Kentucky Man Arrested For "Terroristic Threatening" After Posting Song Lyrics To Facebook

Submitted by Michael Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
It seems as if the never-ending stream of American plebs being arrested for the most innocuous activities, things that were seen as completely normal just a few years ago, is continuing its irrational march forward toward peak nanny-statism, at which point everything will be criminalized. Apparently, being fascist cunts is okay in our society, but being a harmless citizen enjoying the rights pointed out by the constitution is double plus bad.
This disturbing trend has been a key topic for Liberty Blitzkrieg in 2014. Here are the three most recent absurd cases from July and August alone:
South Carolina Woman Arrested for Cursing in Front of Her Kids
The “Nanny States of America” – Mother Arrested for Allowing 7-Year-Old Son Walk to Park Alone
Connecticut Man Arrested for “Passive Aggressive” Behavior to a Watermelon
The latest incident involves a Kentucky man, 31-year-old James Evans, who was arrested and spent eight nights in jail for posting song lyrics to Facebook. No, this is not a joke. Local station 14News reported that:

Family members say Evans posted the following on Facebook on August 24:

“Student bodies lying dead in the halls, a blood splattered treatise of hate. Class dismissed is my hypothesis, gun fire ends in debate.”

The family says it’s lyrics from the song “Class Dismissed” by the band Exodus.

Mike Drake, the Muhlenberg County school resource officer, says multiple agencies received calls concerned about the post.

So Evans was arrested for terroristic threatening.

The warrant says Evans was arrested because, “he threatened to kill students and or staff at school.”

“Whenever we found out that he actually got arrested for lyrics, we were all shocked,” said Ashelynn. “We couldn’t believe that you could do that or get in trouble for that. I don’t personally agree with the band or the music but I agree that you should have the choice to listen to it if you want to.”

Maybe I’m missing something here, but how is posting lyrics equal threatening to “kill students and or staff at school.” Also, notice how the word “terrorist” is thrown into the charge. As I have said for years, the entire sham “war on terror” will be used to justify putting regular citizens in jail for pretty much anything.
Think eight nights in jail is more than sufficient for this non-crime? Think again. It appears Mr. Evans will be forced to undergo a mental evaluation.
While the lyrics in question certainly don’t leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, they pale in comparison to the lyrics I recall listening to growing up and which my classmates recited endlessly. After all, isn’t this supposed to be America. Aren’t we supposed to have a right to offend?
The band Exodus, which composed the song agrees. We learn from Consequence of Sound that:

In response to the incident, Exodus’ manager released a statement, explaining that while the “band does not promote or condone terrorists, threats or bullying,” they are “somewhat baffled by the fact that this man being charged for what seems against his first amendment rights of Freedom Of Speech.”

In a separate statement, guitarist Gary Holt explained that the song “was written as a view through the eyes of a madman and in no way endorses that kind of fucked up behavior. It was the Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho that was the subject and inspiration to write the song, one in which we put the brakes on playing it live after the Sandy Hook shooting, as we did not want to seem insensitive.”

Holt added, “As some of us in Exodus are parents, of course these things hit close to home; it’s every parent’s worst fear. These moments are the stuff of nightmares, and life, as well as music, isn’t always pretty. But when we start to overreact to things like lyrics by any band, including Exodus, and start arresting people, we are caving in to paranoia and are well on our way to becoming an Orwellian society.”

Good thing the terrorists didn’t win or anything…

Facebook Now the Debt Collector’s Best Friend

Why should divorce lawyers have all the fun? A Florida woman has filed a lawsuit against a debt collection agency for dunning her on Facebook. Her Facebook friends all got the message she was dodging her car loan.




Debt collectors use Facebook to find consumers

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act covers debt collection by any means

Debt collectors are limited in contacting anyone besides the consumer

Debt Collectors Find Consumers Easily on Facebook

This marks the first reported use of the virtual community to collect a real debt. It’s got me wondering, how safe are your Facebook credits from seizure? Could a debt collector make Facebook cough up 70 real cents (after its transaction fee) for every credit seized?



As we all know, Facebook’s a gold mine for divorce attorneys. Reports are many a custody or alimony dispute has turned on what’s been said, or what pictures have been posted, to a Facebook page. Attorneys counsel prospective litigants to keep it zipped, and monitor friends’ pages for unflattering material too.



Now that dunning has moved into social networks, are the laws that regulate debt collection up to snuff? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (pdf) regulates how and when debt collectors may contact the consumer who owes the debt and third persons. It covers communication by any means. It prohibits harassment and abuse, and prohibits contacting third persons without the consumer’s consent except in attempting to determine the consumer’s whereabouts.

