FBI says white supremacists plotted attack on US power grid

Title makes it sound as if a whole organized group of neonazis were found with explosives and a bunch of other action-movie equipment,...<p>...and then goes on to explain most of the stuff was &quot;planned&quot; by a 17yo kid in a chatroom.

This reads like all the other &quot;white supremacist&quot; plots. A group of FBI agents, working overtime to convince a mentally ill, unstable, or young and impressionable person to carry out an attack he would not be able to otherwise execute on his own.<p>In a just country, where the rule of law applies, this would easily be classified as entrapment.

For inclusion and equality, could we please remove &quot;white&quot; from the title? The &quot;American supremacist teen&quot; works well and is inline with current guidelines, correct?

does anybody remember when we used to troll the FBI and Chris Hansen on yahoo chat, IRC and stickam?<p>that stuff was hilarious<p>man, what changed! how are kids falling for this stuff?

<i>The affidavit says the Ohio teen put Nazi flags in his room, but his mother told him to take them down.</i>

Looks like less a plot, and more a teenager mouthing off.<p>&quot;the Ohio teen put Nazi flags in his room, but his mother told him to take them down.&quot;
