2nd question for bigsky relatred to the Kanter thread

How is the FBI different from the anti terrorism unit? Both are federal law enforcement departments are they not? If they can eject one why not the other? I am showing my ignorance here but that does not outweigh my curiosity.

I dont know. Seems like the FBI has a subsection that is anti terror. Probably has a really robust cooperation with state and locals in New York city.

You know the ranchers got charged for that small fire under anti terrorism laws, a severe breach of justice by a federal prosecutor. All that led to the wildlife refuge takeover.

This seems like a “foreign terrorists are people too” move by Portlands Mayor, but you never know how heavy handed an individual office might get.

I just think Enes could be a terrorism target and it is unfortunate the two events happen at the sametime.

Thanks for the link. That answered my question and cleared up some others i may have asked.

I guess that the population of Portland is made up of an odd lot of people that would rather protect the perceived rights of a few versus the legitimate rights and safety of the vast majority. A terrorist attack on a popular public building at the right time of the day could kill or seriously injure hundreds of innocent citizens of the northwest. The sad thing is that the attack stood a better than even chance of never happening had the anti terrorism unit still been in the area doing their jobs.
