From Pine View Farm

Facebook Frolics 2

A Turlock woman who posted inflammatory comments on Facebook about President Barack Obama has been fired from her job and reported to the U.S. Secret Service.

Turlock resident Denise Helms, 22, posted shortly after the president’s re-election Tuesday on her Facebook page, “And another 4 years of the (n—–). Maybe he will get assassinated this term..!!”

The post quickly made the rounds on social media, prompting Sacramento TV station Fox 40 to interview her about her comments Wednesday night.

Later on in the report, she’s quoted as saying she doesn’t understand the attention from the Secret Service and isn’t a racist.

Indeedy not no couldn’t be, that word just sprang to her mind out of nowhere.

Afterthought:

There’s another lesson, one I harp on.

The internet is a public place.

If you are going to say something, say it in a way that you would not fear saying it in a room full of strangers, because it’s going to be overheard.

    Huh, Turlock, a place in California #2, where all the angry white man live who listen to John and Ken, enjoying when they beat up and harass not-white people and liberals for the enjoyment of the listeners.

    Prop 30 won, by the way. There will be higher state taxes on the wealthy for Cal State education, despite the best efforts of the GOP.

    Maybe there’s hope for Cali yet.
