Sixteen-year-old Ashton Lundeby's bedroom in his mother's Granville County home is nothing, if not patriotic. Images of American flags are everywhere on the bed, on the floor, on the wall.
But according to the United States government, the tenth-grade home-schooler is being held on a criminal complaint that he made a bomb threat from his home on the night of Feb. 15.

This is what it's come to. Every person in the USA should see this. Your rights can be gone in a heartbeat. I don't know what that kid did or said. However, I would like to know what is so heinous that he can't be tried under other laws.
That would be Barry Obama's government that used Patriot to haul this kid off. I'm not sure why the fact that he's homeschooled matters, other than the press hates homeschooling, and DU doesn't think much of it, either.
Yes, OP, your rights CAN be taken away in one second. By Barry Obama, no less. You see, in order to have bombings endorsed bythe Messiah, you have to actually kill someone he hates. See Ayers, William.
You'd think DU would be squawking about this, since repealing the Patriot Act was their goal since John Kerry helped write it in 2001. Well..

2. I'm confused...
What do think is the correct response for calling a bomb threat? The patriot act is existing law btw.
Now that Barry can wield it, the Patriot Act is suddenly just fine.Wow.

10. We have only the mom's word that there is not due process. Not good enough for me.
Nothing against the mom, but she is not exactly an unbiased source of information. The only lawyer commenting was someone unconnected with the case. There is a gag order - not unusual for a case involving a minor - so reliable information is not going to be available to the public.
But when death row inmates declare their innocence, it's as good as DNA evidence to DU.
Hypocritical bastards, all of them.
