Veterans are being arrested by Secret Service for making anti-Obama Facebook posts, sometimes the very next day after creating a post – a practice which has been going on for quite some time.
All the while, our police force is being militarized at an alarming rate, with veterans being cited as one reason why. This is revealed in a statement made last month by Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County, Ind. Sheriff’s Department, he stated “The weaponry is totally different now that it was in the beginning of my career, plus, you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build IEDs and to defeat law enforcement techniques.”

What happened to freedom of speach???
it says anti Obama comments.. it is only illegal to make comments regarding the murder of the president . If these gents are publicly contemplating the assassination of our Commander in Chief.. they deserve to be arrested
It’s about time. What took them so long? Some people take their freedom of speech too far. You can’t say what you want and think no repercussions will follow them. Especially military personnel.
Are you insane? Have you drank the cool-aid already? You can get on the trains buddy but don’t expect the rest of us to follow. Were you complaining when we were picking on Bush and Clinton too? Damn sheep for the slaughter, that is what you are behaving like.
So I guess the first amendment isn’t for you. In that case, you aren’t aloud to voice your opinion, as I find it unamerican and offensive. Be a good little sheeple and be quiet!
Laramie, Let’s just take Freedom of Speech and throw it in the trash with the rest of our freedoms. I really can’t believe you agree. Wow, what a major disappointment in your intelligence. Our VETS know Obama and our current government leaders much better than the rest of US! WE deserve to hear what they are feeling and thinking and Why!!! Don’t Silence Truth!
That might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard an American Citizen say….Tell you what Laramie…we’ll gag you and see what you think about freedom of speech then…….
Laramie get the $#%&!@* out of our country u don’t belong here.
The implication is that people are being arrested for threatening Obama:

It reminds me a lot of Germany in 1936.
The people need to act now. Before he starts exterminating us.
