Did the MSM get a pass when they took pictures?

According to DHS all veterans are probable terrorists.

he put the hotel's $150, 000 contract with the Department of Homeland Security in jeopardy.

Not sure that's a bad thing. The agency is illegal and unaccountable. Are those the folks you want to get involved with?

DHS involved in a local policing issue?

The professional protesters and “community activists” in Ferguson release a hit list of properties they intend to damage or destroy, and Obama MEETS with them to encourage them to “stay the course”.

This guy posts a couple of photographs of government vehicles which WE paid for, and he’s labeled a terrorist and loses his job.

Nice...

The Offense is not Mark, it's the ###### dozens of vehicles marked with the logos of the Department of Homeland Security and called Mark a Terrorist, then having him fired from his job and arrested.

The Government Flunky or Flunky's that did that are the terrorists!

I am going to play devil’s advocate and say that the right or wrong, DHS is a paying customer to Drury and their employees have a duty to be discreet with paying customers. If the former Vet had a problem with Drury selling rooms to DHS, he should not take Drury’s money in the form of a paycheck to then rat out their customers. If you can’t be loyal to your employer, you shouldn’t take their money. Drury has chosen to serve DHS and their employees that serve customers have a duty to keep the customer’s business private.

Employee ticks off his employer and gets fired. Why is this news?

If I worked at a hotel, I KNOW I would take pictures of the guest’s vehicles and post them on Facebook...

...and, not expect repurcussions.

1) The hotel people are idiots.

2) Judging by the hashtags he used I can see that he has no idea how a hashtag works and that he's sympathetic to the Ferguson cause. Which makes me like him less.

No surprise to me that the DOJ and DHS were in the middle of this. They are the ones calling all of the shots, not that Governor, who seems to be just their means to do whatever they want. The man who shared these a terrorist? No freaking way.

So all these DHS people are just hanging out at the hotel....

lol...

Did they think no one would see scores of their brand new vehicles and these people just hanging on the biggov payroll?

A employee does not have a “right” to photograph and display them online. An employer has every right to protect the privacy of their customers.

I know many won’t agree...but the hotel/motel was correct here.

Go across the street where its a public way and put them up without any identifying information.

Watch a news clip from the 1970’s or 1980’s and the cop cars look pretty run down.

How come nowadays they’re always brand new?...as in newer and nicer than anything the taxpayer could ever buy for himself?

If this Navy veteran is a ‘terrorist’, what’s Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl?

“...and he pretty much called me a terrorist”

So his employee did not call him a terrorist.

He breached his employment protocol and got fired.

What does his being a vet have to do with anything?