Anything You Say on Facebook Can & Will Be Used Against You in a Court Of Law

Facebook may seem like a harmless hobby, but make no mistake: The blunders you post on the site can come back to haunt you.



In March, a Michigan man was charged with polygamy after he shared photos from his second marriage on Facebook. The wedding was a surprise to his first wife, from whom he was separated, but not divorced.


More recently, a Virginia court fined a widower and his attorney a combined $722,000 after trying to pull a fast one on the legal system. After a truck overturned and killed his wife, the widower filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the trucker and his employer. But when the defendant asked for a copy of the widower’s Facebook page as part of their discovery request, the widower and his lawyer deleted the widower’s account instead of producing it. (The offending page apparently showed the widower holding a beer while wearing a t-shirt that read “I [heart] hot moms.”)


With increasing frequency, people are finding that their Facebook posts can be used against them in the court of law.


Facebook has more than 800 million active users—and, on average, they upload 250 million pictures a day to the site. There are no estimates on how many of those pictures people regret uploading, but you can be sure it’s more than a few. The photos taken after a few too many drinks, the pictures that show people engaged in dangerous or even illegal behavior…anyone who’s been on Facebook for a while has seen those images.


But it’s not just the pictures that can get you in trouble. Maybe you’ve testified in court you were in one place at a particular day and time, but your Facebook page shows you checked in elsewhere. Maybe your child custody agreement limits how far you can travel with your kids, but you post a status update telling friends you’re taking them to Disneyland and their father can’t stop you. Maybe you’re asking for a no-fault divorce but there’s evidence on Facebook to suggest you were having an affair before separating from your spouse.



There are all sorts of ways in which Facebook can get you in legal trouble, or be used against you in a court case.



Mind Your Ps & Qs

At the California family law firm of Heath-Newton LLP, lawyers say that it’s more and more common for social networking sites to be used as evidence in divorce and child custody cases.


“We advise all of our clients to take the following five steps with their social media, particularly in child custody matters,” says Erik W. Newton, a partner at the firm. “Change all of your passwords so that your spouse or ex cannot log into your account. Double-check your security settings so that only friends can view your page (not friends of friends), and so that you are notified when someone tags a photo of you. Remove any unsavory or questionable photos, especially those depicting alcohol consumption or parties. Remove your Wall completely so that other Facebook friends cannot leave undesirable comments on your page. And emphasize pictures of your children.”



But locking down the security settings on your Facebook account isn’t always enough.



If, during the legal discovery process, the other side asks for access to your social networking accounts, you’re required the supply the information intact—preserved in the same state it appeared when you got the request (or even had reason to believe you might have gotten the request).



And make no mistake—it’s not just Facebook accounts that are cause trouble. Newton says judges are even starting to order couples to swap passwords for their online dating sites.



A recent Forbes article tells the tale of a divorcing Connecticut couple who was forced to exchange the log-in information for their Facebook, Match and EHarmony accounts.



According to the husband’s lawyer, his client had seen some possibly incriminating evidence on a shared computer that gave him reason to believe his soon-to-be-ex-wife might not be a fit parent for full custody of their children. The wife reportedly complied, but not before allegedly asking a friend to log onto her accounts and deleted some message. Needless to say, the judge apparently wasn’t pleased.



Remember when accounting firm Arthur Andersen got in trouble because it shredded evidence in the Enron scandal? Deleting or editing your online activity if you know it’s could be used against you in a lawsuit is no different. In other words, don’t expect to be able to clean up your act after the fact.

Once FACEBOOK has you, it's forever...and ever and ever.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The topic of online privacy is something we hear about all the time -- especially when it comes to Facebook.



If you have a Facebook profile, you know there are all kind of different settings and choices you can make to customize your personal level of privacy; but are those tools working how you want them to?


HOW TO: Download & Explore Your Facebook Archive

BLOG: Employers Rights Vs. Your Right To Privacy


What does your on-line profile say about you? What would your employer – or prospective employer – learn if they went online and looked at your Facebook page?



A Xenia, Ohio Burger King employee lost his job when he celebrated his 25th birthday by getting naked and taking a bath inside a sink used to clean the restaurant's kitchen utensils. He compounded his poor judgment by posting a video of his bubble-bath on his MySpace page.


