[QUOTE="texan, post: 1012140, member: 38206"] [B]Ex Marine detained for Facebook Post A Marine turned conspiracy theorist who was detained for psychological evaluation after posting rants on Facebook. He has since been ordered to remain in a mental facility for at least 30 days. His laywer said: For government officials to not only arrest Brandon Raub for doing nothing more than exercising his First Amendment rights but to actually force him to undergo psychological evaluations and detain him against his will goes against every constitutional principle this country was founded upon. This should be a wake-up call to Americans that the police state is here.” The former Marine who was detained by the federal government over Facebook posts critical of the government is being held in a psychiatric ward, Peter Bacqué of the [I]Richmond Times-Dispatch[/I] reports. “I’m currently in John Randolph in the psychiatric ward being held against my will,” Brandon Raub said in a telephone interview with the [I]Times-Dispatch[/I]. “[Authorities] were concerned about me calling for the arrest of government officials.” Raub noted that he has been [URL='http://www.businessinsider.com/brandon-raub-marine-911-detained-2012-8']raising questions about 9/11[/URL] and signed a petition to reopen investigation of the terrorist attacks. I really love America, and I think that idea that you can be detained and sent somewhere without due process and a lawyer … is crazy,” Raub said. Raub told the [I]Times-Dispatch[/I] that he served as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2005 to 2011, was a combat engineer sergeant and does not own a gun. His mother said he returned from Afghanistan about a year ago and does not have PTSD.
