FREEPERS ROCK!!!!

Thanks for your updates. At its absolute worst, FR is magnitudes beyond any other website on the internet in its ability to collect and disseminate accurate information.

And when FR is out of commission completely, Freepers can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freerepublic2/ for updates on FR status and to carry on discussions.

If that Facebook page is legit, this is one very serious whackjob:

I think there is information about two men with the same or similar names getting mixed together. The Afghan War reference may have been a different person with the same name.

I think the guy we’re looking at is a college student or a recent college graduate and clearly a disturbed individual.

It will be interesting to obtain a good profile on this individual. The media is hammering the white male with military connection angle. One Fox reporter brings up the bible as associated with this individual.

Thanks. I have seen him listed as a “cadet” on other sites.

Classitup10 apparently wrote the following manifesto on his You Tube Channel which has since been removed:

Hello, and welcome my classified leak of information that’s of the United States Military to the student body and you. Firstly, I want you to understand this from the start. Did you know grammar is double blind, listener? Secondly, if you want to understand the start of revelatory thoughts then listen to this video. I’ll look at you mother fuckin Anarchists who have a problem with them illegal illiterate pigs. :-D If you’re a citizen in the United States as of now, then your constitution is the United States. You’re a citizen in the United States as of now. Thus, your constitution is the United States. Laugh. I’ll let you in on their little cruel joke that’s genocidal. They’re argument is appeal to force on their jurisdiction with lack of proof of evidence. Each subject is in question for the location! The police don’t quite get paid correctly with them dirty front runners under section 10? Their country’s alliances are able to make illegal trades under section 10. Eh! I’m a Nihilist, not someone who put who put trust in god! What is section 10 you ask? If you make a purchase then it’s illegal under section 10 and amendment 1 of the United States constitution. You make a purchase. Therefore, it’s illegal under section 10 and amendment 1 of the United States constitution. We need a drum roll for those front runners in the election; those illegal teachers, pigs, and politicians of yours are under illegal authority of their constitution. Those dirty pigs think they know the damn year. Thirdly, tell them mother fuckers to count from 0 to whenever they feel a threat to stop their count. We can all hope they add new numbers and letters to their count down. Did you run out of breath around the trillions, listener? Well, B.C.E is yet to start for Ad to begin! What does this mean for a citizen in any country? Those illegal military personal are able to sign into a country that they can’t find with an impossible date! How did you trust your child with them fraud teachers and front runners, listener? Did you now know that the teachers, pigs, and front runners are treasonous! You shouldn’t jump to conclusion with your education plan. The constitution as of now, which is in use by the current power pigs, aren’t able to protect the bill of rights! Do you now have enough information to know the two wars are illegal! What is your date of time, listener? Fourthly, those applications that are with background checks break the United States constitution! What’s your riot name? I’ll catch you! Top secret: Why don’t people control the money system? Their Current Currency(1/1) / Your new infinite currency (1/~infinte) This is a selcte information of revoluntary thoughts! Section 10 – Powers prohibited of States No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility. No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it’s inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress. No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay. Each subject is unlocatible!

Her Americans for Democratic Action rating for ‘09 was 95%, which just happens to be identical to my own “representative”, that well known conservative Democrat Jim McDermott.

Jared Loughner according to his U-Tube. Latest word on NPR, doctors are optimistic for her survival. Five or ten being treated. I think it is 5 serious, 5 less so, and a 9 year old girl dead on arrival.

Don’t forget “We the Living”, Ayne Rand’s first novel in 1936. Sounds like he was very concerned with injustice, and fantasy. Actually a rather sophisticated reading list for someone only 22. He could have been paranoid and somewhat delusional, or as I said earlier, incipient schizophrenic.

After watching the gibberish he posted on Youtube, this guy is seriously deranged. Or putting up a big smokescreen, I guess time will tell.

Makes no difference, he’s guilty and deserves a quick execution.
