Facebook Follies ... Whack Jobs.

There is a twat on Facebook that goes by the name of Kevin Hay. He is a conspiracy theorist that loves promoting fake shit. Normally I don't waste my time considering morons like him but when he tried to present something as fact that could EASILY be proven wrong ... without even citing anything to back up his statement, it irked me.

A little background info on Kevin, from his Facebook page.He says he is a Manager at one company and runs his own cosmetics business too. Other than a lot of posts pushing one conspiracy theory or another, and whining about people that complain about him, not much of substance to his page. Yet he wrote a post about Fidel Castro being Justin Trudeau's real father as if he had access to the information, mainly a suicide note. He cites no sources and takes all credit.

According to Snopes this myth has been around since someone started it 2016.

"On 27 November 2016, two days after Castro’s death was announced, a user on the Donald Trump subreddit /r/The_Donald presented a theory that Justin Trudeau, the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, was actually the love child of Fidel Castro and Margaret Trudeau. "

Snopes then proceeded to prove how wrong this was.

It is bad enough when people perpetuate this shit but to try and make it look like you have some access to the suicide note. What else can you expect from an internet whackjob?


Facebook Follies .... vanishing memes?!?!?!?

I noticed in the last couple of days a lack of comments and memes on Facebook about how having armed police, guards, or teachers in the school would have stopped the shooter in Parkland Florida, and anywhere else this has happened. It struck me as strange. Until I saw this.

"Four sheriff’s deputies hid during Florida school shooting"

Yes ... four deputies that were the first to respond to the shooting ... while the shooter was active .... hid behind their cars. What makes it worse is that one deputy was the officer ASSIGNED TO THE SCHOOL as the armed resource officer ON SITE!!!

No wonder the comments and memes stopped.
