[liberationtech] @BaltoSpectator

[Douglas Lucas]

In the most recent post on his site, dated Dec 1 -
http://baltimorespectator.blogspot.com/2012/12/freedom-under-fire-i-will-die-free.html
- @BaltoSpectator claims he was detained for 40 days without charge,
bail, or warrant, and that a lawyer and state Senator were told he
wasn't there.

Seeing my tweet about the above, @justin_fenton, crime reporter for the
Baltimore Sun, said: "It was an involuntary commitment, as I recall.
That's a whole convoluted tale that I dont have facts on"
