Isn't about time for the FBI and HLS to shut down RimJob's Web site?

Afterall, this loose confederation of loose cannons has been making terroristic threats against many of the good citizens of the U.S. The Chad Costanza incident is only the tip of the iceberg and I believe (not fear) that organized violence is the next step for these demented, twisted criminals.

1. I was wondering if the FBI would be more interested in the info

we collected about Andy's stalkers in light of this latest incident at Freak Republic.

If we ever had any doubts about the frequenters of that sewer, they were just put to rest.

2. I would like to think the FBI monitors that place

but the question is how could one be sure.

8. You'd think they've have figured out that it's always the right wing

nuts cases that feel entitled enough to commit these anti social acts. I know there have been left wing extremists that have committed crimes - the SLA comes to mind - but the vast majority of these incidents involve right wing wackos.

9. No kidding, I did come across some info here that I

guess the USSS has visited Skinner before but I have never heard of anything like that happening on FR. What gives?

3. Hopefully not.

For a few reasons:

(1) It would amount to censorship of free speech for other people at the site. We must always support the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

(2) FBI/DHS can continue to monitor the braindead sociopaths at FR and pick out those who might actually be dangerous for closer scrutiny. I have no doubt that it will prove to be a fertile field for them.

(3) FR provides considerable ongoing entertainment value for DUers who are of strong enough constitution to troll there... and have decontamination capability for themselves and their computers. I won't visit the site myself, but often enjoy reports of such expeditions found here at DU.

4. Agreed. Keep the site, arrest the law breakers.

5. Should DU Have Been Shut Down For The Threats Made By The Individuals Here Weeks Back?

With all due respect to the personal glory and joy I'd feel if that site was ever in fact shut down, this is still a ridiculous request for what it is and was.

6. No!

I will defend the right to free speech and don't touch the internet!!!!!

7. OK....I get the point....

...but I'm sure DOJ would swoop down on other BBS's used by terrorists of a decidely un-white persuasion.
