I remember when these guys were first arrested. The going story then was that they really weren’t terribly serious about what they were doing, that they were just a bunch of guys running around in the woods playing jihadis. Most stories that I remember downplayed that they were trying very hard to score automatic weapons and explosives.
Turns out they were serious after all. And now, thanks to a vigilant store clerk and investigators who take the threat from Islamists very seriously, they will be going to jail for a long time. Hopefully, they’ll be there until they die of old age.
