  2. When will these wannabe supervillains learn that writing down your evil master plan for the authorities to find is always a bad move.

  3. If you need to write your plan to attack mosques so you don’t forget your plan, perhaps you don’t have what it takes to pull it off.

  4. Shocking that someone could come so close to killing 10,000 people. It is a good job the police stopped him before he managed to get a gun.

  5. Whenever people tell me left wing extremists are just as bad as the right I always gave to ask where are the stories like this?

  6. Tell me again how Islamist terrorism is a bigger threat than these assholes?

    Sick of having to explain that even the government accepts right wing terrorism is the biggest growing concern
