Never gripe about the cops, they are just the enforcers, gripe about the politicians instead they are the true enemies of freedom.

Let this be a warning to all.

Do NOT challenge nor speak ill of you betters.

Learn your place and pay your taxes.

Michael is facing three counts of transmitting threats in interstate commerce.

He wasn't conducting "interstate commerce," but then misinterpretation of the Commerce Clause is the feral government's skeleton key that opens any door it wants to open, so why should they stop now?

This is ridiculous and against freedom of speech , against freedom.

Obama has turned America into a communist dictatorship.

***Certain categories of speech having little or no social value are not protected,...***

Just who determines what has ‘social value’? Some Czar?

I understand there’s limits, but this is about as slippery a slope as you can get.

Certain categories of speech having little or no social value are not protected, and threats are one such category

Oh, please. A 'threat' is not an action. Without an action, no one was harmed. Without harm, there can be no cause for action.

What we have is not only a violation of free speech, it's presumption of guilt prior to legal fact....

basically, their prosecuting him for what he might do.

I agree with George Carlin, lefty that he was. There is no so-called “Bill of Rights”. There is only a “Bill of Privileges” that can be rescinded whenever Big Brother decides to rescind them.

“...I’ll kill whoever I deem ...” Until he typed this, the post was just a rant.

Threats to kill police are not only stupid, but arguably not
covered as protected speech (unless uttered by a protected minority).

He was white, i take it.

I make constructive criticism comments on police, government, media, etc on Facebook, etc as my inherent freedom provides.

Any attempt to punish that freedom?

That’s what 17 loaded AK mags in bandoleers is ready for.

Michael is accused of writing a series of posts in August 2011 (and creating a "statewide" Facebook event scheduled for November 2011) containing vague but angry and violent statements regarding DEA agents. One alleged post: "War is near..anarchy and justice will be sought...I'll kill whoever I deem to be in the way of harmony to the human race...BE WARNED IF U PULL ME OVER!!"

No doubt the court is soon to be clogged with rap artists. I'm sure Ice Cube will have multiple subpoenas to answer.

So if someone were to say “Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants...BE WARNED IF U PULL ME OVER!!” on a website, what would happen?

...BE WARNED IF U PULL ME OVER!!”

I believe this falls into the same category as shouting fire in a theater when there is no fire.

Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.

Rocky top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
