I read the article, you're adding in a lot of details to make the suspect seem like he was duped. We don't know if he tried to back out or if they coaxed him.

Idk if this guy is mentally ill or not, but he met up with someone who claimed to be selling c4, learned how to detonate and gave him money for them. Idk how much it cost, but I don't know why he would buy them if he wasn't expecting to use them.

He's assuming the guy got duped because that's their MO.

Feds have cried terrorist in questionable circumstances way to many times. Now when they say it everyone assumes it's some extremist who they goaded into action.
