Chesterfield police will find any reason to arrest someone, even if they have to make one.
We call it Arresterfield, here in Richmond.

I'll have to take your word for it that's what he said on Facebook, since you didn't provide a link.

If that's what he said, considering his profile and public statements, no wonder the dude was detained for questioning & evaluation. This is what we pay law enforcement to do: protect us. If the Feds had done their jobs right before (like this) with the theater shooter and the Sikh shooter, maybe all those people wouldn't have died.
This is not one of those stupid entrapment cases the FBI does so often - this is a valid threat assessment and investigation.
I hate governmental abuse of power as much as the next guy, but this is simply not appearing to be one of those situations at all.

Holy #e! Hope the vets wth more common sense have a much better idea of OPSEC. this guy was flauntng hmself to the authorities....
if hes part of a plot they sure picked a leaker.....maybe hes an FBI patsy that went rogue....??
How bout that hey> ever thnk they mght have been setting him up for a false flag gun show....and he turned out to be unstable and unmanageable???
Its very possible....
This is a pretty big low in gvt. fear mongering. So based on this youtube clip, a random picture, and a background in the mil. (possibly honorably, possibly dishonorably), we are supposed to demonize a government?

... Or on the flip side, wondering what causes an enlisted man who swore an oath to protect a constitution/ fight for a nation, to wig out when presented with so much material. Material that is the norm on ATS. I think your directing your Nervousness to the wrong parties...
I just love that when people start questioning the reality of things, and how evil things have gotten they are deemed crazy or conspiracy nuts. If they try to act peacefully, they are beaten back by cops as more rights are stripped away and a dumbed down public just looks the other way. When they decide to act, they are deemed terrorists against the state and arrested or locked away in mental institutions when the dumbed down public looks the other way.
We are living in a bizarre time for sure...
Point is, considering how ass backwards it is... There's a reason the DHS declares a blanket warning on Troops... Swearing an Oath and fighting for a country, to come back and watch it destroyed from the inside must be too much to bear. Considering their training, and patriot like mindedness, they are certainly a risk for certain groups...
I mean think about it... It's like you risk your life for an idea, then come home and realize it was a lie and you may have been fighting for evil intentions... It's mind blowing. It's also why the idea of NATO troops being used to stop insurrections on the mainland is not so far fetched...edit on 17-8-2012 by squidboy because: (no reason given)

Wow, his mother says he never resisted arrest, and was never read his rights...And FBI told her "The threats he was making were terrorist in nature."
But so then why would they falsely charge him for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest- when he clearly didn't. This is total BS...And they are holding him to see a judge on Monday???
AND they haven't told him what he is being arrested for? BS BS BSedit on Fri Aug 17th 2012 by TrueAmerican because: (no reason given)

He posts a ton of stuff, that would usually be the norm on ATS. On Facebook though... I have no idea why anyone would post such things on facebook...edit on 17-8-2012 by squidboy because: (no reason given)edit on 17-8-2012 by squidboy because: (no reason given)