Surely you have more sense than that. You would delete unsavory pictures and illicit posts before you went on a job interview, or if you learned your employer would be looking at your social media pages. But here in Ohio you can't delete your way out of your messy social media life. It is legal in Ohio for employers, employment agencies and labor unions to ask you to surrender your personal password, and as we learned in a recent experiment, your password can open your entire history to inspection and judgment.

I went on Facebook and found a volunteer who was willing to give us her password. Using that password, local attorney Sara Jodka went to work. In the interest of full disclosure, Sara and I are colleagues at Porter Wright. You should also know that Sara advises her clients who are employers against asking for personal passwords during the hiring process. What she uncovered demonstrates the exposure you face if you surrender your password.


Using the volunteer's password, Sara was able to access every item the volunteer posted on her Facebook wall since the day she signed on – in December 2007. She was able to see every picture and every video the volunteer posted, every ad she ever viewed, a list of all her current and deleted friends. What I found most surprising, however, is that even the private messages to single individuals that the volunteer had typed into a pop-up message box were available for viewing. We printed out more than 200 pages of conversations the volunteer believed to be private – even those she thought were deleted. If an employer has your password all of this information will be at their fingertips.


Ohio Senator Charleta Tavares calls it an invasion of privacy. She has re-introduced a bill that stalled in the legislature last year that would make it illegal for an employer, an employment agency or a labor union to ask you to surrender your personal passwords. It is vital to note that the Tavares bill would not ban employers from looking at your social media pages, it would merely deny them access to the password that opens to examination your hidden files, deleted items and history. Tavares says employers have a legitimate right to examine the pages that you have open to the rest of your on-line connections. It's especially relevant, for example, to exclude people with sexually explicit and inappropriate language from working with children.


Sara Jodka points out that the passwords are also relevant in certain legal disputes. For example, a worker claiming debilitating injuries that made it impossible for him to lift heavy objects was found to have posted pictures of himself weight-lifting.


Our volunteer was shocked at how much private information we were able to uncover – especially her private conversations dating back to 2007. It's all readily available thanks to a new Facebook access program that lets you download your entire history. Anyone can do it if they simply have a Facebook account and know the password. If you are curious about your own on-line history and what it might reveal to an employer, the director of NBC4i.com, Denise Yost, has prepared instructions that will let you download information about your Facebook account. You can access the instructions here. Additionally, I authored a post for a legal blog examining where your right to privacy ends and the employers' right to screen applicants begins. You can find it here.

Our volunteer vows to never have another private conversation on Facebook. Are you re-examining your on-line habits? Experts have always said you should not post anything on social media that you don't want your grandmother to see. You might want to also think about how your online posts would be viewed by your employer. And, don't get me started on what all this might mean in divorce court.

Facebook is "truly a dream come true" says CIA deputy director Christopher Sartinsky in Congressional testimony

data mining via Facebook as a vetting reality

On Friday, Mark Zuckerberg and his fellow Facebook founders reaped the benefits of the company’s stock offering — but it’s Facebook’s users whose lives have truly been transformed in the last five years, as the little company that could became a global behemoth, one that in many cases knows more about you than you know about yourself.




The good news: People start relationships, find jobs, keep in touch with family members, learn new skills and figure out what products to buy, all thanks to an unprecedented and exhilarating ability to connect.



But Facebook has a dark side as well. The permanent, indelible record of people’s posted triumphs and foibles — photos, reflections and opinions people often presumed to be semi-private when they revealed them to family and friends — increasingly come back to haunt them.



Employers, law enforcement officials, landlords, lovers, spouses, stalkers, universities and other third parties make judgments about us based on what we post. For some of us, our online selves now matter more than our offline selves.



According to a study sponsored by Microsoft, 75% of companies now require human resource officials to check out a job applicant’s online presence before making a job offer. An April 2012 study by CareerBuilder found that one-third of the hiring managers who looked at a person’s online profile found a reason not to hire him or her — for example, photos of perfectly legal behavior such as a woman wearing provocative clothes or drinking alcohol.



A 24-year-old high school teacher from Atlanta took a summer vacation in Ireland and Italy and posted 700 photos. The teacher was forced to quit her job because of vacation photos that showed her sampling a beer during the Guinness factory tour and drinking wine in Italy.



And when, earlier this month, a Virginia worker was fired for “liking” his boss’s competitor on Facebook, a judge held that “likes” weren’t protected by the First Amendment.



In a troubling trend, more and more employers are asking job applicants for their Facebook passwords, so they can view what people post on their private pages and perhaps even see who their virtual friends and acquaintances are. Other prospective employers “shoulder surf,” making the job applicant log in to view his private page over his shoulder.



