I believe in personal freedom. If my opinions don’t match those of the lowing herd as seems to be preferred by the government, tough beans. The United States is “we the people”. The United States is not the federal government. Of course, if I live in a subdivision I understand not being able to blow things up or shoot rifles in the back yard. If I am living in the boonies it’s nobody’s business what I blow up behind the house.

The choices are: (1) be sheep, (2) complain loudly but non-violently, (3) use violence against the government. # 3 is almost certain to fail and, if it ever succeeded, would probably just result in a worse situation (e.g. look at the Russian Revolution). # 1 is unacceptable to those who see as we see – so we vent and rant – which may, many years from not, improve things.

#1 How and why was she talking to an ATF agent?
My guess is her Facebook profile. Facebook is a nice tool of collecting personal info for government and law enforcement agencies. It’s a dream for any government, they don’t have to collect any data, people give it freely themselves. I think, they’ve busted Gangs using facebook.

#2 What is she using to blow things up? If they tracked her from facebook and she says she likes to blow things up, is an anarchist, white, hates the government, and writes “”I am not one for selective targeting but mass destruction.”, of course they are going to target her for further investigation.

#3 Are Pipe bombs illegal?

Here’s my opinion. They saw her facebook page, decided to investigate further and she told ATF agent she likes to blow things up, when he asked what’s to do in Georgia. They probably thought she was a piece to a bigger puzzle and raided her house and found she was small time and really liked blowing things up for recreation; even though she knew it was illegal to manufacture the devices as she admitted.

Seems to me she’s guilty of stupidity.

We can also say the laws are stupid but I think we’re all aware how Big Brother operates and openly declaring on Facebook, the governments data collector, that you’re blowing things up, is not too smart, if you know pipe bombs are illegal.

So, Mr. Holland she was not arrested simply for declaring her beliefs. Yes, she was targeted, but she was arrested for breaking the law.

Gunrack, I mean. “When an ATF agent asked Savage what there was to do in Cornelia, Georgia, she said ‘Blow things up'”. IIIIIIIIIIIII like it!

She also endangered everyone’s freedom (by distrusting our government, the source of all our “rights”). The church she goes to probably hates homosexuality – HATE CRIME!!! I bet she might eat French Fries or drinks Big Gulps so Bloomberg may have to ship her to Gitmo.

Ever hear the nonsense how “the troops” fight for our freedom when they blow up some 51 year old bucktoothed Pushtun warlord? What complete nonsense. Our liberties are being restricted by our own homegrown bureaucratic Gestapo. Pogo: “We have met the enemy and it is us.”

One of my dire predictions has come true – I predicted that the “E-Z-Pass” that is used on the toll roads would be used to automatically hand out speeding tickets. Yep, if you go from Burtonsville to Gaithersburg in 9 minutes, it costs $ 3 toll but do it in 8 minutes, and its $ 53! Hell, why not ticket people who THINK about speeding or object to automated speeding tickets even if they don’t drive! Heck, jail the whole damn country!!

The little widget that lists mutual friends told me so.
She’s a very attractive young woman, and I’m not talking about looks. I didn’t even glance at her photos. Any woman who blows things up for fun and distrusts the government is by default attractive.

So the bastion of democracy, the USA, lacks that very quality of which they boast and wage wars for. thanks for this interesting and necessarily revealing case. I believe that in Holland this case would have hardly got much attention. There are lots of folk who have óther ídeas ‘here.’ Luckily mostly ignored until some irregular action happens.

[It’s always good to get perspective from readers outside the enormous US bubble. THANKS.]
