Marine Brandon Raub Ordered Released
SFGate ^ | 8/23/12 | LARRY O'DELL

Posted on 08/23/2012 1:41:49 PM PDT by IDRATHERNOT

A judge on Thursday ordered the release of a former Marine who was detained for psychiatric evaluation after posting strident anti-government messages on Facebook. Prince George County Circuit Judge W. Allan Sharrett said at the end of a one-hour hearing that the involuntary commitment order issued by a magistrate against Brandon J. Raub was invalid because it contained no allegation or basis to hold him, according to the head of a civil liberties organization that represented the 26-year-old veteran.

Guy is a nut.

DHS thinks you're a right-wing terrorist because you're an FR poster. Be careful in the judgements you pass in this day and age. I loathe truthers, but the guy has a right to make truther posts on a website that allows such without being committed.

NO WARRANT, NO CHARGE, NO LAWYER. Enslaved in a cage.

Honestly, I’m not the suing type, but I would be on a war path after this one. Jesus, this country is so past screwed. Stuff like this gets me pretty riled up.

This could prevent him from ever getting a weapons permit in some states. They might as well go ahead and strip him of his right to vote. People should have their a$$es handed to them. No punishment is too severe.

Worst of all, the government just reinforced everything he apparently fears from them.

The guy thinks 9-11 was an inside job, thinks chemtrails are being used to poison us, thinks the CFR is planting computer chips in us, and wants to lead the revolution using an axe to cut off peoples heads.

Guy is a nut.

So was David Koresh.

If what you say is true, the marine needs help getting back to the real world.

He served in the military, Iraq and Afghanistan from what I understand. He knows this country is going to hell in a hurry under this current regime and he is obviously pissed off and I'm sure he feels he and this country are being betrayed by this current illegitimate government. It's not wise to express ones angry intentions on FB or really anywhere on the net but I can certainly concur why he is angry.

That’s scary because that’s what my husband believes.

And I agree as well, this guy is a nut.

Funny, a few weeks back, people here were excoriating the legal system for the inability to involuntary commit people to mental institutions, and were angry that potentially dangerous mentally ill people had been walking around, when they should have at the very least been brought in for observation and evaluation.

“Some of his Facebook posts, like “Sharpen my axe; I’m here to sever heads” may have caused some concern about his potential for violence. It’s good to keep a lid on the worst of the rhetoric.”

Yep. Can’t have people running around saying stuff like, “Give me liberty or give me death!” or folks might get scared.

There was an article here on FR earlier today about a Texas judge who said we in the US should possibly expect a revolution. Are the feds going to come and take him away too?

It seems he’s suffering from what is clinically known as “advanced Ron Paul” with maybe some Coast to Coast AM thrown in, nothing more.

“Worst of all, the government just reinforced everything he apparently fears from them.”

Ironic, isn’t it? I wonder how many in the Obama Gestapo say to themselves, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”?
