Tacoma 7th grader interrogated by Secret Services

I was saying how Osama was dead and for Obama to be careful because there could be suicide bombers.

Here's what Vito Lapinta, 13, wrote on his Facebook wall shortly after Bin Laden died.
A week later, a man with a suit and glasses went to his school to federally interrogate the 7th grader, because he was a "threat for the President".

I wonder for how long he would have been interrogated if his mother didn't interrupt after 30 minutes. What do you think?

  1. Just... wow. This just comes to show you the ineffectual nature of too much information being monitored and processed through the federal bureaucracy that they can't even differentiate between a harmless 13 year old and a terrorist

  9. Wait, hang on. I know Facebook doesn't really give a shit about your privacy and all, but to the extent that the secret services can see what you write? That scares me more than the article itself really.

  11. Wait, what did he write on his Facebook? That Obama needs more security after Bin Ladin's assassination? That's a pretty obvious observation!

  17. It's sad that the secret service is so insecure of themselves that they actually consider a 7th grader a threat. You'd think they'd be able to handle the likes of him.
