Brandon Raub and the Thought Police

A judge has ruled that Brandon Raub should be released, below is a video message from John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute discussing the Ruab case before news broke that a judge ruled in Raub's favor.

Although it is a relief the judge ruled in Raub's favor, it remains chilling that local police, the FBI, the Secret Service and a magistrate all found no problem with the kidnapping of Raub, when he had committed no crimes and displayed no threat to anyone.

A judge has ordered the release of Brandon Raub who was detained for psychiatric evaluation after posting  anti-government messages on Facebook.

Prince George County Circuit Judge W. Allan Sharrett said at the end of a one-hour hearing that the involuntary commitment order issued by a magistrate against Raub was invalid because it contained no allegation or basis to hold him, according to the head of a civil liberties organization that represented the 26-year-old veteran.
