As I mentioned on the other thread, I think there's a little more to this story than Raub's patriotic position, or some anti-government posts on Facebook. From what I understand, he was talking about open revolution, that he was going to be the leader, and his guns were "bigger than a baby's arm."

Not sure if he actually threatened anyone, but he did not sound overly stable from what I've been able to piece together reviewing other forums talking about this.

Would appreciate if someone could flesh out this story a little bit.

It is almost metaphysically impossible to be involuntarily committed.

This person must have done something that was interpreted as as threatening.

If he wasn't threatening this is frightening...

 Quoting: Poriwoggu





I didn't read the whole thread, but from the snippit I did read above which someone graciously posted from his comments elsewhere, it appears he was outright asking for someone, ANYONE to "come pick him up" on the spot

as he was heading out (according to him) to start "the Revolution"

ummm, I mean come on... who does that?

you'd think they'd train them better than that in basic

don't ya imagine?

what was he gonna do, just go off willy nilly and start shooting??? and what in the hell good would that do anyone anyway, under any circumstance?

the whole thing makes little if any sense to me other than his piss poor attitude with regard to our liberties being annihilated right and left with wild abandon, which is a common consensus at this point, regardless.

it just doesn't add up to "logical" anymore so than does that pic of him masquerading as the aurora shooter with that same vacant smile on his face

how can anyone that is that distraught over "what he knows" and/or "has seen" in the world look so damn cavalier and happy go lucky in spite of such, which is what his photo projects in spades.

doesn't add up, but then again I ran outta fingers...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22130477


Don't know what to think. You paint a picture of someone who may have looked a little unstable.

Given the Aurora massacre there needs to be a conversation about how much eccentricity we allow before there is an intervention.

Involuntary confinement might be overkill.

Re: MEGA PIN: Patriotic Marine Arrested By SWAT and taken to mental hospital over political statements on Facebook! THIS IS HOW THEY DISARM YOU!!!!
You know something that is so very true.

The Nazi's "free" prison guards were as much prisoners as those they enslaved, tortured and killed. They were caught in the web of paranoia and evil mindedness that their masters mired themselves in everyday.

Corrie Ten Boom, after having been in Ravenbruch, lost her beautiful sister, Betsie to death and returning by the Grace of Jesus Christ back to Hollard opened up a house to help those who had been in concentration camps in Germany, but she ended up taking in many more who had been traitors during the war and even those who had been entrenched in the evil that was Nazi Fascism.

They were very sick and they couldn't figure out how to live, esp after the things they had done to innocent people under Hitler.

There is a price to the insanity of fascism and it cannot be reasoned with or wished away.

We cannot stop it from happening, but we will walk with Lord Jesus Christ through this nightmare, just like Corrie Ten Boom and Josef Ton and Richard Wurmbrand.

This man will be in my prayers tonight.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
 Quoting: Elzop
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.
Socrates taught us: Know thyself!
Confronted by the pit into which we are about to toss those who have done us harm, we halt, stricken dumb: it is after all only because of the way things worked out that they were the executioners and we weren't" -A. Solzhenitsyn.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22151367


sounds like he was only concerned with the dark cabal, not killing innocents like that batman idiot...
 Quoting: LibertyRises


When this guy snaps, and he was very close, he would have lost all contact with reality and would have seen EVERYONE as his enemy, and either plan and carry out a mass killing, or just go out on a murderous indiscriminate rampage.

Or worse, go to a movie.

Seriously, never underestimate what has been done to many minds in the military.

They made these monsters, and can't figure out exactly what to do with them now.

The public is safer with this guy where he is now, with any luck maybe he can undergo treatments and be released eventually.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2475575


well I kind of agree, but when you befriend a man, train him to defend his own country, hand him a gun and he immediately shoots two American soldiers who were helping him, I think blaming the military for being screwed up is a stretch. Being immersed in the cutthroat Arab culture is mind altering in itself, as evidenced as far back as T.E. Lawrence.

Use facebook to educate your friends. Whether about the weather, the Federal Reserve, or about tyranny and the failures of socialism/Communism, etc. Just don't say crazy shit like this guy did. He probably needs some psychiatric care and is likely dangerous to society in general.
 Quoting: Muzzle


I would tend to agree, advocating open revolution is just asking for the leather jacket and padded cell...
 Quoting: Children of the Atom


I also agree. His comments were escalating toward a violent one man revolution. You can be aware and awake without letting everyone know that you want to start a war. that on its own is a little unstable.

If someone on GLP posted that they were sharpening their axes to sever heads, I would be very concerned.

Anyway, its not just what he has written on his wall but also have a look at his notes on his facebook page.
 Quoting: Kazedfin


Exactly.

