Former Marine arrested by FBI for facebook posts

[Skull Pilot]

Plotting against the government is certainly illegal. And writing your intentions on Facebook isn't a thought crime.

Wishes, or intentions?

Just because I say I'm going to take down the ******* government does not mean I intend to do so now does it.

Wait who the **** is that pounding on my door?

Apparently they took his comments as more than a joke. Did you even read what his former CO said?

The police have the discretion to arrest or Baker Act someone. His comments might seem harmless to you, but they don't sound harmless to me. Plus, we have no idea what he said when interviewed.

So anyone that knows you can say something disparaging to the ******* cops and you get your ass hauled away in ******* shackles?

OK comrade.

 

[AmyNation]

Plotting is not illegal.

What the **** are you the thought police?

And the term "resisting arrest" is nothing but an excuse for the use of force by the ******* cops.

Wake up.

So, it's perfectly legal to, say, plot to blow up buildings or kill someone?

Really?

Have you ever said, " I could kill that asshole"

Maybe you need to be involuntarily placed under "observation"

Hmm " I could kill that asshole" vs "I'm going to take my shotgun and blow tha asshole away"

One is blowing steam, and the other is a threat.

No... and just saying you will isn't illegal. However, if you are investigated to see if you're a credible threat, and they find enough evidence to show you actually WERE planning to do something, that would be illegal and you could be arrested for plotting.

I suppose it depends who you are and if you have the actual means and training to carry out your threat.


My family and I just went through something similar with a cousin of mine, he was depressed, threatening his ex on Facebook, saying he was going to kill her then himself. We also had to have him taken in for a 72 hour hold.

There is a difference between family members committing someone and the ******* cops doing it of their own accord.

The police weren't monitoring his Facebook, he was turned in to them by someone he was friends with who felt he was a danger to himself and others.

Way to overreact based on what you think.

Until one actually loads a shotgun and points it at someone there really is no difference

It's merely a matter of perception and opinion.

I guess that would depend upon who was saying it.

Tell that to the deputies in LA that were murdered by a crew of anti-government thugs last week.

 

[Dissent]

If you read his posts, it does sound like he needs mental help so putting him under observation doesn't sound like a bad idea.

In an Internet posting, Sean Lawlor, a Marine Corps veteran who says he was Raub's platoon commander in Iraq, described Raub as "an excellent Marine" but added that he had been alarmed by his recent behavior.

Lawlor said that after seeing Raub's posts, he contacted Raub to check on him and was disturbed by his fixation with government conspiracies, adding that his politics had become "extreme and violent."

"Knowing the man that he is, I believe that he fully intended to act on the threats he was posting," Lawlor wrote. "We may never know, but the fact that law enforcement intervened may have kept Brandon from doing something extremely destructive."

Do you have a link to the posts he made so I can see for myself?

Do you agree or disagree with the Baker Act?

 

[Dissent]

This shit makes me wonder about just deleting all my posts on FB and not using it again...I mostly have family members on mine and a few friends I have known for a few years...I mostly post frustration about life or what my kids did at school etc...not stuff like he did although I have liked pages and do share stuff like that...never know who's next.

 

[Si modo]

So, I went to FB and looked at his page.

I cannot believe he got taken away for this.

This is not good.

Here are his posts since July. NOTHING is there that is anything but free speech. This is a disgusting development of my country.

I'm gonna friend the whacky bastard.

If you are my friend, you deserve to know the truth. This world is secretly run by a shadow organization of people who among other things enjoy raping children. Some of leaders were involved with the bombing of the twin towers. It was a sacrifice and a complete inside job. Also the Bush's are very sick twisted problems. I believe they have a secret Castle in Colorado where they have been raping and sacrificing children for many years. Think I'm crazy? Think again.

That he was taken from his home for that is despicable.

still waiting for your proof his family was threatened, dumb ass.

Hmm " I could kill that asshole" vs "I'm going to take my shotgun and blow tha asshole away"

One is blowing steam, and the other is a threat.

Until one actually loads a shotgun and points it at someone there really is no difference

It's merely a matter of perception and opinion.

Tell that to the deputies in LA that were murdered by a crew of anti-government thugs last week.

So you mean someone actually loaded a gun and shot someone?

Seems to me that's a lot different that just talking about it.

 

[paulitician]

I know i'm gonna catch hell from the usual suspects, but sometimes i really do think these social network sites are just CIA/FBI fronts for domestic spying. It's clear, they do work very closely with each other. Google seems to work very closely with the Government as well. And i don't think my assessment is farfetched either. It has been proven that major Telecoms like AT&T do spy for the U.S. Government. But oh well, i guess the People have decided thay want their Police State. It is what it is.
