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.
Well, our colleges have a little spot on campus called “the Free Speech Zone”. Who would ever have thought they’d tell you where you COULD speak instead of where you couldn’t, like a theater.
What about freedom of speech? I guess I am next. Bring it on.
Didn’t know being a member of a militia was illegal.
Sorry but I have to stand with Blaine. A corupt Government is not a Government. The laws are fixed and not molded by one group. Stay strong Blaine. SEMPER FI
Don’t ever threaten anyone. No matter how much of a MORON they are!
Sounds like ILLEGAL DETAINMENT to me.
U-all r gonna be suicides. They show up here. I’m going out doing what the military taught me to do against all enemies
I guess we have truly lost our freedoms today
where’s our freedom of speech
Its not illegal to join a militia, but my point was simply there is more to this story that is not being told. Somebody has an issue with him as an individual , maybe even an ex girlfriend with a grudge. As an example , there are 58 Sherrifs in Colorado some with fairly large departments who are and have been quite vocal in stating that they will not enforce any unconstitutional gun bans or laws in Colorado. Does this get them rousted by the Feds?..Nope they could care less what the feds think .