This day and age, everyone wants to be a Rambo. I wonder if they know it's not the wild west anymore...?

His words show extreme mental fatigue, lack of critical thinking and an irrational bias towards anarchy. More or less parroting what has become his personal world ethos.

In scope of the police state situation, it all has become to me, like an abusive relationship. The female is afraid to leave and the man just can't stop beating her.

End result?

Society cranks out killers and such.
 Quoting: Children of the Atom


Look, I feel sorry for the guy. He's a retired Marine and who knows what atrocities he has witnessed and experienced. Not to mention how many times he's come within a whisker of death. there is enough evidence out there to suggest that many returned servicemen experience post traumatic stress syndrome among other mental health issues.

I think he is right to feel disgruntled, let down and angry with his government however his comments sound more irrational than poetic (which has been suggested on other posts).

Let's not forget that this guy has been trained to be a professional killer and any signs of mental health issues, however small needs to be taken into serious consideration.

Also, in my uneducated opinion, I don't think the US government does nearly enough to look after their vets. Your government is sitting on a time bomb and should take much better care of their returned servicemen and women.

Executioners become executioners because they've chosen it, not because it was chosen for them or because circumstances just worked out that way. THEY made the choices that took them down that path -- even to advanced brainwashing techniques. You do not become an executioner unless you have it in you to become one, meaning you willingly make choices that lead you there. No sympathy for the devil here. Never liked Solzhenitsyn.

Let's not forget that this guy has been trained to be a professional killer and any signs of mental health issues, however small needs to be taken into serious consideration.

Also, in my uneducated opinion, I don't think the US government does nearly enough to look after their vets. Your government is sitting on a time bomb and should take much better care of their returned servicemen and women.

I agree 100% that little is being done for our returning veterans. As for the police and firemen who died on 9-11. So too are those who fight the bloodied wars of rich, wealthy men.

I am not saying it is right and I feel for him and I know many more who have walked in his shoes to some degree.

But as you noted, his words were become delusional. You don't approach legitimate change this way, not in America.

Everyone who is asking for the '1776' revolution again, is a leftist, leninist. That is exactly what they want.

We don't need a revolution. We need an Evolution. One that is of mind and spirit.
A great quote by Buckminster Fuller:
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
We cannot evolve using combative, dualistic thinking. That keeps us trapped in tptb's paradigm.
We need to open our hearts, love more, meditate and build our consciousness. And then create communities of other folks who are turned on in a similar way.

There is nothing that pushes back the darkness more Powerfully than showing them that no amount of oppression will make us forget our ability to Create in the face of their destructiveness.

It's obvious why they took him to a mental hospital.

It's the way they discredit this demographic, so people think you are all nutcase and other are more likely to scoff and not agree with your point of view. Particularly in light of the 'Occupy Wallstreet Movelment'. They don't want the general populace to be sympathetic to this point of view.

They do this with ALL groups who are against the PTB.

It's just another play to manipulate the sheeple.

Hippy talk. Doesn't pay my bills, nor does it 'escape' the system. Where will you build this community? I'm sure they'll tell you that you need a few permits, or ten.

I would tend to agree, advocating open revolution is just asking for the leather jacket and padded cell...
 Quoting: Children of the Atom


I also agree. His comments were escalating toward a violent one man revolution. You can be aware and awake without letting everyone know that you want to start a war. that on its own is a little unstable.

If someone on GLP posted that they were sharpening their axes to sever heads, I would be very concerned.

Anyway, its not just what he has written on his wall but also have a look at his notes on his facebook page.
 Quoting: Kazedfin


Exactly.

This day and age, everyone wants to be a Rambo. I wonder if they know it's not the wild west anymore...?

His words show extreme mental fatigue, lack of critical thinking and an irrational bias towards anarchy. More or less parroting what has become his personal world ethos.

In scope of the police state situation, it all has become to me, like an abusive relationship. The female is afraid to leave and the man just can't stop beating her.

End result?

Society cranks out killers and such.

Look, I feel sorry for the guy. He's a retired Marine and who knows what atrocities he has witnessed and experienced. Not to mention how many times he's come within a whisker of death. there is enough evidence out there to suggest that many returned servicemen experience post traumatic stress syndrome among other mental health issues.

I think he is right to feel disgruntled, let down and angry with his government however his comments sound more irrational than poetic (which has been suggested on other posts).

 Quoting: Kazedfin


You seem entirely to miss the point about what has happened to him. He didn't go off his nut; he was arrested for calling out the government on crimes against the people. His professional training is irrelevant here. They didn't arrest him because of his training; they arrested him because he spoke the truth.
