by smkovalinskyThere is one up in New Englad who just got imprisoned--- NO CRIME COMMITTED. And there was the cannibal cop, arrested for his fantasies (they can find out your IP if they want to - he used a psuedonym):

The man was arrested because his murder fantasies included his wife. She reported him to the FBI. That's his own stupid fault for including her in his fantasies. Though, she may still have reported him whether he included her or not.
There seems to be a fine line between freedom of speech and what others consider a potential threat. When people start dictating what we can and can't discuss in our own private time, in regard to fantasy, that's when I really begin to think that society is fucked up.
Who's gonna be next on the chopping block for writing something that society considers unacceptable?
Every horror author will have to watch their back, lest they get arrested by the FBI...
/sigh
I agree with you! Thought police are not part of a democracy. The old saying used to go, "Thank God a man may only be arrested for what he has done - not what he might do." Well, that's fading. Very UNdemocratic.
