The Brandon Raub Facebook Posts. Why was he detained?

Brandon Raub is a Marine veteran who was detained last week by the FBI due to some supposedly questionable Facebook comments about the government. His detention (not arrest) has sparked a flurry of activity on the net, with the blogs and message boards abuzz over why Big Brother illegally detained him.

Some say it is because of his 9/11 conspiracy views. Some say because of his inflammatory comments about the government. Like Mr. Raub's Facebook page, which can still be viewed here, the internet is full of millions of blogs, facebook pages, and other websites containing Alex Jones like talking points about the New World Order, 9/11 conspiracy theories, and anarchist ideology in general. After taking a look at Brandon Raub's Facebook wall, it is a little easier to understand why he was detained. Judge for yourself.
In a post James Holmes world, you can bet the government is watching what you say.

I can't say I agree with the government detaining Brandon Raub. But after reading his comments, is there any doubt that maybe he was planning something? Maybe he was just another nutjob with crazed ambitions of being some sort of cult/revolutionary leader, but maybe he actually had something planned. I can definitely see both sides to this issue. Was Brandon Raub just a patriotic veteran or a crazed wannabe cult leader? The posts are there. You decide.

Moral of the story...it isn't a good idea to post everything you're thinking on Facebook. They're watching.
