This would be plausible if there weren't so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.

Why should it be acceptable for them to spy on everyone if they're not even going to successfully catch people who openly declare they will be violent, for days before the event? When people called the FBI to inform them the person might do something, the FBI responded with, "they're already on a list".

Yea... no. If they aren't catching ALL of the blatantly obvious ones ... fuck them. You don't get to run the show and then shit the bed.
