We use Facebook for many things, some of us use it for posting pictures of our food, others for posting the infamous “selfie”, and some of us to vent our frustrations with thegovernment and politics as a whole. No matter the reason you use Facebook, you expect to be able to post just about anything you want(aside from death threats to the President) without being hassled since our right to free speech is protected.

Well that’s not the experience Blaine Cooper from Humboldt, AZ had. The 34 year old posted a rant on Facebook showing his frustration with the country and within 24 hours he was contacted by the police and FBI. On August 23, Officer Jason Kaufman of the Prescott Valley Police Department contacted Cooper and told him that he needed to come down to the station for questioning with the FBI. He complied and the interview, with federal agents present the whole time, lasted 45 minutes then Cooper was released after it was determined he wasn’t a threat.

“They had every Facebook post I had ever made in a huge file, along with all my wife’s information, and parent’s information,”

Cooper stated that complying with the request for an interview saved him from having his home raided by the Feds, and that by complying he was “diffusing the situation”, according to police who said his home may have been raided otherwise.

And guess what? Your job would have suddenly disappeared.

Undoubtedly you are on the quick list.

The police arrest people for “it is a crime because I say so” reasons.

And there are so many laws and regulations that everyone is guilty of something.

And Obaba’s NSA spies out peoples’ most private info and so launders the info of the target and then feeds it via illegally faked sources to law enforcement. So the target basically gets a frame job via targeted Govt attack.

And so one must ask, the USSA and the old USSR or any other Police State tyranny is different how?

In the old USSR their Constitution gave a lot of rights but was ignored. Here is different? How?

In the old USSR their “Congress” was just a rubber stamp body. Here is different? How?

Amnesty will change the demographic to insure continuation of the One Party State. Not that, aside from a handful of “reformers” (conservatives), the USSA already is not a One Party State....after all, Amnesty to add 30+ million new Dem voters is being pushed by the Dems and the Repub leadership. Obama’s Cr*pCare is functionally supported by the Dem and the Repub Party...via being funded.

So take this advice...the USA is already a Police State. Vote intelligently and other than that, keep your head down.
Your leadership all support the Police State.

Ah, you want a pissing match! Chuckle, I don’t, at least not with an inlaw.

I know he’s low-rent, but since I only see him once every couple of years it doesn’t matter.

He’s still of the opinion the Al Gore has been the most ethical man who ever served in government. And a big believer in Global Warming, er, Climate Change.

Some degreed people aren’t as smart as the letters behind their names would indicate, and this guy isn’t going to ever learn.

There’s a time and place. And it will make me a free woman.

I always send my state legislator and another State Senator all my posts anywhere I post`em on the net.
I always call his office before I send the daily posts so they know what is going on. He lives only 20 minutes away.

He gets his dailies from me on his cell.

FBI ain`t goonna fool around with these big shots no way coz he don`t like to see his constituents rights violated no how by nobody.

[andyk]

I really wonder how the warrant would’ve read if he had not complied.

[andyk]

Well said. Resistance is not futile.

[Oatka]

Never speak to the FBI...even if they ask nicely. And if pressed remember don’t say anything without a lawyer.
They are not your friend......

Amen. If you HAVE to go, bring along a voice recorder "for quality assurance purposes" (cough).

I read that they will refuse to conduct the interview if you insist. They write down everything you say and that becomes the TRUE REPORT. If later, you deviate from any statement, you're in deep yogurt.

[andyk]

Pretty sure one of their data centers is actually named after you. :)

"If they ask to come in, politely decline and tell them you can answer what they want right there."

Are you advising that a resident yell through a locked door? At least some police are advised that they might quickly slip through a partially open doorway. As for lawyers, I have one for an unrelated civil matter now. He's advised us (improperly) that we're going to lose unless he recieves much larger fees than previously agreed upon (also improperly--simple case) and that he might take months to file, causing us to lose.

And judicial discipline/punishment boards? Malpractice suits? LOL! They've been known to gossip and to attack individuals in numbers. They've told citizens concerned about corruption to "move," if they don't like it (to what, another corrupt jurisdiction?).

Beware cops, or beware lawyers? Our nation is morally bankrupt. People in all kinds of "professional" careers are corrupt. That's the problem.

"He's advised us (improperly) that we're going to lose unless he recieves much larger fees than previously agreed upon (also improperly--simple case) and that he might take months to file, causing us to lose. "

You need a new attorney.

