A man who posted a rant on Facebook venting his frustration with the government and encroaching police state was contacted by the FBI within 24 hours of his post.
After 34-year-old Blaine Cooper from Humboldt, AZ posted his rant on Facebook FBI agents showed up at his door and brought him in for questioning for 45 minutes.
“The FBI made mention they came to question me so they didn’t have to kick in my door,” Cooper said.
Cooper admits to being part of a militia, which is why his posts were probably taken more seriously by the Feds. Still, this man was threatened and questioned by the Feds for exercising his free speech. If you read his post, he made no immediate threat to any one particular person.
I am pro gun and pro second amendment! I believe this gentleman had a right to his free speech, but also think that due to the fact some ranters turn out to be whacko’s who carry out threats,I think it is OK to check them out!! We see too many cases where these things are let slide and the person commits mass shootings or whatever!! This comment is not meant to deter someone from speaking freely. If intimidation or force was used by law enforcement,that’s a different story.
What is it with the kicking in doors . Ever heard of KNOCKING FIRST!!!
big brother sees and hears all-1984 is here!

Dorothy Clements, our rights come from God, not from a piece of paper. The Constitution was set up to protect those God given rights. Too many today believe that our rights are derived from man, which is exactly what your power thirsty bureaucrats want you to believe.
Well if they want to come knocking or kick the door in then do it I’m not ashamed of this country but I am ashamed of this government turning it’s back on it.. That’s why they want our guns so they have all control.. I will and always will stand by the 2nd amendment .. If there doing wrong then they need to be exposed..!!
