Shooter’s Family Alleges That FBI Knew Son was Dangerous

The family of Carlos Bledsoe, who is accused of shooting and killing an Army private and injuring another outside a military recruitment center in Arkansas in June 2009, says the FBI has a lot to answer for in the case -- suggesting the federal government was aware that Bledsoe was a jihadist in training even before the shooting.

This father is ridiculous! This young man needs to accept whatever the courts give him for his actions. Daddy don't blame the FBI because your son is a Freak!

Agreed 7:05. If the FBI had asserted control over Bledsoe, then the father would be in another outcry that his son's rights were infringed upon.

Its not unresonable to believe that Holder told the FBI to leave him alone. He's black, a Muslim, and an American citizen. Why would Holder let the FBI even investigate him?? He's done the same thing in several other cases when the defendants (or suspects, rather, since Holder prevented the case from proceeding to a criminal charge) were black and/or muslim. Justice under this administration is predicated first upon race, then religion, followed closely by political leaning/affliation.
