Myspace Threat... (lol)
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/20...tm?POE=TECISVA This is hilarity. Another proof of the general meaningless of Myspace. Tons of people spouting out nonsense, and then someone gets called on it because she crossed the line. Good riddance. And kudos go out to the secret service for doing the above and beyond in this. Kinda creeps you out that they check Myspaces though. I guess no stone is left unturned. Thoughts, reactions? Jam it back in, in the dark. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

GEORGE BUSH IS A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT BECAUSE I AM AN INFORMED YOUNG WOMAN AND I KNOW POLITICS BECAUSE DADDY YELLS AT THE TV AFTER A FEW BEERS. Honestly, as if these out-of-principle pubescent anti-Bush "threats" aren't enough, they're actually getting a reaction from the government - What the hell? What's more is that people probably get sent to government-sponsored "holiday camps" for less.
Also, her laptop is far too fucking good for what she uses it for. srsly, any fourteen-year-old-girl who prioritises Myspace and "wants" to kill the president doesn't deserve that kind of machine. geez There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Good to know the Secret Service hates Bush as much as I do.
Seriously. The "threat" was made last spring and they only follow up on it now? God job, guys. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ![]() |
Making girlies cry is a great way to use tax money, I must say.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I heard rumor of something like this happening when I was in high school. Some kid wrote some paper about... how to kill the/a president (I'm hoping it was humourous) I think, and he got pulled out of class and questioned.
I understand their concern at least, as silly as it sounds in the long run. I was speaking idiomatically. ![]() |
Okay. So it's a felony. I got that. But I AM SURE that they figured "O look. A school girl who hardly knows her ass from her elbow when it comes to politics. She broke the law, yes. But I am sure she was unaware of it. And I also can not STAND the fact that they showed up AT HER SCHOOL, yanked her from class, and interrogated her without the presence of a parent. Way to veto that bill, assholes. Seriously, though. It seems like it was an attempt to scare people shitless. Overkill ++ What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Holy Chocobo |
Whatever happened to freedom of speech and peaceful protest?
FELIPE NO |
+1 +
This is inexcusable. At the MOST, ask the kid and parents and gauge their "threat"...wtf yanking her from class!! What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? ![]() [ SCHWARZE-5 - Helger Collins ]

And it's not their first time doing that, if my story is true. And I think that was back while we still had Clinton. I wonder what other stories there are like this? Lawl.
I don't think she'd do anything, I'm more worried about grade school students hurting classmates than the president with his leet security guards, but I suppose if she was able to encourage the right person... Hahaha. Oh well. I hate MySpace. Jam it back in, in the dark. ![]() |
I think this was part of Bush's great "strategery" to protect americans.

Hmmm... Interesting look into how slow the Secret Service is to threats on MySpace.
I am glad I live in Canada... then worrying about President Bush and the Secret Service is more limited. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

LOL FAG! |
Nice to see the american government dont just see muslims, islams etc as a threat anymore. 14 year old caucasian white girlies are killers too you know.
No one is above the law, what she did was a little extreme, making a picture of her stabbing bush in the hand, I mean no one likes bush, but doing that kind of stuff is a little silly. Its like saying bomb while on a mobile phone or running around looking panicked in a tube station, its just asking for trouble. Oh and what she did was not peaceful protest, it was a very hostile, but unfounded security issue. I was speaking idiomatically. ![]() |
Commenting on the article itself, there's something about "real danger" and "checklist" that doesn't add up. If there's a possibility of a "real danger" shouldn't it like... become a priority and not just some number on a checklist?
There must just be that many "real dangers" out there. So many that I just cannot comprehend. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? ![]() |
I think that the secret service response in this case was a little disproportionate to the actual threat, and to the capacity of the girl to carry out that threat. In essence, I agree with Sassafrass, but I'm still not surprised by the actions that were taken. I don't agree with the nature of those actions, but that isn't the same thing. The girl did break the law, we shouldn't forget that.

If I remember correctly, when I was that young I was politically and socially retarded. But at least before I'd jump to conclutions I'd look more into what I was ranting about. I am in no way defending Bush but how much of an idiot do you have to be to post something that says "Kill Bush" on the internet, in the public eye mind you, that you won't get in some sort of trouble for it? They shouldn't have pulled her out of class either and at the least without a parent or some adult figure present. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

What? How is this bad? Do we not get that channel? How ya doing, buddy? |
At least she was questioned in nations like the United States.
In places less tolerable to such dissent, there would've been harsher consequences. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
They were probably threatening her because she was using myspace. I say these measures should be followed up with beatings. Its the only way we can reclaim the internet for what its really for. Copious amounts of porn.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ![]() |
Big no no. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ![]() |
I could have sworn the right to free speech and expression was protected in the First Amendment.

I can say you're a fucking piece of shit. You can kick my ass for it.
You can say you're gonna kill the president. The secret service can come out and question you for it. You can say whatever you want. But dont expect to not take responsibility for it. You have freedom of speech. But some things are going to cause a negative reaction. EDIT: Though, I still think what they did to the girl is fucking retarded. The girl may be an idiot but way for them to over react. Like she could really act on what she says on the net. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
Stuff goes here~

No, I can't kick your ass for calling me a name. That would be assault. The protections of the President violate the First Amendment, and there's no way around that fact.

Okay, so that was a pretty crappy example. But I was still trying to show that saying something that's obviously going to cause a negative reaction under the notion that free speech is going to protect you fully from any harm isn't really smart.

Does this even really matter. I mean it's not like she's out to kill Clinton, so who really gives a shit.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
