Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 27, 2012

Stephane Milan, an 18-year-old fromEvansville,Indiana, was watching the Food Network on the afternoon of June 21. Without warning, two flash-bang grenades were thrown into the house and a squadron of armored goons broke down the door.

Stephane and her grandmother Louise were hauled out of the home for questioning; computers and cell phones were confiscated. Neither of them had done anything wrong, and no arrests were made. The SWAT team had been deployed to arrest an unidentified individual who had posted what were described as ?specific threats? against the police in an online forum.

As Ira Milan commented, ?The front door was open. It?s not like anyone was in there hiding. To bring a SWAT team seems a little excessive.? This is especially true in light of the fact that the raid was conducted in response to an exercise in free speech by someone who apparently piggybacked the family?s Wi-Fi signal.

Yes, the department described the comments as ?threats? ? but the evidence, if any, to support that claim has been sealed. By targeting an address, rather than a suspect, the police committed an act of armed violence, rather than preventing one.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
