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’s a tyrannical corrupt government bent on making everyone poor Miles E. Hill
Im saying it too
Miles, you should fare wonderfully well in the 21st century United States; a country in which many of us have been propagandized into believing anything fed to us by that ongoing criminal enterprise that is masquerading as a central government; you know, that coterie of unprincipled thugs who have sold their votes and their souls to the highest special interest bidders in return for campaign cash; then stand ready, willing and oh, so able to perform legislative f******o on their corporate and union masters. Yeah, that one; the one in which the members of Congress have Passed the USA Patriot Act, the NDAA and the FAA reauthorization Act; the one that tried and failed to gain control; of the Internet through ill considered and ill conceived pieces of legislative detritus like SOPA and CISPA. These people are terrified of us and it shows. Why do you think that some of them wish to disarm the American citizenry? They wish to create for the state a monopoly on armed force and create a permanent advantage over their citizens, which they would transform into subjects. Yeah, Miles, you will doubtless be citizen of the year in our new surveillance, police state. Congratulations on your honor. Now, if you can persuade your masters to repeal what is left of the Bill of Rights they’ll probably award you the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Hell, maybe even the Congressional Medal of Honor, who knows?
I guess we no longer have free speech in America
Free Speech exists, just not Consequence Free Speech, unfortunately.
Free speach allows you to speak quite direct inluding criticsm of the government; however, you cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theatre. I did not read this man’s post, but sounds like he went a little to far in his rantings!
it will only stop after we ( 😉 ) let them know there bull$#%&!@* is over
this is stupid is have free speech in the USA
“WENT ALITTLE TO FAR”? I did read his post.
Gestapo ?
