That source should have been DailyCaller.com
I messed it up.
Very interesting... I see some major pushback coming down the pike.
Land of the Fee, home of the Knave.
Hey, its a change.
Do any WV FReepers know if there is more to this story than meets the eye?
Some cases really make law enforcement look stupid and this is one of them.
Is this in the U.S.?
Gag the podunk prosecutors with a rope, permanently.
You gonna stand for something, stand for something noble and big.
The kid should start a blog.
Yeah, like what does the NSA have on this judge?
These prosecutors who are trying to imprison a 14 year old for having an opinion are not feds working on behalf the FBI, NSA, DOJ, ATF etc.
This is happening in a rural county in West Virginia (the capital of Logan County - Logan - has a population of less than 2,000) which is peopled by Americans whom the residents of DC or SF would likely consider "bitter clingers."
These are lawyers working for the elected county attorney to jail a kid on charges levied by a local policeman after a groundless and stupid complaint by a local teacher.
No. West Virginia.
Why did we ever bother resisting the old Soviet Union? This country is changing into the New Soviet Union. All hail godless communism, comrades!
Marcum was considered such a threat by the NSA that it collected information on his teacher, his local police, the local prosecutors and a local judge and insisted that these five individuals work in concert to railroad this kid or else their secrets would be revealed.
Or
In a small, rural community in which everyone likely knows everyone else's business, Marcum or his family have rubbed the wrong neighbors the wrong way.
Off Topic: I was at the PO yesterday to purchase stamps. I saw the WV stamp for the first time and wondered how this could be? WV (in my experience) is a beautiful, green state. Who came up with the idea to portray it as brown, dusty, and polluted?
If I were a West Virginian, I'd sue.
Not just the police, but the prosecutor/district attorney.
They must be stuck on stupid, not to drop this case like the hot potato it is.
Do any WV FReepers know if there is more to this story than meets the eye?
It is very pro-gun, however it is also one of the most politically corrupt counties in the state and probably the nation. (Think "Duke's of Hazard" Roscoe/Boss Hogg corruption). My guess is that this kid or his father manged to piss off one of the local bigwigs, who sent down the word to the principle, police and DA to put the screws to him. That's just how things work in that area...
Reminds me of an old joke:
How do we know that the toothbrush was invented in WV?
If it were invented anywhere else, it would have been called the teethbrush.
With apologies to all WV Freepers with all their teeth - couldn't resist.
That is the morning fog arising in order to display the beauty of West Virginia.
