Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts
Penurious Penguin writes "A few days ago, news of an ex-marine detained for his Facebook posts reached far and wide throughout the interweb. It was a hotly debated affair and considered from many perspectives. Today, a judge has ordered the release of Brandon Raub, citing a lack of facts regarding the detention. It's a strange case, undoubtedly, but perhaps even stranger when taking into account a few things. For example, Raub reportedly made claims that one of the psychiatrists involved in the case threatened him with forced medication. For history polymaths, government proposals of forced medication may not be a surprise; you may remember the case of Susan Lindauer. The situation may also remind of 2009, when Fusion Centers targeted Ron Paul supporters, certain universities, and conspiracy theorists as threats to national security, even logging anti death-penalty and anti-war activists into federal terrorism databases. Personally, I find myself wondering what sorts of epic dangers someone like Noam Chomsky might seem to pose after a stressful day and a few beers, if overheard by certain departments."
Whatever the hell that means
The most unbelievable thing in that scenario is that Bush is smart enough to pull such a thing off.
Maybe he means it as a code or a metaphor. :-)
But, yeah, the flying saucer men are probably really the flying saucer men.
Free cookie to anyone getting that reference.
>>>He's mentally ill, and really does need help (even if you can't force it).
I friended him on facebook, and then start chatting with his friends. They say he's a quiet person and the kindest person they know.
>>>The guy seriously believes that George W. Bush is living in a secret castle in Colorado where he rapes
Provide citation or retract the libel.
>>>He also believes that Bush not only planned 9-11, but serves a world shadow government
Well this part is true. He does believe that there's a group called the "Bilderberg Group" that acts, not as a world government, but also to set policy. And since this group just held a meeting in northern Virginia, the guy is not crazy. It's a fact that they exist. (But I doubt they are a world government..... just the leaders getting together to set international policy. Like a conference.)
My AC stalker: " I personally agree with your posts most of the time, but that won't keep me from modding you troll"
I would reply to your question, as if you were serious, but it would be unfair of me to assume you're not just trolling.
What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
