Secret Service agents paid a visit to City Hall this week after someone made an anonymous complaint about the pro-gun, anti-President Obama social media posts of a city worker, sources said.
Agents determined the posts on the worker's Google Plus page were not threatening enough to take action, the sources said. Officials are reviewing the contents of his work computer's hard drive, they said.

If no threats they why violate the safety of his person and papers?

If he made the comments from his work computer, he should be reprimanded by his employer. If he made them from his home computer, there is no reason for the Schutzstaffel to visit him at his work site. Blatant intimidation if that is the case.

"anonymous complaint" Ya know, I swear that I saw something about such things in our Constitution but then again maybe not, here on "Animal Farm" we have such bad memories.

I was watching a Framemaker tutorial today. The new version has R to L text abilities (arab, hebrew and farsi).
The guy said, I better not type anything in arabic not to offend anyone. AND HE WAS SERIOUS. FU buddy.

Yep. I’m surprised the FBI hasn’t visited more of us FReepers homes.
I’m about as pro-gun, anti-Owebowma as it comes.

I think you’re exaggerating.
They will probably only get a prime-time interview, and maybe a guest appearance at a DNC function.

I've been waiting for them to come by and see me for my first amendment rights they think I don't have. For real, I have. I have coffee, tea and they can listen to everything I have to say if they simply don't have anything better to do.

An interesting story from yet another angle...given the demographics of Jersey City, probably the DEEPEST blue area of a very blue state, and especially concerning a municipal worker, there should be absolutely NO opposition to Obama ANYWHERE in the ranks of the city’s employees..yes it’s THAT Democratic and has been so for at least a century. So the great unanswered question is, does this guy like Hillary, Bernie or TRUMP?! Dissension in the Ranks!!!!;)
