Great news fellow orgers, those among us who live in the US of A have a brand new reason to celebrate- a vital blow has been struck by the authorities in their war against terror:
Matt Boyd, co-creator of the online strip Three Panel Soul, ran into a spot of trouble recently.
He was working as a contractor for a branch of the government. He made the mistake of being interested in the hobby of paper target shooting at about the same time as the VA Tech shootings and talking to someone about this hobby at work. Keep in mind he wasn’t even talking about those shootings, in fact he was discussing how he wanted a gun which would make it difficult to kill someone.
He was promptly fired and not allowed back to work because people were scared of him.
To top it all off, he was later visited by police detectives for making a comic about his experience, because it was a “borderline terroristic threat.” (Is “terroristic” even a word?)
link to the offending comic:
What next indeed, at this rate using this definition of terroristic threats we should be expecting a wave of arrests through the org, esp those members who keep inquiring about how to conduct a sucessful jihad.HTML Code:http://www.threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2007-04-30![]()
So now anyone who talks of even thinking about buying a low-powered,single-shot firearm suddenly becomes A Menace To All Around Him.By the way, for the record he was considering to purchase a 22 bolt-action rifle.
