Edwin Walker was freed after five days. What were Walker's misdeeds? None. All lies reported by the hostile press.. so heinous were the accusations in the press that Lee Harvey Oswald attempted to murder the former Army general in April of 1963.
Personally I am shocked at so many saying that the Marine deserves it.. doesn't anyone remember Richard Jewell and how he was "guilty" of the Atlanta bombing? BTW, I predicted that the FBI would grab the first "loser" and charge him with that crime.
Maybe the Marine is not merely speaking as a patriot.. did the Obama/Holder Dept. of Just Us have to go the route of the Kennedys and Stalin? What's with these rich and ideology-driven spoiled Demobrats?
Makes me wonder why they were so worried about this guys posts.
In a hearing before a judge on August 20, government officials again pointed to Raub’s Facebook posts as the sole reason for their concern and for his continued incarceration.
If there is no other item than his Facebook postings (such as threatening email), this IMO is an egrigious abuse of the law. I read every one of Raub's Facebook posts - they only go back to July or so. Only one could remotely be construed as a specific threat against individuals - and those were not named, just implied.
IMO this is gross overkill after Virginia Tech and the other shootings we've seen recently. I am glad Rutherford got involved with this. This kind of precedent needs to be nipped in the bud.
