Woman arrested
for "poking" on Facebook |
For those who are
unfamiliar with Facebook the “poke” function is an automatic email that when
engaged sends a message to the one “poked” that so and so has poked you. So that here we have a fake poke, a
automatic email that declares that so and so has poked you . . . and that for
this act a woman was arrested and taken into custody for ‘Violating a court
retraining order” This is madness on the part of the Police, the Judge, and
especially on the part of the person being “Poked” to have called the police
and brought the arm of the law upon this woman. This is political correctness at its worst,
being arrested, being put in jail, being taken to court and getting a real
jail sentence and a real fine – for something that is fake, that is
pretend. Political Correctness is to the point that
it is now being codified in the law as any number of crimes. |
What should have been done? The email should have been
deleted before it was read, in facebook the person could have blocked the
sender and in a higher level could have sought to have that person’s ip adress(es)
suspended on the site ending the pretend “poking”. Facebook poking does not begun to come to the
level of a direct email or phone call.
