Facebook Suspends Daily Caller Journalist [PHOTO]
Daily Caller ^ | 8/17/2016 | David Hookstead

I have been suspended by Facebook for posting a meme of Sylville Smith, the armed man killed by police in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this past weekend.

The meme shows Smith holding a Glock handgun with the caption, “2nd Place Milwaukee, WI Quick Draw Competition.”

It’s a good line. I chuckled audibly when I read it. I do not use smilies or text message acronyms, but I did actually do one of those things that people put abbreviations for, even when they don’t actually do it.

I do not think the poster should have been suspended from Facebook, but I do not find this photo entertaining. Too many people in our country who do not value life and this kind of discourse only encourages that attitude.

Oh man, I wish I thought of that!

In all seriousness, Facebook, and oftentimes Twitter, are now enemy combatants. They have taken sides against the police and with the domestic terrorists. They are PACs for the (D)ummycrat and uniparty establishment.

If people want to make a difference then start a campaign to do the one thing that will scare the bejeezus out of them ... break them up. That means a campaign to bust up their monopoly a la teddy Roosevelt ( hmmmm, the Trump factor again ) and John Rockefeller. These are crony capitalist corporations who are taking sides in a high visibility election. They are undeclared leftist political action committees.

The sum total of their actions ( Twitter/Facebook against Milo and others ) should be rounded up into memes and posted far and wide. It needs to get mentioned on TV, and folks can even call their elected reps and "demand that Facebook and Twitter be punished and broken up" for electioneering and censorship.

Just discussing the issue will have widespread effect because of the fear that their little Wall Street bubble will get pierced sending all the "investors" into panic mode. Ignore any trolls that say that "well it is a private company blah blah blah". They don't get a pass on the 13th Amendment because they are private ( although they *do* accompolish the same with open borders and cheap immigrant labor ).

Since our brilliant government has given our Internet away, the last of which we still cling to will be handed over in October, I suspect we are not only going to have zero control over anything that happens there and likely paying for it through our noses, with greatly reduced access. Why that was ever allowed is beyond me;/

Other than that I would hope that some right minded rich guy would design and develop other programs that are better:)

Regrettably, there are some lives which have no value. But it's not our place to decide which.
