Philadelphia never ceases to amaze me as of late.
The city has turned into the latest version of Chicago or Detroit.
Now the city is apparently growing its own terrorists.
Got Him
Reports broke on Sunday that a home-grown terrorist was arrested in Philadelphia.
This was a 17-year-old who has not yet been identified.
According to the report, the teenager had been in contact with a global terrorist group that was affiliated with al Qaeda.
The teen had been planning to launch a terror attack.
When authorities took the teen into custody, they said the teen had access to a full cache of weapons as well as building bombs.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Jacqueline Maguire stated, “Most concerning was the evidence to his access to firearms and purchased items and materials commonly [used] for constructing improvised explosive devices.
“Among the items he purchased were tactical equipment, wiring, chemicals and devices often used as the detonators.”
All of the purchases were made within the last few weeks.
Maguire believed that boy “appeared to be taking steps to travel overseas for the purpose of joining or supporting terrorist activity.”
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said the boy will be charged with weapons of mass destruction, criminal conspiracy, arson, causing or risking catastrophe, attempt to commit criminal mischief, possession of an instrument of crime, and reckless endangerment of another person.
Above all else, Maguire was very concerned with how easily Americans are now being radicalized.
She stated, “It used to be that years ago you’d have to travel overseas to go to training camps, and that’s not the case anymore because you can very easily sit at home, sit in this country and be radicalized on the internet.
“The threat has changed, and it’s changed drastically over the past couple of decades.
“What hasn’t changed is these foreign terrorist organizations, again, having their sights set on America and being willing to not only recruit people from within this country but to target our citizens and our equities and interest here, too.”
Let me take this a step further…
Could it also possibly be that we have Democrats teaching an entire generation of kids to hate this country? Just some food for thought.
