TRUE STORY! This happened in my hometown!!!!! | |
Dutch Retriever User ID: 3705 Netherlands 11/23/2012 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in a small town in North Carolina. A few weeks ago I was at a local welding shop talking with about 5 local guys, some farmers and some mechanics, and there was a guy there named Melvin. Melvin was bashing the president really hard. He wasn't saying anything out of the way IMO. Just normal stuff really. Apparently, one of the guys there was offended? We're not really sure how this came about! But a few days later, the secret service came and took Melvin away!!!!!!!! He was released after a few hours, but I'm just saying....wow. He said that they were threatening him and he told them he had rights, and they said no you don't have rights if we say you don't. This is legit. His wife reached out to us after he was hauled off. Just fuckin scary. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22349671 Whats new? A small change at one place in a complex system, can have large effects elswhere.. |

And then when the Secret Service was comfortable that he didn't do whatever bad thing (say, threaten to try to attack the President), they let him go. |

This guy Melvin is straight up. He's what you call a "good ol boy" we live in the country. So you can imagine the kinds of things he was saying about the pres. But never would i have thought in such a small town, the secret service would haul someone off. PEOPLE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY!!!!!!!!! |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 22349671 United States 11/23/2012 10:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What sort of questions did the secret service ask him? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28008747 It all depends on what this "uncomfortable" guy reported to the Secret Service, maybe he just lied. And then when the Secret Service was comfortable that he didn't do whatever bad thing (say, threaten to try to attack the President), they let him go. I will find out specifically what they asked, b/c im not too sure. I was so blown away by the situation I didn't hear alot of the specifics. I guess what blows me away, is even if the "uncomfortable" guy lied, or whatever, is just the fact that the SECRECT SERVICE WILL COME TO YOU ON SOME PIECE OF SHIT PHONE CALL IN A SMALL TOWN. I mean really? Melvin is not a threat LOL. He's old! Just wild to me |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18225135 United States 11/23/2012 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Like that communistic secret police bullshit would ever take hold. If I were Melvin, I would flush out the mole and bury him. No Communists!!! Period. Many Americans have died fighting socialists and communists. Why the hell would this nation even begin to think about letting that shit in its borders baffles me. It makes the ultimate price those soldiers paid null and void. Their deaths are in vein when stupid ass punks start thinking communist propaganda is somehow fashionable and cute. It is a corrupt and evil ideology -robbing hardworking folks while hiding behind a government. "You didn't make that", one communistic bastard spouted off not so long ago. The corruption of free nations is at hand. The time to make things straight approaches. The scores will be settled soon enough. |

Little Miss Sunshine User ID: 26460806 United States 11/23/2012 11:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ya well... I have a second.cousin I had only met at a family reunion 4 yrs ago and she is a very sweet christian lady. We didnt really keep in touch much but I knew through the family grapevine that she and her older sister DID NOT get along AT ALL!!! I dont know why but they just dont. My Mom called me. Few months back and said that Joyce ( my cousin in texas) had posted on her facebook that they have for family only and she had requested prayer.... she said her sister, whom she dont get along with nor speak too owns a Hair Salon and she was cutting a clients hair and they got to talking about Obama. Well Her sister told the client that she absolutely despised him and thought it was awful how ppl had simply just turned a blind eye to someone she said THEY PLAINLY KNEW WAS A MUSLIM & not even legally able to be president. WELLLLLLL---- She said all these things not knowing that thd woman sitting in her chair worked for Obama headquarters in some way and she reported her!! They not only showed up at my cousins sisters salon THE VERY NEXT DAY... Butquestioned everyone in her family.Joyce told everyone on the family fb page that secret service came to her house too and went thru her phone, address book, computer and I dont know what all and thats when she requested prayer. She said she told them she hadnt spoken to her sister in years and could.t understand why they would need to go through her stuff and they told her they didnt care how long she hadnt spoken to her sister. Now is this mess with this dude just insane or what!!! People have become so lax running their mouth from their keyboards sitting back and DOING NOTHING while our very freedom of speech is being stripped away!! How sad that we now live in the united states of north korea. I wonder what the elders in Russia think when they look at us? I bet they see a country they remember very well in their own land. |

Quoting: BANISHED 28281850 i dont think it's even debatable as far as the cell. it's not like they dont have the technology to listen. of course they can tune in to certain cell phones to hear what's going on!!!! phone numbers, emails, facebook, etc. they are ALL integrating and syncing more and more these days. these places are ALWAYS trying to get your phone number for "security purposes" ie , if something fishy is going on with any of them (email, facebook etc) they just find the phone number associated w that account and bam. they're listening. |
