Documents show that a Wisconsin prison guard was ordered to serve a one-day suspension for a joke he posted on Facebook about President Barack Obama and lynching, according to a newspaper report published Sunday.
Collin Visser posted in December a photo of Christmas tree ornaments depicting Obama and the text: "Look guys. Obama Christmas ornaments. Suddenly it's legal to hang a black man from a tree again!" the Wisconsin State Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1H0kn2U ). The newspaper said it obtained documents last week revealing his punishment months after first requesting them under the state's open records law.
Visser, who has worked at the Dodge County Correctional Institution in Waupun since April 2014, shared the image in the comments section of a newspaper's Facebook post about a Black Lives Matter rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The documents show that Warden Marc Clements told Visser in January that he would be suspended for one day and required to attend diversity training for what the warden called a "serious act of misconduct."

“I have no idea why this is in the news now. “
The punishment and humiliation must be public or it has no control value over the rest of us. It is a Soviet Show Trial but in miniature and in today’s context.
Facebook. The crack candy for idiots......might just as well go stand on the corner downtown on the square and yell whatever it is you want to say.
Got him in trouble, but it’s a clever line.
>>I have no idea why this is in the news now. It appears that this was done during his off-duty time and on his personal social media account.
That’s why its news. It is giving us all notice that in the Progressive America, even an hourly employee is the property of his employer at all times.
There are still plenty of “kill Bush” jokes floating around, but I don’t remember anyone being disciplined over them. Not even for the overt death threats.
Nothing is private on facebook. This guy was an idiot for thinking so. He shouldve made his joke about Christians then nothing would happen
That’s an old joke already.
Can you at least admit that this man is as dumb as a box of rocks?
it is an ugly line....some things may be funny this is not
There’s no such thing as “off-duty” time anymore. Same with “personal social media account”.

Funny how when it’s a Dem the records are off limits because they are concerning personel matters.
How can the actually prove he typed on the computer?
Didn’t some Baltimore figure recently claim that her account was hacked and message was typed..
Northerners are so rasis!
Unfortunately, the Facebook account is one the first things a defense attorney subpoenas on law enforcement or corrections personnel who have to testify. This kind of stuff makes them impeachable in a heartbeat.

The left loves this crap as Obama loves the Race card. He pulls it out every time he screws up. In fact, Holder, Sharpton, Obama and pals rate the Race card better then AMEX, VISA, and MC combined.
