    I googled "lawrenceville weapons raid police" and when I clicked on the only seemingly pertinent link, I got a blank page save for the following at the top:

    LAWRENCEVILLE, Pa. —Investigators said a Facebook post led police to a home in Lawrenceville Wednesday where they found several dangerous weapons during a raid.

    Channel 11’s Alan Jennings reported the raid happened Wednesday about 5 p.m. at home on Foster Street.

    Investigators told Jennings that an individual glorified the shooting in Newtown, Conn. and the shooter in a Facebook post. Details about the post or individual have not been released.

    Inside the home detectives found several handguns, rifles and

    According to police, officers have been monitoring social media platforms more recently in hopes of tracking down crimes.
    I'm really curious about what the post said and how the police justified a raid off of just that.

    So he was raided for agreeing with someone? Granted, glorifying the shooter is pretty sick and twisted, but does this mean that I can't publicly agree with someone's illegal actions? It's not illegal to simply agree with a murderer's actions, nor is it grounds to raid a house.

    Here's an idea... and I have no evidence of this, it's purely speculation... But what if the LEO's that were monitering Facebook saw that he owned guns. Many of us make that fact known on Facebook. So they know he owns weapons, and they're simply looking, waiting for him to make a post that just might give them justification to seize his weapons. Perhaps this is how confiscation begins?

    Everyone's knickers are all bunched up over the hoopla concerning the actions of a sick individual, blaming the weapon used, etc., etc.

    If someone goes on the Internet commenting anything "out of the ordinary" concerning same, they will immediately be viewed as a potential threat to the community, hence the police activity.

    Basically, it's "your rights don't count, it's better to be safe than sorry." I'm not saying that's right, but that's reality.

    I'm glad you're not saying it's right, because that would make police far more dangerous than the Connecticut "sick individual."

    Yes, but why the "dead links". Or the suppressing of the story? If it is truly for the greater good?

    Anyhow thanks for the info.
