FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda COMMENTARY | Social networkers used to worry about who they friended on Facebook; after today’s news of an unfriending that escalated into murder, concern about unfriending is taking center stage.
Jenelle Potter of Mountain City, Tenn., lived with her parents and spent long hours on Facebook, according to Sheriff Mike Reece. Reuters noted a couple of harassment cases had been filed against her in court by people who blocked or removed her from their friends list.
Thursday, her father Marvin Enoch “Buddy” Potter Jr., 60, and his friend Jamie Lynn Curd, 38, allegedly went even further to exact revenge against a couple who unfriended her. According to police, the men shot the man and woman in the head and cut the man’s throat.
Social networking has played a role in several other recent outbursts of violence:
* In November, a Facebook unfriending led to arson, Time said. Jennifer Christine Harris blamed Nikki Rasmussen for a failed party the two were planning via Facebook and posted unfavorable comments about Rasmussen on her wall. Rasmussen unfriended her, and Harris retaliated by setting Rasmussen’s garage on fire, destroying the garage and damaging the attached home.
* In October, the New York Post reported a man beat up his estranged wife for not “liking” a post he made memorializing his dead mother.
* In August, a disagreement between two men that started on Facebook spilled over into real life in Portage, Ind., the Post-Tribune reported. One man allegedly came to the other’s house where he punched the siding and damaged it, prompting the homeowner to point a gun at him and fire it into the ground, the report said.
* In January, a Michigan woman was sentenced to jail for murder for a death resulting from a July car chase. Torrie Emery had been fighting over a man on Facebook with Danielle Booth. When she spotted Booth in a car driven by Alesha Abernathy, she rammed the car and gave chase at 90 mph. Abernathy crashed after running a red light in an effort to escape and was killed. Booth was seriously injured.
* These crimes make the man who shot his daughter’s laptop over a Facebook post, reported Friday on Mashable, look tame by contrast. The teen reportedly complained in the post that her parents overworked her and ought to pay her for household chores. Despite privacy settings she apparently thought would keep her parents from seeing the post, her father, who works in IT, was able to access it without becoming her Facebook friend.
