The real question is should this kid be held under the Patriot Act with very limited access to legal counsel...?
When Freepers start being arrested for advocating treason (e.g., secession, tax revolt, non-compliance with unconstitutional government mandates) then maybe some of the posters here will start rethinking their support of the statist tyranny that is gaining momentum in our once free nation....
People who make the claim that they are being held under the 'Patriot Act' typically turnout out to be close relatives of the boy who cried wolf.
He is NOT being held under the Patriot Act (the crazy mother has even admitted that she had no evidence for that claim), nor is he being given any different access to counsel than anyone arrested for any sort of crime. These were just wild stories making the rounds on the Internet, based on his mother’s unfounded claims. The credibility of these tales is right up there with the “Mumia is innocent and he’s being framed because he’s black” tales.
This kid has been engaging in organized crime, disrupting the productive activities of people all over the country and costing businesses, schools, and law enforcement (read: taxpayers) a great deal of money to deal with the fallout from his threats. His mother has been lying to the whole world (and her claims *were* picked up by foreign media outlets), claiming his IP address had been hacked and somebody else made the threats, while she knew full well all along that he was making them.
She belongs in jail to, and if she then wants to starting making up claims that she’s being “held under the Patriot Act” or “not being given access to counsel”, we should all have the good sense to ignore her. BTW, she says she “doesn’t allow guns around my children” and “doesn’t believe in guns”, so apparently she’s not really too concerned about government tyranny.
