Marine Corp veteran Brandon Raub arrested last night

[LibertyEagle]

If you look at his facebook page, he made some threats there. I would imagine that is why he was picked up.

Once you read a few pages on his Facebook, I'm wondering what took them so long to visit him. A person who would put those kind of threats out in the public domain is either ignorant, mentally ill, or a government employee.

He wrote:

There are three keys to rediscovering liberty in this country: Understanding liberty (sound money, personal freedoms, and property rights), understanding and the destroying the federal reserve, and rediscovering the free market through Austrian Economics.

In looking over his wall, it looks like it could be any one of us, with a few vague statements like:

The Revolution is here. And I will lead it.

The Revolution will come for me. Men will be at my door soon to pick me up to lead it.

Sharpen up my axe; I'm here to sever heads.

How many pages of his Facebook have you read? I suggest you do that and shove your .

What threats?

I read back to last November. I don't see any specific threats other than staring a revolution (which has been our "slogan" for the last 5 years), giving a **** you to the NWO, and a bunch of post on 9/11. Sorry, I don't see anything more threatening than what's said here on a daily basis.

Nope. And I'm not copying and pasting it, here. He made it clear that he was ready to start the revolution, something about severing heads and that he is coming for them. While holding a rifle in his avatar.

That may sound cool to a couple of you, but maybe now you see why such posts are not allowed on this forum. Posting things like that don't do anything but earn you a visit from Homeland Security and neutralize anything good that you might have done.

It was stupid of him.

The guy sounded insane. If he had shot up some federal building tomorrow, everyone would be wondering "jeez, they knew this guy was crazy and didn't do anything about it?"

 

[liveandletlive]

this guy was not well, was not of sound mind. anyone who thinks this guy had a firm grip on his mental faculties is outta their mind. its no surprise they had him mentally evaluated - though i hope he isnt forced to be drugged up. Just as you cant shout fire in a crowded theater you simply cant be dumb enough to make threats. at the same time he needs help to heal from what i think is probably PTSD, not locked up in a cell

Yeah, all the same I wonder how many 12 year olds don't self importantly post stuff at least as bad. I sure hope they had more to go on than stuff he put on a facebook page.

Who was he making threats to? They seemed provocative but mostly generalizations. I probably wouldn't say things like that on FB and he did seem intent on getting someone's attention but ultimately he was a citizen exercising free speech....oh wait...we don't have that anymore thanks to NDAA.

The metric used to be making a specific and act-able threat against a specifically named public "official".

Then it progressed to making generalized threats.

Now, it seems, that making vague, generalized and non threatening "threats" is enough to get you locked up.

In a few years, we'll be getting hauled off for muttering under our breath in our own home.

Yay, Amerika.

I can agree with that.

So "sounding insane" is now the metric we allow government to use, in order to throw people into the rape cage?

If that's the case, I'll be looking foward to meeting well over half of you folks at Camp Fed.

I agree that his comments, at least the ones I saw, as crazy as they sound, are not grounds for being arrested.

Can someone post the date/time of this post so I can find it? As well as which profile it came from?

 

[bunklocoempire]

Another liberty-rubber meets the road-moment.

Assuming government protects anything when it has already bailed on it's primary purpose... yeah, THAT'S rich.

Reminds me of suspected terrorist, Joe Lipari

http://www.joelipari.com/?p=1607



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lipari

[h=2]Terrorism[/h] After being frustrated with bad customer service at The Apple Store, in September 2009, Joe jokingly paraphrased a quote from the book/movie Fight Club, which referred to use of firearms, on his Facebook page. In under 2 hours, NYPD SWAT arrived at his door and, after searching his apartment, they brought Joe to the station to be questioned by Homeland Security.[SUP][14][/SUP]
Joe spent a year in court clearing his name of all charges, even turning down multiple plea bargains. Eventually The City of New York dropped all charges including making Terrorist Threats and Disorderly Conduct. Since then Joe has received offers from lawyers pushing him to sue New York City for Wrongful Imprisonment, but he has no plans to sue. When Emily Epstein from Metro New York pressed him as to why: he replied "I'd rather be rich on my own accord, not by suing the people who are just trying to keep us safe"[SUP][15][/SUP]
His story was first covered by This American Life [SUP][14][/SUP] in September 2010. It was also a cover story for Metro New York[SUP][15][/SUP] and featured in Britain's daily newspaper The Guardian.[SUP][1]
