happening, these misguided individuals just need treatment
MORE: The threats came in the weeks after the FBI underscored its concern that 'U.S.-based domestic violent extremists could become inspired by these and previous high-profile attacks to engage in similar acts of violence.'
I'm sure it's more out there who needs to confess up! We are not surprised!
