If it happens again, get a lawyer.
There's no way I'm talking to the local Barney Fifes, much less the FBI, without representation. You never know what they might be trying to fit you to when they show up at your door.

Freeway "bloggers" are typically charged with the crime of littering. I'm sure the bloggers think their signs are very very important and filled with urgent messages, but to the people who maintain the freeways they are just litter.

anti-Bush freeway blogger charged with littering

The same littering charge would be applied against a private business who taped their signs to the freeway overpass. Its a simple fact that its against the law to post private signs on freeways.

You seriously think they send the FBI out every time someone is accused of littering?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oowolf', '2') spooks and 2 county deputies "interviewed" me this morning concerning my "freeway blogging" activities. As some of you know I've been arrested twice for putting up anti-bush (and his war criminal gang) signs. It is now a dead certainty that I'm on the Ministry of Homeland Security's "maincore" list. Slated for roundup to the nearest Halliburton concentration camp.
Let me tell you something; the FBI is very much aware of this website. Actually they were very nice guys to talk to. They appeared to be quite aware of the nearness of some calamity and listened quietly while I ranted on--apparently trying to determine if I really am dangerous. I had to promise not to put any more signs up after it was made VERY CLEAR that there would be unpleasant consequences if I did not.
This is the state of this nation folks.

Oowolf, it would help my perspective if I knew what your "blogs" stated. A simple statement of fact like "Some town in Texas lost their idiot" or where you proposing some unpleasant action?

Sorry to hear that Oowolf. It would be nice to hear what the agents had to say about PO, if you feel it is safe to talk about it of course.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', 'M')ost people with an IQ above 70 can't tolerate the Bushies either. FBI were just doing their job, but likely sympathize with you. Most military...same. If there comes a day where people are rounded up for criticizing neocons, the neocons are going to have to pick from a pool of the most obnoxiously stupid people in the world, to do the job. They may even have to import them from other countries.
I can just see it. You have two earnest pro-necon agents show up at your door to question you. You make sure you have a deep crust pizza handy, and Nascar races playing on television. Get them seated, then offer them a beer. They'll pretty much forget what they came to question you about.

Duh, I thought we were runn'n out of oil. maybe we should send the army to someplace where there is lots of oil to make sure we can get some. Duh, guess we did.

No he ain't slick wille, but he 'does what he says he gonna do', and if you have studied PO, it is what all the 'experts' said would happen. Armed intervention.
And yes, maybe we should have a special place for twits.

Usually simple easy to read, like "bush lied 4000 died" "war criminal bush" "impeach bush". Pretty innocuous stuff. I've been busted for criminal trespass (?) and "public nuisance--not for littering. In both instances I was merely given "warnings", but I did spend 2 nights in jail.
TPTB know big things start little. Think Rosa Parks. Ghandi made salt. Thoreau refusing to pay poll tax. It's called "civil disobedience".

My visitors seemed quite at ease with my opinions about an impending net export oil crisis, dollar collapse, and approaching anarchy. These guys probably have heard it all and were just trying to see if I'm some psycho plotting mayhem.
I have never made threats or advocated violence, but I have tried to get people to read authors like Derrick Jensen who like to contemplate the destruction of dams.

The FBI visits this site all the time.

So do most major law enforcement and military outfits around the world.

Centcom visits.

I knew some FBI guys who office in my building. Boy scouts everyone of em... With guns.

Sorry you had trouble, but if you're making threats or inciting any criminal activity, then yeah... They will wanna talk to you guy.

It's their job.

And you pay em to do it.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

The point of this thread is...all you have to do to be considered a potential menace is hang a few hand lettered protest signs out where TPTB don't want them. Why?

They knew my house has "bush sucks" painted on the roof--visible from outer space, I suppose. Heinie hates bush too, but probably not enough paint an insult on his roof.
