re: Look at these fed FBI a-holes.

I don't think they are trying to recruit anyone. They cannot risk an outsider coming in and possibly outing their whole system. They are photo-ops strictly meant to be posted around social media to rile-up the natives.

I see it on occasion in the Birmingham and various other local reddits. Almost inevitably it is titled "Meanwhile in...(pick out a rural, conservative part of town or nearby) and they will post a picture of these cookie-cutter, young white guys with the masks on. They don't look the least bit intimidating, yet no one ever stops to confront them, or tries to get their license plates or call the police.
