confiscated bumper sticker

so is it a violation of free speech, or is it a weak death threat?

If this is a dupe.. lock it up, I searched and didn't find anything.

I think it might be construed as threatening. Not by me, but by the SS. Everything is a threat to them.

So, a liberal gets a taste of the thought police.

Someone here (or on pre-ban) crabbed to the SS and I thought they said that it had to be a more definite thread than a bumpers sticker

But Kjar didn't know that. He said the agent he contacted in response to a cryptic message left on his voice mail would not even say why he wanted to talk - only that he wanted to meet Thursday morning.
That's when Kjar began to cry. "I didn't know what the hell was going on," he said. "It made me so nervous."

Ha ha, tough guy pose in the picture, cried when the Secret Service called him

..."I kind of feel trapped, like I'm not allowed to express my opinions. I felt like my freedom of speech was shot to hell right there."

What a candy ass!
He cried when they said they wanted to meet?!
Grow a spine!
Jeez!

Feels like his freedom of speech has been taken away from him?!
Give me a break!
As if the Secret Service, FBI, CIA, etc. are NOT going to question people advocating the death of the president? Right, and I might win the lotttery!

When will these idiots learn?

Is that the offensive sticker in his hand?

What would he do if it was the other way around, on another car?

One can only imagine what the quiff-haired doofus would say if one of his neighbors had been caught with a bumper sticker with John Kerry on it, saying, "Off with King John's head...." or a pic of Bill Clinton with an axe over his head......

"That ain't right- them right wing whackos...."

It is an absolute violation of that pathetic little girlie-boy's freedom of speech to have confiscated that sticker and intimidated him in such a Big Brother-like manner. While I don't agree with the sentiment on the bumper sticker, I myself am not above placing a like worded bumper sticker about Hilary Clinton or Diane Feinstein on my vehicle. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I think this poser is lying through his inverted mullet. How, pray tell, does one "hand over" a bumper sticker that is attached to the car? Whole story sounds really made up to me. I do like the part about the poser crying. Classic.

This dolt has watched "SLC Punk!" either one time too many or one time too few.

Ha ha, I thought that too but couldn't remember the name of that film.

That boy has held a dick in his mouth... I'd say that is a safe bet.

[Seinfeld]Not that there's anything wrong with that.[/Seinfeld]

I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Nothing worse than a Democratic Peter Puffer.

"Potentially threatening" bumper sticker: "KING GEORGE - OFF WITH HIS HEAD"

John Kerry at a political rally earlier this week: "I thank you for the gift [of this shotgun], but I can't take it to the debate with me"

Double standard? You decide. I just keep imagining the reaction if it had been President Bush who made that quip.

"While direct advocacy of immediate violence can possibly be a crime, context is everything," Eyer [the local ACLU person]said. "Only someone who has never read the Declaration of Independence and never heard of King Louis XVI could have mistaken revolutionary war rhetoric for a criminal threat."

Anyone care to guess for how many folks (not members of this board) that is true? I'll bet it's a lot.
