Those are, I think, the only two things the government does well. screw-up, and bully people (to the point of ruin, if it can.)Reminds me of an Ayn Rand quote...

I guess it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they could answer that question for us all, now.

IF the DOJ gets away with this it will be the tip of the iceberg for the future silencing of dissent.

True. Well, if we’re going to ride the tiger, best to hold on firmly.

That’s why I never post in the comments on any newspapers, especially those owned by Advance. Even their reporters have access to any and all info on commenters.

Right after the Elonis decision was issued? Great timing there.
To: Slings and Arrows
Why is the government using its vast power to identify these obnoxious asshats, and not the other tens of thousands who plague the internet?That is a disturbing thought from the author. The government shouldn't be going after anybody engaging in discourse on the internet unless they are plotting nefarious deeds and only then with an appropriate warrant. This is a very slippery slope. Oblather is happy to push us down it, too.

“Common Sense” was published anonymously by Thomas Paine.
It is the dream of every tyrannical government that it be able to root out anonymous critics and punish them, which is to say kill them, imprision them, etc.
That ability to criticize a government anonymously is the only protection the people have against a tyrant. A government that forbids criticism is a government which is hellbent on preserving its own power, public be damned.

Just the thought that the alphabet agencies might come calling will suppress free speech. Based upon what is in this article, discussions of the tree of liberty and changing the government might get the commenter a visit.
