Face Book Arrests
I KNEW that was comin'.
"George Zimmerman is free after killing Trayvon Martin. But a Queens man is in jail for what he posted on Facebook in response to last week's not guilty verdict."
Subliminal Message: That's not fair - that's blatant disparity!! - You should be angry about that! - Join our cause!
Like a lot of people, 20-year-old Remel Newson was angry after a Florida jury found neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman not-guilty of murdering unarmed, black teenager Trayvon Martin.
So Newson went on Facebook and allegedly posted a status update saying blacks couldn't get justice, with the hashtag "killallwhites."
His post also said "let's kill cops nd neighborhood watcher," according to court documents.
At least six of his Facebook friends liked the post. But apparently the New York Police Department didn't.
On July 17, an NYPD officer monitoring Newson's Facebook page saw the post. Hours later, cops arrested Newson for —making a terroristic threat?? — a felony. And they searched his room where they found several joints leading to a marijuana possession charge.

Tasha Lloyd, the Legal Aid attorney representing Newson, said her client merely copied and pasted someone else's message.
—He in no way was trying to intimidate anyone or coerce anyone into doing any illegal act,?? Lloyd said. "He just was very upset with the Martin verdict.??
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH He was CHEATING!!!!
He didn't know how to type so he "copy/pasted" ever letter over his FB account..
I wonder if they are going to buy that one.

His command of the English language is incredible!

I was being tongue-in-cheek.🙂click to expand
Oh... well ok, you can put your tongue back in your mouth now..
The more I think about it, the more I wish there was a Depository for full factual news and not soundbytes. That would be like the raw footage.
The thing about this story is that blatant death threats were actually made. NOT ASSUMED.
They were not only directed at "neighborhood watchmen" which obviously referred to Zimmerman
but also at cops.
In short - that was stupid.
Interesting how it was labeled as a "Terroristic Threat".

It's the latest in a growing trend of police arresting people for what they post on Facebook.

Police arrested him for making a "terroristic threat" and say they found marijuana during during a search of his room.
