... .
So, you think the government should be able to charge anyone with terrorism based on an allegation that they made a joke about having a bomb?
. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8685274 . Yeah, a "joke". Sorry ... where was the punchline? Was it when he: - threatened to blow up a national monument? - harm and kill innocent people? - or resisted arrest? . Quoting: Bucephelus I am going by the links you provided. All I see is the cops charged him with many crimes for saying "there is a bomb in there." You are assuming that he said this and even if he did, he may have been simply protesting this gross violation of the constitution. So, you are basically saying that a government official can simply claim that someone said "bomb" and lock you up for terrorism, which may entail an extended stay at the guantanamo resort, extensive torture in overseas locations, or assassination. If he did in fact mean to make a "terroristic threat," then of course he should be punished. But you would have to prove this in court. Any other position, such as the one you appear to be holding, is unamerican. Who cares if he is liberal, conservative, or a transvestite with a pet kangaroo. If they take away his rights, they can take away yours. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8685274 . Security cameras undoubtedly show this, or he would have been released without being charged a day later. I suppose there could be some sort of conspiracy between the security guards, local law enforcement, the FBI, etc ... but somehow I doubt it. He's an America-hater and also hates the so-called over-population of humans in general on planet earth. Read some of his scholarly work then get back to me, friend. And his political views DO matter because you can bet your ass that if he was conservative or white, this incident would be on the front page of the fucking New York Times!. Quoting: Bucephelus And if that happened your post here would be completely different. It would be railing against the evil liberal police officers for taking away the college professor's freedom of speech and whatnot. I can see just how this played out: Cop: Do you have anything in the bag? Prof: (sarcastically) Yeah it's full of explosives.. *dumb laugh* Cop: DOWN ON THE GROUND MOTHERFKER WE GOT A 10-15 HERE TERRORIST! Had they bothered to look the bag, this would have been settled rather quickly. It is clear he didn't actually have explosives, so your title is incredibly biased and misleading. You are no better than the MSM, spouting bullshit and half-truths to sensationalize the story.. just on the other side of things.
