Amazingly, CNN can't pin this one on rabid gun-owning conservatives.

Ohio man indicted on charges of plotting synagogue attack

 A man who allegedly had photographs of weapons and pro-ISIS messages on his social media accounts was indicted Tuesday on charges of targeting a Jewish house of worship, federal prosecutors in northern Ohio said. Authorities have said Damon Joseph, 21, of Holland, Ohio, planned to kill worshipers inside a synagogue in Toledo with an assault rifle.  ...

Joseph, also known as Abdullah Ali Yusuf, was arrested after taking possession of two semi-automatic rifles in December, authorities said.  ...

In September, agents asked Joseph whether he hated people in America. "Oh yeah, definitely," answered Joseph, according to court records. "The gays the Christians the Catholics the Jews you name it."

Undercover agents later met Joseph in person and were given a shopping list of weapons and ammunition, items he needed to mimic the October Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, where 11 people were killed, US Attorney Justin E. Herdman said in December. On his list was an assault rifle, semi-automatic pistol, at least two magazines and ammunition, authorities said. ...

Heard about this on the local news here.  I too am surprised CNN mentioned the ISIS connection. 

Kudos to the FBI and all involved in bringing this guy down.

I like the way the FBI sold him two inoperable rifles. Aww, that's a shame.

Ah! A hometown Toledo boy.

Need to buy more ammo.
