Hope for the president to be assassinated

It's disgusting. And thanks for not taking the tone another similar discussion took about FB postings, acting as if 1 person out of 320+ million painted a picture of America, or that these types of things only happen from right to left/white to black, or that something is wrong with society today and it's worse than it's ever been. It's a nasty incident perpetrated by a moronic individual who should lose her right to use the site. And every individual acting in such a way should be individually called out and held accountable for their actions. I'm not sure I believe in the whole karma bit, but a person with an attitude like this does definitely need to watch out. She might get herself in some serious trouble. One of the biggest issues I have with this is that she's 22. We're not talking about some 65-year-old bitter throwback to Jim Crow. This is born in the 90s. WTF? You gotta wonder if she's really a racist pig full of hatred who came up in a household like that or if she's just playing the part to be as harsh as she possibly can. It could be like calling someone a "fagg0t" to be an a$$hole. That doesn't necessarily mean you're anti-gay. Regardless -- it doesn't matter, I guess. She's a moron. I just hope for her sake and those whose paths she'll cross in her lifetime that it's the latter and not the former.

Freedom to have an opinion? - Yes Freedom of speech? - Yes Freedom to threaten the President or incite others to kill the President? - No Freedom to post whatever you want to on Facebook? - Facebook says No, and they write the rule book Her employer fired her, and that's probably the right decision for the employer since they don't want to be associated with her comments. She's young and stupid, or she'd know better. But I wonder how many people on Facebook ever talked about assassinating Romney and got pulled off FB for it? Again FB writes the rules but this type of speech is either allowed or not and as Debra pointed out, FB allows certain types of hate speech and not others. It's one person, she's not very bright. If she had a page wishing for assassination and got a few tens of thousands of subscribers, I would be concerned. But that's not the case, so I think it's pretty much over. At least we know she was not a real threat.

That's the problem with Facebook...you can't say what you want...no "Freedom of speech" on facebook! So anyone that wants to tote around praising free speech..it is already being taken from us...it starts with Facebook...then your employer...then..... This is why we have to ALWAYS vote or do whatever is needed to keep ALL our rights...not just those that we like or don't have a issue with...like the current UN and US treaty to ban small weapons..it is law now...and will remain law until/unless Congress vetos it and with a Dem Senate and anti gunners...we might just loose out 2nd ammendment right..and so it will begin that they will dwiddle our rights down to where we have none..... And...where has this woman been all these past 2-3 years where it is common practice for employers to monitor their employees and new hires and see what they do on Facebook...and hold it against them? This just means your personal life is controled by your business life...moral of the story? Stay off Facebook and don't mix business with pleasure

This is awful, and goes to show just how angry people are at one another and at our leaders. No excuse is good enough to make this sort of thing accpetable though. I am reminded that during the campaign, two pages were up for about 17 days despite being reported to FB the first day they went up. The title of these pages, respectively; Advocate the Murder of Mitt Romney and Advocate the Murder of Paul Ryan. That and tens of thousands of tweets calling for the rape of the two candidates wives, the murder of both candidates, and the burning down of the White House if they won, threats to riot and threats to kill those who voted for Romney/Ryan were continually reported and archived by Twitchy.com So while I am appalled by this woman's post, there are comparable on 'the other side' of the fence. And FB left them up 17 days?

That was a disgusting comment she made. If she hasn't already, her FB page may be taken down, she might have to go into hiding. Sick, sick, sick. She might have to sleep with one eye open.

i agree with Denise Helms. She is totally right. He is ruining this world. SO many people are losing there jobs due to the obama care and hes not doing anything to prevent it. hes causing it. SPEAK THE TRUTH GIRL!!!!! U DESERVE BETTER!!!!

Hi Ladycwells, It will take a long time to eradicate all prejudice but this lady has to be taught a lesson. I am a Canadian and I may not like our Prime Minister, but I would never wish any harm upon him. As you say, she has no idea of the harm she is doing to herself either, hopefully she will get some help. Blessings.

What gets me about these toxic zealots is that they ignore the substance of the issue, in this case wishing for the assassination of the President, and carry on about the form, or some irrelevancy (in context). It shouldn't matter which side of the fence you sit on, her comments are unacceptable. What is even more unacceptabele is that 4 responses to this discussion are actually supporting her, one because she agrees, and the others for what I have described above. Sometimes this site looks like a toxic waste dump. Lash

if someone said that in public on my country the person will be arrested freedom of speech means He/she have to understand about the ethics in society too

That's frightening isn't it? we have several statements before about president getting killed or assasinated but never been investigated by the Presidential Security Group in my country. Why Secret Service has to investigate when there's FBI, NSA or CIA that can have a back ground check on this woman?this is just way too much overexaggerating CRAP! how can an ordinary person be a threat to the President when she was just ranting..maybe they should have fired her! quietly. well, I am actually confused and i have no clue why

I thought she was american,dont they champion freedom of speech over there? if it happened in my country,i wud understand,just recently something similar happened in that some dude posted in FB that a certain state ruler was unfit to rule coz he thought he was .....?/??? then he got arrested,got hauled into jail and spent few weeks just coz of that statement. you dont really expect this kind of thing in the USA right , supposed land of the free ,model of democracy, or how cynical are their laws championing freedom of speech? It is not like the person is atually gooing to do so,since when is it a crime to think of something but not actually go and do it? I think if they investigated everybody who wanted the president's demise,or removal, they wont have time for much else going by he reelection statistics.

Even in the land of freedom (like many people said), it's kind of weird when someone try to express their "freedom of expressions". Like what people always told two or three month ago.

Ladycwells I would fight stronbgly for free speech, but there is a limit...like falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater, some thoughts should not be voiced. Common sense must prevail and calling for the assination of the President is totally outrageous...

I feel that you are as extreme as the girl. Though you may not like your president, you couldn't use such remarks to attack him. If the girl said she would assassinate your parents, how would you think about it? Freedom of the speech doesn't mean you can threat other people's life. You don't have the right. Though you don't like him, more people regard him as the president. You can never change the fact. So it's time to shut up your mouth.

Really? There are crazy people in the world? This shouldn't be surprising. The good news is that she was fired from her job. The sad news is, some of the people who threatened Bush, were not fired. But that's how it goes. Crazy world.
