Detained Marine veteran now released, per judge’s order
WTVR ^ | 8/23/12 | Tiffany Madison

A Hopewell circuit court judge has ordered that a Marine veteran detained over anti-government Facebook posts be released from a psychiatric hospital. CBS 6 News’ Catie Beck said the Judge Allan Sharrett dismissed the case Thursday against Brandon Raub. The judge said the original petition for Raub’s detention contained no facts. In other words, there was no information on why Raub was being held — and the judge deemed this violated his civil liberties. As a result, the judge ruled the government had no grounds to hold Raub. Beck said the judge is in the process of writing an order for Raub’s release. He is has been released from the hospital in Salem, Virginia Thursday afternoon and is headed home to Chesterfield. The decorated U.S. Marine veteran was questioned by FBI agents about his Facebook postings and then hauled away from his Chesterfield County home in handcuffs last Thursday.

This could happened to better than half the Freepers that regularly post. Many of us have spoken of or disdain for the present administration.

How soon before 'Bama' goons start sweeping us off the streets and into Gulags?

What I just wrote is most likely in the eyes of those who participated in the detention of Brandon Raub to do the same to me. Who's next me, you maybe Jim?

Obama will leave Jim Rob alone. He won’t vote for Obama’s only viable rival.

The Truth
by Brandon J Raub on Friday, November 11, 2011 at 10:00 am
America has lost itself. We have lost who we truly are. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
This is the land of Thomas Jefferson.
This is the land of Benjamin Franklin.
This is the land of Fredrick Douglas.
This is the land of Smedley Butler.
This is the land John F. Kennedy.
This is the land of Martin Luther King.
This is the land where the cowboy wins. This is the land where you can start from the bottom and get to the top. This is the land where regardless of you race and ethnicity you can succeed and build a better life for you and your family. This is the land where every race coexists peacefully. This is the land where justice wins. This is the land where liberty dwells. This is the land where freedom reigns. This is the land where we help the poor, and people help each other. This is land where people beat racism.
The Federal Reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of greed and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong.
We have allowed ourselves to be deceived and seduced by the powers of the printing press. It is not a good system. It discourages saving: the foundation for all stable economic activity. The Federal Reserve is artificially manipulating interest rates and creating phony economic data.
This thing has deceived our entire nation.
They created it in 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear.
There is a better way. It’s called freedom. Freedom is called a lot of things. But there is a true meaning. It means very simply that you have the right to do whatever you want as long as you are not infringing on the freedoms of other people.
I firmly believe that God set America apart from the other nations of the world. He saved a place where people could come to to escape bad systems of goverment. This system we have created works. It really works.
There is evil going on all around the world. The United States was meant to lead the charge against injustice, but through our example not our force. People do not respond to having liberty and freedom forced on them.
Men and Women follow courage. They follow leadership, and courage. Our example has paved the way for people all around the world to change their forms of government.
Force is not the way because liberty is a powerful concept. The idea that men can govern themselves is the basis for every just form of government.
We can govern ourselves. We do not need to be governed by men who want to install a one world banking system. These men have machine hearts. Machine and unnatural hearts.
They have blocked out the possibility of a better world. They fear human progress. They have monopolies on everything.
This life can be free and beautiful. There are enough resources on this earth to support the world’s population. There are enough resources on this earth to feed everyone. There is enough land for everyone to own their own land and farm, and produce their own energy.
These people have been hiding technology. There are ways to create power easily. There is technology that can provide free cheap power for everyone. There are farming techniques that can feed the entire world.
The Bill of Rights is being systematically dismantled. Men have spilled their blood for those rights.
Your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, and Americas best young men and women are losing their limbs. They are losing their lives. They are losing the hearts. They do not know why they are fighting. They are killing. And they do not know why.
They have done some extraordinary acts. Their deeds go before them. But these wars are lies. They are lies. They deceived our entire nation with terrorism. They have gotten us to hand them our rights. Our Rights! Men died for those rights!
September Eleventh was an inside job. They blew up a third building in broad daylight. Building 7.
Your leaders betrayed you.
You elected an aristocracy. They are beholden to special interests. They were brainwashed through the Council on Foreign Relations. Your leaders are planning to merge the United States into a one world banking system. They want to put computer chips in you.
These men have evil hearts. They have tricked you into supporting corporate fascism. We gave them the keys to our country. We were not vigilant with our republic.
There is hope. BUT WE MUST TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK.

That would be fairly tame among freeps, who generally hope for a political victory, not a second shooting Revolutionary War.

In my perfect world everyone involved with the original detention order would be arrested in the same manner and then confined in a psychiatric hospital for a complete, multi-day, evaluation.

As long as those who were involved, including the judge, aren't held accountable it will happen again. IMHO, the next time it happens the arrestee will be charged with “resisting arrest” and treated accordingly - its the history of all too many police departments.

Shot while trying to escape is more like it.

It is tame ~ BTW, the building number seven story is coming back ~ and yeah it was blown up in broad daylight because it was going to fall down on its own anyway so the decision was made to knock it down.

The reason that tale keeps coming up is because of the belief that the WTC attack was an inside job.

The evidence is to the contrary of course.

Some people will never believe there are Islamic Arabic speaking fanatics who imagine they can bring America down by blowing up a building.

Now, does their lack of belief constitute evidence of madness? Others imagine there's a carburetor that will give you 100 mpg. Are they nuts, or are they members of Congress?

The 9/11 build Seven line aside there’s nothing in this man’s statement that has been written in post on FR DAILY. So what’s to keep them from coming for one or more of us?

There’s something missing here ~ the judge put his finger on it ~ NO FACTS. So, why are there no facts?

I parted company with Mr. Raub when he said 9/11 was an inside job. I agreed with most of what he said and nothing he said justified his detainment (if it wasn’t an arrest). More extreme postings occur almost daily on FR.
