British Tourists Detained, Deported For Tweeting 'Destroy America' (VIDEO)

Careful what you tweet.

Two 20-somethings arriving from the U.K. learned a harsh lesson about the American government's sense of humor on Monday, Jan. 23, when they were detained and then forced to return home due to comments they made on Twitter.
According to the Daily Mail, Leigh Van Bryan, 26, and Emily Bunting, 24, were going through Customs when they were detained.
The two spend the next 12 hours locked up in a cell and being grilled by Homeland Security officials. Bryan was charged with intending to come to the U.S. to commit crimes, while Bunting was charged for traveling with him.
Paperwork for the incident indicates that Bryan's name was on a "One Day Lookout" list maintained by Homeland Security.
According to the New York Post and World News Daily, this refers to an auto-generated temporary list of inbound travelers that are already in the official terror watch list database.
The paperwork also referred to Bryan's tweets, incorrectly stating they came from his account on "Tweeter."


The tweets had been sent a week before their trip, indicating the U.S. government had flagged the pair well before their arrival. Both claimed the messages were lost in translation.
"They asked why we wanted to destroy America and we tried to explain ['destroy'] meant to get trashed and party," Bunting told the Daily Mail.
Bryan also said he was asked about a tweet that he says is a quote from the television show 'Family Guy' that read, "3 weeks today, we're totally in LA p***** people off on Hollywood Blvd and diggin' Marilyn Monroe up!"
"I almost burst out laughing when they asked me if I was going to be Leigh's lookout while he dug up Marilyn Monroe," Bunting told the Daily Mail. "It got even more ridiculous because the officials searched our suitcases and said they were looking for spades and shovels."
But things quickly became less humorous to Bryan and Bunting.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Bryan said officials told him, "You really f***** up with that tweet, boy," before handcuffing and putting him in what Bryan described as a "cage" inside of a van. He said he was then transported to a prison with other border offenders.
"It's just so ridiculous it's almost funny but at the time it was really scary. The Homeland Security agents were treating me like some kind of terrorist," Bryan told the Mail.
"We just wanted to have a good time on holiday. That was all Leigh meant in his tweets," Bunting told The Sun.
This isn't the first time a tweet has gotten someone in trouble with the U.S. government.
And other social media outlets, such as Facebook, have also been used by police to prevent potential crimes. Just last week, an Arizona policeman drew a Secret Service probe for posting a photo of a man holding a T-shirt with the image of President Obama riddled with bullet holes.
This news comes at a time when Internet privacy and censorship are hot issues. Just last week, controversy erupted when Twitter revealed it would comply with censorship laws in countries like China and Thailand where much of the content on the internet is restricted.

I got deported from the UK for not having a ticket home (which they wouldn't let me book), proof of cash (which I couldn't go to the ATM or show on my confiscated phone), or having an address to a person I was staying with (which was a god damn hostel they wouldn't let me show them).

FUCK THE QUEEN.

While it was probably dumb for them to do that, the bigger issue is that the US government is searching and monitoring silly feeds as simple as Twitter and Facebook, and if certain key words turn up in their prying into the ramblings of your everyday life, imagine what they could do if they really wanted to.

The US Government is trying to turn US citizens into robots. You can't do this you can't do that you can't walk here you can't drive there you can't say this or that. The US Government should make a new law if a person from another country comes into the United States and breaks the law then he/she should be sent back to their own country and be ban from coming back.

Why are you buttmad about England not wanting a bunch of illegal immigrants? Every country except ours won't let you in if you don't have a return flight.

buy guns , lots of guns.

second amendment is the only thing keeping the government in check, the government is scared to trigger a up rising backlash from all the bullshit they are doing. why do you think they were so quick to arrest everyone who protested in occupy wall street ? the government doesn't want the movement to get as big as the protests were back through the 50s-70s ..

who wants to fuck with bunch of angry americans with lots of guns? no one not even our own government. also the government wouldnt be able to start a war without the people we are the ones who decided to go to war for the government, no military without the people..

Look up "immigrants" you fucking moron. I was a tourist, coming to bring it MONEY to their shit hole country. They even told me they had to tighten their borders because of ME. Like I personally started the war in Iraq. They where just being dicks. They could have given me my phone back so I could have shown and completed everything needed. When you come into America they tell you what you need to do even if your a citizen.
Did I mentioned that in the time (over 48hours) I was in a cell with no bed and was fed shitty chips and juice...
