Secret Service interrogates Tacoma 7th grader for a Facebook post - Polidicks

What a waste of their resources. Don't they realize they hit a [b]FUCKING DEBT CEILING[/b] yesterday? This is even more of a waste then taking an 8 year old away from her family because of some botox.

-snip- i'm dumb

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the asshats had SWAT guys waiting outside

All he has to do is investigate why people are losing their limbs on machines that the United States Government is using.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29896904]We need forum cancer here[/QUOTE] their "forum cancer" system is hilarious. basically, if you post in a certain sub-forum (BYOB I think, equivalent to OIFY), you get forum cancer. it changes your avatar and make your posts partially transparent. the one way to get rid of it is to pay $10 for a "vaccine" or something like that.

This shit confuses me to no end. How many thousands of violent claims and threats are made on a DAILY or HOURLY basis on the internet? How many are acted on? Almost non, this is very, very, rare. Yet a child is literally questioned by a secret service agent for a quote that any functioning person would realize is actually a concerned post and not a threat? How the fuck do these agencies decide which cases to investigate and which cases not to, a fucking giant dartboard with everyone's name on it?

Much like drug laws.

"I was saying how Osama was dead and for Obama to be careful because there could be suicide bombers," says LaPinta. This is clearly a concerned message, not a threat. I have to reiterate how stupid you have to be to mistake one for the other.

No one actually knows what the message he posted was

I was just curious to see if there was actually bad wording involved that may have looked like a threat like, [i]"Obama better be careful for those suicide bombers now that Osama's dead,"[/i] or something. (Bonus points if I'm 100% spot on with the message..:v:)

[QUOTE=The golden;29897704]There is nothing a 7th grader can say that warrants interrogation from the Secret Service..[/QUOTE] most 7th graders are 13 years-old or so most 13 year-olds don't shit rainbows and sunshine

[QUOTE=Sanius;29891028]you're probably mentally retarded if you can't tie your shoes by 7th grade this whole story is silly. interrogating a 7th grader at all sounds completely unnecessary[/QUOTE] Woah woah I didn't know how to tie mine until 10th grade, you dick.

[QUOTE=The golden;29897983]Sure they might smoke dope or bust up a few windows or some shit, but why the fuck would a 13 year old be involved in "terrorism"?[/QUOTE] I'm guessing you're an upper-middle class white suburban kid if you honestly think that a 13 year-old isn't capable of messed up shit

I think people who post in OIFY should get forum cancer forever

okay let me rephrase that then you must be pretty naive if you think that 13 year-olds aren't capable of messed up shit

brb posting this on facebook

[QUOTE=beanhead;29898333]brb posting this on facebook[/QUOTE] I hope you realise that people can easily report you to the FBI if you say that you're going to kill the president. It's not funny at all

[QUOTE=Shibbey;29890966]A 7th grader? I mean, when you walk into a classroom full of kids, you don't really see many people old enough to be criminal masterminds. Hell, I doubt the kid can even tie his shoe laces properly.[/QUOTE] You are definitely exaggerating the dumb of 7th graders [editline]17th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sanius;29898004]I'm guessing you're an upper-middle class white suburban kid if you honestly think that a 13 year-old isn't capable of messed up shit[/QUOTE] I'm guessing you live in Afghanistan

Hahaha they took that as a threat in the same way you'd take a stereotypical mafia threat "Ya know it'd uh, it'd be a shame if someone who JUST SO HAPPENED to have a bomb just uh, I don't know, blew up that president? Capiche?"

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29898013]I never post in the OIFY and only post in FT like once a month so yeah[/QUOTE] I believe he was saying your a shit poster. Just a guess.

Just more proof that people who claim the CIA, FBI etc don't read your Facebook posts aren't actually nutjobs.

I'm sure a 13 year old kid that was raised in a 3rd world country with a mental disorder would have no trouble blowing himself up, but a suburban 13 year old like this Vito LaPinta [b]is not[/b] someone who would have any reason or ability to blow himself up.

...what the fuck does suicide bombing have to do with anything?

Do you have trouble with reading or just getting called out on being stupid?

This is how your tax money is being spent.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;29899098] They investigated him because they thought there was a possibility he would be a suicide bomber. [/QUOTE] Where does it say anything about suicide bombing? I wasn't even specifically talking about the kid anyway, so you're pretty much being a huge dick by butting into the conversation like that.
