There but by the whim of the State goes YOU
Dick Eastman
He’s 18 and lives in a small town outside Boston. He wants to be a rapper and calls himself “Cammy Dee” in his YouTube videos. He has been locked up without bail for weeks — facing terrorismcharges and 20 years in prison — all for lyrics he posted on Facebook calling the Whitehouse a “federal house of horror.” The Marathon Bombing was merely mentioned. Shortly after that he was arrested and charged with Communicating a Terrorist Threat, a felony that carries 20 years in prison.
The post contained no specific threat of violence against any person or group of people, and in the context of the rest of the lyrics and Cams’ rap persona, it was clearly nothing more than a metaphor. A search of Cam’s house found NO evidence that he was planning any violence, but a judge still ordered him held without bail for the next 3 months, pending trial.
A search of Cam’s house found no explosives, weapons, or ANY evidence that he was planning anything other than becoming the next Eminem.
Take a minute to watch the video of one of Cam’s songs http://youtu.be/-wbJTHkdBMc and decide for yourself whether you think he’s a threat to public safety, or just a teenager speaking his mind.
Cam is locked up right now and he needs your help. Civil liberties groups haven’t jumped in to help. The judge has shown severe bias already. Cam’s best shot at justice is to make sure that Authorities in this small town know that the rest of the country is watching, and that we won’t let them set a precedent of arresting teenagers for angsty lyrics.
If that was the case, there would be no free “people of color!” Every song is steeped in violence and hatred of women and these would ALL be crimes,if this judge, JUDGED PROPERLY. Like so many in authority, this guy must be retired from dealing with the public and put out to pasture NOW!
And the Nazis were different how?
5 War Veteran You need to shut up if you value your life. Take your family to Hawai and take a Vacation there for your peace of mind
HA!! and this is just for those who insist on living in their fairytale land thinking they still have any god*amn rights in this place….YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LIBERTY TO SPEAK HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR SURROUNDINGS ANYMORE…period. so whenever you doubt that fact again in the future, you have this plus many more examples to bring you back to reality…smh.
and sooner than later they will be swarming bloggers such as us as well…you think youre safe bcuz youre behind a computer screen?? lol….man will you be rudely mistaken. so bow out now if youre afraid of what man can do to you….cause please believe, if you are standing up for your God given rights as a human being, you will become a target for each and everyone who feels like you don’t deserve them.
have a seat now, or stand strong until the end…ijs.
Uh Nick,
He IS locked up for at least 3 months. So will be many more soon enough as the US government continues it’s criminal activities. We no longer have the rights we had three years ago. Welcome to the USSA please get used to NAZI protocol activities.
Never discount that the wealthy Zionist Elite financed both sides of the war that exterminated millions. 21 million Russians 3 million Jews and untold numbers of others.
For the Nay sayers: learn your history.
So much for the first, fourth, and fifth amendments. Say goodbye to the US Constitution.
He cant be locked up. He has the right to freedom of speech… well untill Barak came in and took that away from us. Freaking kenyan..
Barack is a PUPPET- just like the rest before him.
so despite his faults, he is just following orders & those that are really in charge, they are WHITE- not Kenyans.
I have to agree in so much that Jews are white.
Not all Jews are white LOL.
Nick, by our laws, yes, you are right…He can’t do it…but he ignores all of our laws.
I DO HOPE a lawyer steps up to take this on for this kid. He does NOT deserve this and needs help!
Elaine, the ACLU doesn’t help straight White men.
I can’t stand rap. And for a White boy to stoop so low as to mimic the hooting and hollering sounds of jungle savages is an insult to his ancestors. But to lock the guy up under such charges for freedom of speech? That’s a BIG NO-NO in my book.
I certainly do NOT like it that you are right…..but you are!
The last good thing they did was push for the Miranda Act…they have done squat since then.
About 3 years ago, they raised their hands waving to “protect” the poor little illegals when they were put in jail to be deported..
I emailed their address out viral.
They stepped back!
They are totally useless now when it WOULD COUNT.
I do know you are right….I hate it….but I do know you are right.
Where is the ACLU now?
He’s White! If a black rapper said those lyrics…nothing would have happened to him!
That is SO True; and that is tragic for all of us.
