I try to be careful what I post on the internet, and often encourage my friends to do the same. Yes, I occasionally read things that make me shake my head in disbelief that one would make some post. Some do it because they like to vent, some out of gossip, and some out of pure hate. Then there are those who obviously don't pay attention to what they are writing.
Well, there are a few stories that have recently hit the news involving social media posts.
The first story has to deal with a mom being fired before she starts the job. I agree with the employer's decision. If you publicly announce that you HATE working around kids and getting ready to start a new job at a daycare that you claim you'll also HATE to do... then you have no right to work there!
It also goes to show that one needs to be careful when posting things on the internet. Already, the mom is claiming that she is being "bullied" by those stating she doesn't deserve to work at a job she claims she's going to hate. Oh brother!
The other story going around is that of a woman who made a post threatening to kill and murder white police officers. of course, she was arrested and charged with terrorist threats. Some have posted in her defense, calling it her 1st amendment right! Oh my. Now, what she did is what I consider "bullying" in extreme form.

I share this all to say... be mindful on posting your thoughts. There are always consequences!
