TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

From what I gather from this and the other coverage of this story, the guy and all his roommates were arrested and their belongings taken because he relayed some information from a police scanner to twitter.

I wonder if police cars have any central tracking system. Someone could hook it up to google earth or maps or something.

Yes. Because even though you can legitimately buy a police scanner and listen to it all the time publicly, you cannot post any of that information on the internet, because that makes you a terrorist.

Ehm,


1 - It is a legal requirement that a suspect has a trial before being called a criminal.
2 - One can be convicted for terrorism without a trial.
ergo
3 - Terrorism isn't a crime.

so stop acting surprised.

"Convicted" and "accused" mean two different things. You can be "accused" of anything, including terrorism, but you can't be "convicted" unless you have a trial. Unless our judicial system decided to go inquisition when I wasn't looking.

Either we're not getting the whole story (likely) or these guys went totally overboard (also likely) and should face sanctions.

A few years ago I came across an internet radio stream that broadcast the local police scanner live. I haven't been able to find it back again, though.

Are you thinking Iran = the US here?  Americans may have Patriot Acts and illegal wiretapping, extraordinary rendition and Gitmo, but I don't know, we're not Iran.

A major difference between the US and Iran is that Iran doesn't pretend not to be Iran.

To which hyperbolic statements I usually respond with: time for you to visit such a country in order to be able to make that comparison with credibility.

Are you saying that my local news doesn't give an accurate reporting of what life in Iran is like?
