Michigan defense lawyer challenges FBI's claim of terror plot, as five young men face charges following Halloween weekend discussions in an online chat room. The group, aged 16-20, was arrested after referring to an attack using the phrase pumpkin day. The lawyer argues that no illegal activities took place and urges against jumping to conclusions based on online conversations. Authorities haven't disclosed if the group had the means to carry out an attack, and experts question the severity of the threat. The community awaits more information as the debate over online speech monitoring and action continues.
