An innocent photograph posted on Facebook of a beaming, spectacled boy proudly displaying a birthday present from his father prompted a police raid befitting an al-Qaida terrorist.

New Jersey resident Shawn Moore, a National Rifle Association firearms instructor, range safety officer and New Jersey hunter education instructor, gave his son a .22-caliber rifle for his 11th birthday.

“... if a curious stranger got too close they would offer him a fag and pretend to be friendly.”

What if one does not have a member of ‘Queer Nation’ available? What should then be offered to the StasiPerson?

Inconceivable!

I think that word means what you think it means!

Oh, the reporting entity isn’t who I’m interested in.

It’s the person in the seat of authority ordering the investigation that needs to get chastised.

In a sane world, they would have received the report, looked at the “evidence” and said there’s no reason, based on this photo, to take any action whatsoever.

A coward is a man who never acts. A rash man acts before he is ready, or when he has no hope of success. A wise man carefully prepares and plans and acts when his enemy is complacent and inattentive. I suggest that you read your Machiavelli and Sun Tzu. But if you still think you are a free man you haven’t been paying attention.

This scares the hell out of me! I hope this attracts massive outrage! Little by little. . . bit by bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve seen 8 or 10 different threads on FR alone about this. Its in the blogosphere. But thats about it.

We don’t live in a sane world.

The law requires that every report of child abuse be investigated.

It is reasonable to bring the police considering that it there were firearms on the premises. It was not reasonable to try and force the issue of seeing the firearms.

Speak for yourself. I live as a free man and anyone that doesn't like it can pound sand or kill me.

It’s only “inconceivable” if you haven’t been paying the slightest shred of attention to what’s been happening to peaceful gun owners in states like New Jersey and New York.

(I used to say “law-abiding” in addition to “peaceful,” but given the laws these days, that’s no longer a term of approbation.)

Little by little. . . bit by bit.

Reminded me of the Garden Song. I rewrote the lyrics.

0bama’s Communist Garden song

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make dictatorship grow
Cut their liberties deep and low
Gonna make it Communist ground

Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
So the people really don’t know
‘till the Constitution comes tumbling down

Pulling freedom and trampling rights
The people won’t even put up a fight
The media fools will say its right
Cause the transformation is close at hand

Grab their guns, take their wealth and brains
Throw their religion down the drain
‘till their bodies no longer strain
Against the new Communist command

"Child abuse?" What "child abuse?" There was no "child abuse" reported, and a report of something that is not "child abuse" is not required to be investigated.

I especially liked how that social services (and, if there were ever a bogus profession, that’s it) refused to give her name.

They need to find the busybody who “SWATted” them.
The cops were not checking Facebook on their own. This sort of thing is DANGEROUS.

Is this not simply another version of “swatting”?

That is fine for you and I wouldn’t think of trying to talk you out of it, but many of us have families to consider. Liberating our country is not going to happen overnight. We need to have a long-haul mentality. OPSEC is essential if we plan to succeed.

From the article “While everyone was gathered in his home, Moore asked the New Jersey caseworker for her name. She wouldn’t give it to him.”

Never let anyone, who is working in an official capacity, into your home without them prodcuing photo ID from their office/department. They are not who they say they are until this is provided. These people do not like to provide ID they love to work under a cloak of anonimity.

By the time the father returned to his home, the “authorities” were in his home pressing to search.

He refused the search, as you should have.

Use of the word “raid” is out of place, a raid is pre-planned and they have a warrant.

This incident was clearly not-pre-planned and didn’t have a warrant.

All they had was a social worker with the vapors. . .and I BET, SHE IS ANOTHER ONE OF HOLDER’S/OBAMA’S PEOPLE.
