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.
It is an intimidation tactic they use to let all of your friends, family and neighbors know they are watching. Not all of the prisoners in jail in middle eastern countries are killed for a reason. They want a few to broadcast the atrocities, mostly because of limited resources and manpower.
He had every right to express himself He didn’t threaten anyone
‘They’ can go get and question someone who has Ranted on FB, but we can Not go try to rescue someone CALLING FOR HELP in Benghazi??
Ohhhh, Different Agency/Outfit and different set of people calling the shots??????????
So, the FBI is actively assisting in supporting police state tactics. I don’t know this guy or what he stands for, but that the FBI and the other intelligence agencies that I used to hold in high regard are violating our Constitutional rights on such a large scale is unforgivable. I’m curious how much they get paid to betray their country?
THANKS FOR EXPRESSING YOUR OPINION, GLAD TO HEAR IT..
No ones rights were violated …..
Hard to blame the feds for trying to find out if this guy might happen to be a significant threat..Admittedly a member of a militia. Sounds like they went about it the right way…Ive got a friend who is an environmental activist. Shes always stated that its crazy for a true activist to not take in to consideration that they might be considered a threat .Especially if they talk about violence.
This country is in a world of $#%&!@*!!!
What else can you expect with a communist President and democratic congress. They don’t do their jobs and still get a paycheck. Sounds like welfare country.
We have no freedom of speech anymore , this is not the first time this has happen .we are being watched listen too and even taken out of the picture sometimes wake up people this is your country , your freedom don’t let them take it away .
