Caution, FReepers.

If true, I would certainly consider that grounds for a divorce. However, knowing that there are cops out there who will write anything in an official report to justify their actions, etc., I am unwilling to jump on the “dump her now” bandwagon.

Oh that explains it. The guy was ranting, ranting against government officials trying to illegally search his home. Ranting in defense of the constitution. Ranting against idiotic people that have no concept of the law and can’t make a rational decision that a boy with a gun is not illegal.

Exactly what are they doing watching YouTube anyhow?

How many government employees are monitoring FR? You can bet they are.

What’s wrong with Alinsky? The tactics work. When working an issue his guidance is a big help.

What do you do when you go to a local council meeting, just figure your three minutes at the public speaker podium is the only tool in your box?

I got my first .22 at 10 years old.

I also got my first .22 at ten yrs old. BB guns were for my six yr old brother by that time. When my grandson turned eight, I bought him his own Ruger 10/22. He's now ten and can shoot your eye out if your not careful.

Hey ATF, eff you!

Thanx babe. She’s not a keeper.

The police report, obtained by the Daily News, reads: "While we were waiting, Julie stood and spoke to us stating, Shawn has not been the same person since President Obama was elected. She stated he is obsessed with gun control, owning weapons, and his right to bear arms. Julie seemed embarrassed at her husband's behavior, however, she did not seem surprised."

None of which is illegal.

I highly doubt this subjective enhancement of the tale by the police is true or worth the ink it took to write it.

Besides, what kind of mother isn't first worried about a DYFS person threatening to take her kid from the house.

Knowing NJ, this is CYA by the cops--they know they stepped in it bigtime, and need to justify what they did, as they are not used to any kind of resistance--especially the legal resistance shouted at them by the lawyer on the phone.

This is precisely why you don't say anything to cops without a lawyer present. Whatever you say, even innocently, can and WILL be used against you.

Bear in mind that we don't know Julie's mind, or what she actually said. We only know how reporters reported on what the police claimed she said.

The Philadelphia Daily News is one of the last newspapers I would trust.
Good grief, that paper is the retarded little sister of the communist Philadelphia Inquirer.

If I faced a similar situation, with cops and affirmative action “child services” mice beating down my door and demanding to see my gun safe, I’d be “ranting, WTF!”, too.

You better be careful. Big brother is watching

“If true, I would certainly consider that grounds for a divorce. However, knowing that there are cops out there who will write anything in an official report to justify their actions, etc., I am unwilling to jump on the “dump her now” bandwagon.”

If the police can drive a wedge between a man and his wife, they have them. I have seen it happen. They push for just the least hint of “domestic violence”, then pounce.

I am told that threatening to take the children if a request for a protective order is not filed - there goes guns, house, maybe job - is a standard ploy.

[Ronin]

I know. It’s very sad.

“Any excuse to kick down a door to violate your 4th amendment rights. At some point, they’ll kick down the wrong door, and it will cost them, dearly.”

That crap happens all too often. Cops should know better.

I bet the cops here would stain their undies if they saw my daughter a few years ago. I took her hunting and on the way home I let her pop a couple into a bank (dirt) armed with a .243 w/ scope. She enjoyed it.
