Yesterday, somebody made a new post on Facebook using one of the many Facebook Applications that supports posts, polls, and ratings of all things in all sizes. You're probably familiar with these. If the question is boring or insipid, you don't pay it much attention, and it eventually gets lost in the black hole that is Facebook. If it's semi-inspired or somewhat interesting, you might vote on the poll yourself and take to a friend about it in passing. Well, this poll got the US Secret Service's attention:
751 people actually voted on this post, which was quickly removed and service to the third-party application was halted for investigation. It doesn't surprise me really. The internet is a playground for those who love to post inflammatory material and have no accountability. There is only one think I liked about this article:
"An ancillary poll has also popped up: "Should the person who created the 'Should Obama be Killed Poll' be arrested?"
You already know you vote on that poll! Check the link below to TPM Livewire's take on the whole situation...
