Ex-Marine Busted for Anti-Government Facebook Postings

Brandon Raub was into wacky conspiracy theories, but made no explicit threats

A man who recently served overseas as a U.S. Marine was arrested Thursday evening in Virginia for making anti-government statements on Facebook.

Brandon Raub's arrest was captured on citizen video by his brother, which at least allows us to see that he was not whisked away in the dark of night by men in black.

But the men who arrested him were compiled of FBI and Secret Service agents as well as Chesterfield County police officers who did not have a problem being video recorded.
