You have knowledge that the local police initiated this investigation and not the FBI? This is news. When the FBI initiates an investigation, it does enlist the aid of local law enforcement. I have not seen anywhere that it was started by the local police.

I have not seen anywhere that it was not initiated by local police.

They are the ones who detained him and who are pursuing the matter. If this was initiated by the FBI, there is zero evidence to confirm it.

I know the purpose of the piece, and it was not emotionalism.

This whole time it has been “government officials” (not local police) who have been arguing against Brandon Raub in these hospital hearings.

But, I get it. You did not like the piece. Fine.

I wrote it to spread the story, and that’s what happened.

Now, for an update: a circuit court judge has ordered Brandon released, because the “original petition contained no facts.” The whole detention was BOGUS (the point of my column). http://wtvr.com/2012/08/23/brandon-raub-judge-orders-release-of-detained-marine-veteran-freed/
