I would say he has some grounds for that assesment if you read the post/posts on the link provided…
The last post I saw on that thread made the most sense thought. "Some guy taking pictures, what's the big deal".

"Just some camera opposite the street, taking pictures of my house, what's the big deal"."Some guy taking pictures, what's the big deal".

Well if your attempting to sell your house - no big deal.
If it is the tax assesor - its a big deal - but its still legal.
If your house is of historical significance or of an age that makes it a historical artifact - again no big deal.
If its a part of a criminal investigation - still no big deal. Taking pictures regardless of the purpose is not a violation of one's rights unless it is done in conjecture (SP) of another illegal act. For instance being a peeping tom and taking pictures that way.
When one is in the public setting - one can expect that certain things will happen - because why - your in public.

Moi? I daresay I am not prejudiced, but am merely stating facts- one needs only look at the protestors or the persons posting in that thread to know that there were, indeed, a lot of what are known scientifically as 'kooks'.Speaking of prejudice and judgmental attitudes. Pot, meet kettle.

Everyone in that thread is a complete wackjob. The thread poster deserves to be in a straightjacket though.

There is a residual fear in the left of things like Project MINARET from the 60s and 70s. People are still afraid the FBI is photographing marchers and forming FBI files on them. Its not that strange, a friend of mine's mom has/had an FBI file because she was at a number of rallies in the 60s. Their fears are not totally unfounded.

Oh! Right then, so it is a good idea to beat up or threaten FBI Agents!
Yea! That will stop them form making files on us poor demonstrators!
Outstanding Logic!

'Tis the heart of America.
Possible dodgy internal security activities, popular paranoia and conspiracy theories, and hysterical and inappropriate nevermind bloody stupid reactions.
Yup, nothing seems to be missing.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

When did I say its was okay to want to hit the guy? And when did he actually hit the guy? Feeling anger and acting on it are two different things. And maybe it was a figure of speech? Ever thought of that?Oh! Right then, so it is a good idea to beat up or threaten FBI Agents!

What I'm saying is blocking the guy's ability to take pictures would make sense if you don't want and FBI file. If he really were a reporter wouldn't he just say "I'm from The Daily Newspaper I'm taking pictures for a story"?

Re: Hardcore Democrats Go Nuts Over Short-Haired Photographer
I disagree. They may claim they are FBI detectives but I don't buy that at all. And even if they are, I think their win conditions go against mine.Oh! Right then, so it is a good idea to beat up or threaten FBI Agents!
