Turtle Island Liberation Front is the type of thing people write on their (extremely low quality) landback graffiti. No cops or feds have ever taken it seriously.

Sure smells like the feds baited more mentally challenged people into taking money from them, to buy bombs from them, to say they stopped terrorists (something they a very established trend of doing)

You mean “getting dangerous people off the streets who’d kill if they had the means”?

> The complaint also alleges that the four involved in the plot were not attempting to kill people, and if they saw anyone in the area of their bombs, they would try and warn them.

No, they also manipulate these people and convince them into doing terror attacks they otherwise wouldn't. Essentially, the FBI radicalizes them, encourages them to do terror attacks, and gives them the means, then "stops them". It's a disgusting pattern of behavior. Had the FBI not been involved, they would not be dangerous.