By peeking at an applicant’s posts and photos, employers do an end run around federal employment laws. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits an employer from asking a job applicant if she is planning to get pregnant. Yet she might have posted, “Getting married in July, thrilled to be starting a family.”

Facebook set to lift ban on under-13s joining social network site

The intel agencies want inside the minds of children, as well as adults, and FB is the kind of SN that people use to reveal their intentions, desires, thoughts, feelings, and social mores. Data mining children allows them to profile earth's young at an early age to discern who is trending to what kind of adult pattern.  It's what they are after.

Of course the devils want inside the minds of children. They do it all the time with SRA and mind control. This gives it to them on a planetary wide scale.

UPDATED: 07:31 EST, 20 May 2012

Facebook looks set to relax a ban on children using its site in a move that could see millions more sign up.



A senior employee of the company said the decision to lift the restriction could come about after admitting a large number of under 13-year-olds join up anyway.

Facebook Class Action Lawsuit Seeks $15 Billion for Privacy Violations

The CIA is all about INVADING your privacy. Of course they are tracking every little thing you do, on the web and in real life. It's what they do. Track and control. It's the very substance and nature of the Beast System. By tracking and controlling, you ensure obedience.

That...that is the New World Order. Obedience to evil...

...or else!

-------------

A class action lawsuit filed against the social networking giant combines 21 lawsuits from across the country. Separately, a German official has also expressed concerns about Facebook's privacy approach as well.


A class action lawsuit filed against Facebook in California is seeking a whopping $15 billion in damages for privacy violations tied to the tracking of Web users.



The suit, which was filed by law firm Stewarts Law US, combines 21 privacy lawsuits filed against the social network in more than a dozen states into a single legal action. The case stems from accusations made in September 2011 that Facebook tracks user activity even after people have left the site.



According to Stewarts Law, the $15 billion figure was arrived at using statutory damages set by the federal Wiretap Act, which allows for damages of $100 per day per violation for each user, up to a maximum of $10,000. The lawsuit also claims Facebook violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Stored Communications Act, various California statutes and California common law.



"This is not just a damages action, but a groundbreaking digital privacy rights case that could have wide and significant legal and business implications," David Straite, partner at Stewarts Law, said in a statement.



Facebook did not respond to a request from eWEEK for a comment.



Facebook has been under the microscope during the past few years, both in the U.S. and abroad in regards to its privacy controls and policies. Last year, for example, a German data protection agency expressed concern about Facebook's use of facial-recognition technology for tagging photos and threatened to fine the social network for unauthorized data collection.



On May 18, German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung quoted Thilo Weichert, the data protection commissioner for the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, as saying Facebook shareholders should be aware that regulations being considered by European privacy authorities could cause Facebook's business model to "implode."



According to a recent study by Consumer Reports, an estimated 13 million Facebook users in the United States either do not use—or are unaware of—the site's privacy controls. Additionally, 28 percent of the people the magazine polled said they share either all or almost all their Facebook posts with people beyond their "friends." In addition, only 37 percent of users say they have used the site’s privacy tools to limit how much information apps are allowed to see.



"Facebook really is changing the way the world socially communicates and has become a successful service in part by leveraging copious amounts of personal data that can be spread far wider than its users might realize," Jeff Fox, Consumer Reports technology editor, said at the time in a statement.



"Our investigation revealed some fascinating, and some disquieting trends—but ones always worth knowing for consumers who wish to keep their personal data under better control."



As of May 2012, Facebook claims more than 900 million users.

'Deleted' Facebook photos still viewable THREE YEARS later

Deleted Facebook photos don't disappear but can still be accessed by anyone with a link to the images themselves.


The company admits that its systems 'do not always delete images in a reasonable period of time.'



The news is liable to be a shock to users who've relied on the delete function to remove embarrassing photos from office parties or nights out.

Deleted images vanish from 'normal' views of the site - ie if you log in to Facebook and look on somebody's photo page, they won't be visible - but remain visible to anyone with a direct URL link to the picture.

That means that if, for instance, a picture has been circulated by email, the image will still be there for anyone who clicks the link.

Facebook has repeatedly promised to 'fix' problems with the systems it uses to remove photographs, after users pointed out that images tended to persist after deletion.

Not all deleted pictures are affected, but a significant percentage.



Technology site Ars Technica reports that a picture of a naked toddler supposedly 'removed' in 2008 was still visible as of February 2012.

Site readers reported campaigns of harassment using supposedly 'deleted' pictures.

Facebook has been repeatedly informed of the problem, but the company's line has always been that it is being fixed
