Georgia student gets the same FBI treatment I did!

[Archae]

Remember last year when the FIB...I mean FBI paid me a visit due to some asshole altering my posts on another message board?

Here's a journalism student who had something similar happen to him.

We don't have an FBI. We have a wannabe NKVD.

And Assholecroft, if your goons are reading this, FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON! (Mega :mad: here)

Careful: The FB-eye may be watching
Reading the wrong thing in public can get you in trouble

BY MARC SCHULTZ

"The FBI is here,"Mom tells me over the phone. Immediately I can see my mom with her back to a couple of Matrix-like figures in black suits and opaque sunglasses, her hand covering the mouthpiece like Grace Kelly in Dial M for Murder. This must be a joke, I think. But it's not, because Mom isn't that funny.

"The who?" I say.

"Two FBI agents. They say you're not in trouble, they just want to talk. They want to come to the store."

I work in a small, independent bookstore, and since it's a slow Tuesday afternoon, I figure, "Sure." Someone I know must have gotten some government work, I think; hadn't my consultant friend spoken recently of getting rolled onto some government job? Background check, I think, interviewing acquaintances ... No big deal, right? Then, of course, I make a big deal about it in front of my co-workers.

"That was my mom," I tell them. "The FBI's coming for me." They laugh; it's a good joke, especially when the FBI actually shows up. They are not the bogeymen I had been expecting. They're dressed casually, they speak familiarly, but they are big. The one in front stands close to 7 feet, and you can tell his partner is built like a bulldog under his baggy shirt and shorts.

"You Marc Schultz?" asks the tall one. He shows me his badge, introduces himself as Special Agent Clay Trippi. After assuring me that I'm not in trouble, he asks if there is someplace we can sit down and talk. We head back to Reference, where a table and chairs are set up. We sit down, and I'm again informed that I am not in trouble.

1. Why don't we all print out copies of the subversive material

and read them in public places.

They can't interrogate ALL of us!

I remember your story about Crusader Bunnypants and I'm appalled that this is still going on.

8. Subversive Material?

Like the Declaration of Independamce? The Constitution?

2. This is so scary.

Checking out somebody for reading a printout?

3. What a waste of resources.

I don't know if I believe the story. I'm off to check snopes!

7. I agree. But nothing on snopes yet...

you find anything?

[qandnotq]

4. why cooperate?

I don't know your story Archae. But in this case, why let the agents in your car? Particularly when you already know the reason they're hassling you is bullshit. You have absolutely no obligation to speak to these goons at all without a court order. Of course that's easy for me to say, since the FBI isn't hassling me (yet).

5. That was a "citizen tip".

So if anyone doesn't like what you are reading, the FBI will follow up? They take anyone's word for what looks suspicious?

6. Apparently so.

Just look at those Arab medical students in Florida.

Some hysterical Freeper sees 3 Arabs talking, panics and the authorities go nutsoid.
