Well, I have never been on Facebook, so guess I'll have to wait and see some cut and paste dome of it, to see what kind of posts result in the FBI arresting a person.

Believe it or not, but the government really doesn't care if people post anti-government rants on Facebook. It they did, there would be arrests every day. The government does care if it perceives a real and credible threat. This guy isn't just ranting about taxes and the IRS (what's in "The Truth" essay he wrote); he's threatening to go out and kill people.

The more I read about this, the more I think the police did the right thing. They received a tip that he might be going over the edge. They probably evaluated the posts themselves and agreed. He's a trained combat veteran known to be armed, so they showed up in force in case he wanted to fight. He didn't fight, so they just put him in handcuffs and took him to be evaluated. No one knows what happened after they got him to the mental health facility, but if he "resisted" it was probably there.
I bet the Govt has accomplished that by arresting him. He has not violated LAW, but i am sure will be branded, locked up and forgotten. Lies will be created by the Govt and we will be told this is justified.

All the time people get PO'ed and say things when they are angry, and if that is no excuse i have no idea why Bill Clinton and Obama are not locked up too.

So it's a 100% winning bet to say the Govt has PO'ed the guy and the Govt has PO'ed me too for grabbing his write of Free Speech.

Why just today I bought a bright yellow Gadsen Tea shirt. It's in the wash right now, but in an hour I will be out riding on my bike wearing that with my .45 and No Lid!

2 days back, South African Police killed 34 miners who were on strike when fight started.

Many reports I'm finding on Google attribute these published statements to him:

“The Revolution is here. And I will lead it. Sharpen up my axe; I’m here to sever heads”

And the thread title is incorrect. He was not arrested.
