How to entrap innocent people - how to be an agent provocateur
1. Undercover government agents join a group they wish to target.
2. Said agents gripe about government officials.
3. Said agents say things like, "Somebody ought to kidnap that official."
4. The people who are being targeted by the undercover agents,
thinking that the conversation is just hypothetical,
thinking that they're all just sitting around griping,
thinking that nobody is going to actually do any of the things they're saying,
respond by saying things like,
"Yeah, somebody ought to do that!"
5. Said agents then take positive actions
to start carrying out the hypothetical criminal act,
like casing out the location of the proposed kidnapping.
6. The government then arrests and prosecutes the targeted individuals
for "conspiracy to commit a criminal act,"
when in fact, the targeted individuals DID NOT DO ANYTHING !!
ALL of the "conspiring" and "starting to carry out the conspiracy"
WAS DONE BY THE UNDERCOVER GOVERNMENT AGENTS !!!
If anyone ever joins up with you, and starts suggesting that
"somebody ought to" commit some illegal act,
NEVER agree with their statement!
Even if it's just a casual conversation!
Always keep an eye on such an individual!
