7.What was the motive for the NYC bombing plot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     No One Knows For Sure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Yes, it\u2019s hard to believe anybody could carry a grudge against the government, and be so inhuman as to take it out on innocent people.   And yes, Dougherty (aka Rafferty) harbored deep resentments from having been imprisoned, but spreading terror by killing randomly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Awaiting trial, both held without bail, the locked-up men themselves provided some insights and clues.  Through the prison grapevine it was passed on that Furbush was saying, \u201cI\u2019m not a criminal; I\u2019m a Proud Boy For Freedom!\u201d    Or, \u201cI\u2019m not a criminal; I\u2019m a Terrorist!\u201d And Dougherty\u2019s reputation on his cellblock was that he hates Muslims.  In addition, search warrants executed at their varied residences provided some clues.  Indeed, some seemingly \u201cleft-on-purpose\u201d documents, found where Rafferty and Jane lived, had descriptions of various schemes and ideas to make the world think that Muslims were behind their “playing<\/em> at being terrorists.” Investigators even found \u201cpretend <\/em>demand notes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     At Furbush\u2019s, there were paper bags full of Trump literature, hate literature, Q-Anon theories, a \u201cStop the Steal\u201d sign, and a Proud Boy \u201cMembership Certificate.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The most widely held theory was that this was a \u201clone wolf thing,\u201d just with two lone wolfs; that Furbush got involved – first, just as part of the sex-trafficking operation working with the guy he knew as Dougherty, or sometimes \u201cDough-Boy\u201d – but then, in a deranged way, decided the best way to help Donald Trump was to be a terrorist, and start a reign of terror himself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also widely believed that Jane escaped.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One wild rumor (later attributed back to Rocky) was that Patty had sketched this all out in advance to make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     What got Rafferty to go along with an actual<\/em> bombing is still a topic of discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
