Just to address your final point on addressing personal views/threats:I don't know enough about the couter-terrorism laws and funding in the US - from what I've heard in the last 24 hours when he was investigated on the 2 occasions a few years ago, there wasn't enough evidence to keep his case active, but they said they don't officially close these cases, they just sit dormant/not actively worked on.
So does anyone know any of the following or what thoughts do you have as US citizens:
-is it possible that he was been actively monitored in ANY capacity, even though his case was dormant i.e. emails, social media postings
-do you think there should be more funding to enable the point above? Should anyone who is investigated then be monitored for the rest of their lives, or if not every person investigated, what should be the line drawn for those that should continue to be monitored indefinitely? Obviously the potential would be monitoring an extremely high number of people - raises issues of the financial cost but also US citizen rights?
-is there ever a time when a person's thoughts should justify an arrest i.e. I am going to xxxx and I am going to kill xxxx. Where does US law stand on expressing personal views versus an actual threat?
Thanks for anyone that can give any insight on this.
This man, (Ted Nugent) was invited, by Congressman Steve Stockman, to join him in the House Chamber during President Obamas State of the Union Address, after TN said/did this; I was in Chicago and I said hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk; Obama, hes a piece of *&^%, and I told him to suck on my machine gun, Nugent screamed during a concert while brandishing two machine guns..." Now, if TN or SS lived in Russia, they'd probably have disappeared by now.
