None of this changes the fact that you are OK with someone being incarcerated against their will based on vague Facebook posts....

You even admitted it.

That makes you an enemy of freedom, pure and simple. You cannot derp your way out of that fact

its not official till you work at least one other buzz phrase in  "good american citizen" seems popular   as does "educate yourself!" though that does have an al jones flavor which may bother some   ymmv
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

the cops don't have the authority to commit him   they do get the order to pick him up.   hes fortunate in a way the secret service was nvolved  they handle lots of nuts. and are very good at doing it with no one getting hurt.  guy i had lunch with can testify.  he went over the fence at the white house in the waning days of bush the younger

did the guns, in their holsters, scare you guys?  all at once give you the vapors?  you get like that over open carry too? >:D

Funny you should say that ...

When open carry by private citizens became rare, people seem to have gotten the idea that because only police carried guns that a holstered gun carried an implied threat of "comply or else"  =|

I don't carry a sidearm to threaten anybody - well, unless you intend me harm.  ;)

So the question is:  who has authority to haul you to the looney bin for "evaluation"?  (I guess not quite full committment)
