That's the one you're thinking of, but those guys were explicitly anarchists, and one of them was antifa. Just a glance at them and they didn't look remotely like conservatives.

And it was fake. Literally seven of the twelve people involved in the "plot" were either FBI CHIs or agents. The FBI cooked it up for election propaganda for Democrats.

I think it's funnier to imagine that they were all government instigators acting independently not realising that everyone else on the plot was also an agent doing the same thing.

That's not exactly unherd of in the workings of US agencies.

Source of seven?

Don't have a good one. Pretty sure I heard a reporter from National-Justice say it. It links up with the description of the plot as involving thirteen conspirators, of which only six face indictments.

But this is a real issue raised in court: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/10/13/whitmer-kidnap-plot-defense-adam-fox-kaleb-franks/3639980001/

OK, so what do you think Conservatives look like?

Not like grubby stoners with 2" gauges in their ears, and they sure as hell don't self-describe themselves as part of antifa.

I see. So you can sort of tell by looking? Tell the judge that when you get called for jury duty.

Which of these folks looks like a grubby stoner and has those piercings?

lol, seriously?

The grubby guy whose earlobes hang all the way to his neck.

I did not see his mug shot. I must have missed it. Maybe you could post it here.

[–]madcow-5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You can’t be serious. You just posted it.

I suppose I missed that one. The ones I saw were all angry-looking white guys. On the other hand, I claim no supernatural ability to spot liberal by looking at them.
