Police want to use Red Flag law due to social medai postings

Police ask permission from judge to take guns from man following "troubling" social media posts - CBS News

PLYMOUTH, Minn.
Plymouth Police ask a judge for permission to remove firearms from a 31-year-old man after two encounters at Twin Cities religious sites and troubling social media posts, court documents say.

The man was charged with third-degree damage to property — motivated by bias, a gross misdemeanor — after placing "white lives matter" stickers on parking lot pillars outside Congregation Darchei Noam, a Jewish place of worship, court documents show....

...The application also noted additional images from the man's (now removed) X account, including an image of a person giving a "Nazi-style salute" and wearing a "military style fatigue, a vest with pouches, two rifles, a semi-automatic handgun, a revolver and sling of shotgun rounds."

Court documents indicate police have secured one handgun from the man so far.

There is a reason for the mega data centers being built. Using your freedom of speech on a device that is connected to a “data” line to the internet most likely may/ will have a negative impact on your life. Logging into sights that may or may not to you seem be to nefarious may/ will be used against you in a court of law. Craving attention online may/ will cost you dearly.

I'd have to see the now-removed images in question, but that description could match a lot of people on a hunting trip.