It’s why I cancelled my account. I needed it for networking in aviation and got mostly spam stuff.

"Having read the FB status in question, he was talking about shooting police officers and federal agents. I’m not surprised they wanted to talk to him."

Agreed. I followed the link to the posted piece and saw the same in the quote from his rant. He was stupid and immoral to write that hypothetical situation about murders. Most of the people making such idle threats know little or nothing about the realities of real guerrilla warfare (horrible and sad situation for all involved--not "as seen on TV"). Most of the mouthy ones are, in fact, spoiled rotten.

A good man will not succumb to hysteria and written or spoken presumptions of future national mob violence. It's dishonorable and tactically foolish to threaten violence in any way. As the situation with corruption here and there in our population stands now, there are ways to do good in the present.

Both political parties pandering to the same corrupt, influential constituency? Be nonpolitical or antipolitical (without talking about violence or otherwise being stupid and wrong). Don't give the political robbers respect with your participation and votes for wrongful deeds. Be legal and honorable in every way: impeccable. There's a good and legal way around every wrongful regulation.

If there's corruption all around, stop buying anything that you don't need, because the proceeds fund the un-American activities of the political/regulator class. It's like voting with your money and time.

Become more self-sufficient in the meantime (energy, food, repairs, etc.). Learn to produce something as a hobby for now. Teach younger folks.Maybe the children of the corrupt constituents behind the politicians and bureaucrats will buy from your family in the future instead of continuing to enslave your kids. Pay your taxes due, but don't work so hard for crooks. Do less for the boss. Pay less to the boss. Work for yourself and be frugal to spend much less money.

There are ways to speak in a more civilized manner about consequences of public corruption. Here's the way that the old timers often wrote of such things. Officers of the courts must be honorable and moral in order to prevent matters of civil and criminal conflict from being settled on the streets.

Some families in each of many locales have sought for decades to control judicial activities for their own pecuniary and other desires. And yes, some have done so with the help of many who kowtow to them. First, strive to inform others and repeal local regulations that have kept potential business competition from rising (examples: zoning against small manufacturing shops, building regulations against young owner-builders, lack of vocational/technical education programs). That is, if you want more political power back in the hands of more reasonable and moral families...

Shouting about desires for large-scale violence that aren't happening? That's nothing more than throwing a temper fit through one's mouth or keyboard. It's in the mind--not reality. Instigating large-scale violence with words? Our spoiled rotten generation could stand that even less than contemporary economic and civil situations.

"You need a new attorney."

There's a communication gap. I live in a rural, frugal environment that includes much hard work at home. The climate is brutally cold and windy (workclothes only). There was an obvious assumption that we're trash, though we're spotlessly clean, history-wise (prior service for both me and my wife). There's more that would involve other, usually unnecessary fees to other "professionals" (e.g., CPAs who never did the taxes properly because of their laziness, other fees).

Already been there and done that in the past in other civil matters. Fees would be lost to each one after the "free" initial consultations (the period when one reviews the paperwork sent by the attorney and sees the fees and losses ahead).

Eventually, a family can be overwhelmed with the demands for numerous high fees and threats to terrorize for more fees.

IMO, in certain civil matters (divorce, bankruptcy, etc.), learn to pro se, unless you're a qualified member of the policital/regulator class (loaded with cash to burn or throw at the professional/political/regulator class).

Learn rules/procedures, statutes and cases. When they attack to steal your property, pro se. File, and file again. Do so, until you wear them out. Regardless of what happens with the case at hand, that's what I'm going to do. They don't like years and years of "BS?" Well, we don't like receiving it either.

I’ll probably back out from the attorney relationship in the morning and begin work to file myself, BTW. Lesson learned. I can do it faster. although methods of entering some of the needed information are trade secrets (one involving currency exchange). There will be unreturned fees, which will go on one of the filing forms (mandatory). And the local judge in a related case will be told the truth: that our answer there to stall was advised by the attorney in question.

Let them gossip and attack in retaliation, if they like. Time will be on my side in the years to come, and I’ll never move from the state. We’re living on a tiny pension, the smallness of which would horrify “professionals” and don’t have enough for them, too. But there’s plenty of time for us to learn something new.

[The volunteer work for pro se education was in another kind of civil case in another state, thus, the need for the new learning experience.]

[Alas Babylon!]

Bwahahaha!

They follow EVERY post on this site with MUCH more scrutiny.

Do NOT kid yourself.
