It of course matters how far they went in interacting with him, but if all it takes for someone to try to bomb a building is another person online going, "do it, I'll sell you a bomb", they should probably not be free and are clearly a danger. If this is mainly due to mental illness, that can and should be considered during the trial as far as punishment/rehabilitation goes, but has no bearing on the fact that they were willing to bomb a building.

This is a very unrealistic idea of how these cases usually play out. I linked this article elsewhere in the thread: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/fbi-entrap...
