Mr “River Rat” looks remarkably similar to a man profiled in the FBI’s latest Update on Domestic Terrorism wanted on a string of bombings in the same area and last reported as fleeing to Syria. Does anyone ever check that stuff before you add ANOTHER “most wanted” profile to the internet, or do only individuals victimized by these pieces of crud, and the crud themselves, check law enforcement profiles? In addition, the girlfriend of this same “domestic terrorist” — who loves watching buildings blow up ala the Twin Towers and the Alfred P. Murrah Building in OKC has been seen in OKC on more than one occasion over the past four years. Is anybody home???
