I would be willing to bet real money that there were clear warning signs for a long time that were ignored.

Before the internet and social media people like this were forced to pretty much keep these thoughts and threats within their minds.

Now they can post them for everyone to read. Why aren’t people held responsible for the things they say in public forums. If I were the family of someone injured I’d sue Facebook for billions.

Warning signs? Like that he was a democrat, avidly FOR gun control, and belonged to a union? Yeah, but lots of idiots are liberals - they can't all be investigated.

Your suggestion is tantamount to demanding that gun manufacturers be held accountable for gun deaths. Facebook is merely a platform placed - for good or for ill - at the disposal of users, and should be under no obligation to "patrol" websites and "police" posters and/or scrutinize their postings for possible "political incorrectness."

The people who make a decision to be evil - you know: the actual perpetrators - should be held accountable for their actions, and no one else.

So which is it?

Do you want people held responsible for what they say, or do you want Facebook held responsible? Seems you want it both ways.
