Office Freeper claims phone Pimp and friends just 'pranking' no big deal

[DainBramaged]

I walked straight to his desk and asked how this little pimp was going to handle jail as a skinny white boy.

No big deal, they'll get off with a slap on the wrist, nobody goes to jail for wearing bad clothes or visiting a Senator's office, you Libs are just blowing this out of proportion.".


The part about bad clothes cracked me up, I had to just walk away.

1. Tell it to the judge.

:smoke:

[hlthe2b]

2. Perhaps he should be willing to do the same to prove his point

Maybe we should encourage all Freepers onto taking on the FEDs to prove their point. After all, they will just get a slap on the wrist, right? :eyes:

[newscott]

3. Do they still execute people for espionnage?

[jtuck004]

4. And Oliver North was just cleaning out his garage...

[WeDidIt]

5. nobody goes to jail for wearing bad clothes or visiting a Senator's office

But people do go to prison for committing espionage (listening devices found) and conspiracy to commit espionage.

[dbonds]

6. Crime is a crime whether it was a prank or not.

[laughingliberal]

26. Would be interesting to know his thought if someone 'pranking' burned down his house

or his car. Hilarious! If it's a prank it's legal.

[Beaverhausen]

7. If this happened in a repubs office, would he say it's all a prank?

[bunkerbuster1]

15. ...say, one year into Bush's first term?

By a guy named "Muhammad?"

[Bitwit1234]

8. I also heard that -

the people on the news said it was just a prank. So if we walk into say rush's office dressed as a telephone repair man, take the phone, unscrew it and then get asked for ID, we can say OH OH OH this is a prank and expect to walk out...hell try it somebody.

[DainBramaged]

9. "Prank" is the talking point apparently, how could a lowlife

like my guy at work actually think for himself?

[Lasher]

10. Well he's right about one thing.

They'll get off with a slap on the wrist. Wait and see.

[EFerrari]

11. That's what they said about Americans torturing innocent people. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Yeah. They had a serious fetish for phone company clothing.

No big deal, right?

[VirtualCover]

13. The same people who tried to say Watergate was only a 'caper'

This story isn't going away.

[ddeclue]

14. Federal laws were broken: Conspiracy, Espionage, Sabotage, Fraud, and Wiretap

Tell your asshole friend that these boys are going to jail for a long long long long time.

[DainBramaged]

16. Not until they learn to SING

[The_Commonist]

17. Boys will be boys!

And yet, I'll bet O'Keefe ends up like Jeffrey Dahmer...

[EmeraldCityGrl]

18. Pulled this comment off a local blog...

"It is a crime to enter a Federal Building with the intent to modify and attach surveillance devices to federally operated telecommunications equipment. As a former Fortune 500 and County Communications Manager I can tell you these boys could have had access to EVERY Federal communications line. DEA, FBI, ATF, ICE, IRS, US Attorney (irony there), et al - in short EVERY connection that would have enabled a significant reduction in the State and the Country's ability to protect you and me. This is a serious breach, by definition a felony, but could be prosecuted under the Patriot Act. One kid's father is an Attorney. He obviously imbued his child with a sense of right and wrong, huh?

If this entry happened on MY watch, every system, every phone, every record could have been destroyed by accident or design. This is no prank but a serious attack upon the integrity of Mdme. Landrieu's office, her staff, and the Federal Government. Imagine what a drug cartel an now consider? What a stupid thing to do in a time of war. Hmmm, treasonous on its face? As a retired Comm Manager those are the first suppositions I make about these yahoos."

Perfectly stated.

[Hello_Kitty]

19. Let me get this straight: The ACORN "sting" was ZOMG SERIES!!

But being caught wiretapping a Senator's office is "just a prank".

[cpompilo]

20. Reality bites.

Whatever were these stupid people thinking? What they did is criminal and they should be fully prosecuted, ironically enough, under their beloved Bush's Patriot Act.

[SpiralHawk]

21. Typical republicon. They think they are 'special'

and that their crimes against the state are 'special'

Republicon elitism is sooo anti-American

[ljm2002]

22. And I'm sure he would say exactly the same thing...

...if 4 left-leaning activists were caught in Senator David Vitter's phone cabinet, messing around, and one of them was 2 blocks away in a car with a listening device...

Sure, bud, I'm sure that's exactly how you would respond then.

[Ikonoklast]

23. Vitter would strip to his tighty-whities and join in the fun.

He'd think it was his birthday present or something.

[ljm2002]

24. Ha ha, okay so maybe my wording wasn't the best :-) n/t

[KingFlorez]

25. Trying to wiretap a United States Senator is not a prank!

I guess Watergate was just about curious explorers to wingnuts.

[KittyWampus]

27. can't have it both ways. Is he a journalist or a prankster?

[DainBramaged]

28. Great point, but these fucks WANT it both ways

can't WAIT till the ACORN lawsuits come to trial. Maybe we can get the 21 House members to sign a resolution condemning him???
