Efficient staff-weeding

Starting to think of FB as a threshing machine.

People work at a given place for years and everybody knows they're violent and stupid but the right proof is never obtained.

Then they post some appalling nonsense, proof is obtained, and they're gone with the wind.

I have to reference back to my favorite weeding episode; Skidmore, Missouri, 40+ years ago, when town bully, Ken McElroy, was murdered in broad daylight with 20+ bystanders to witness the killing; and to this day, not the sheriff, nor the MBI, nor the FBI being able to discover who the murderer was.

McElroy had a resume that Jesse James could envy and would likely have qualified him for a high level possession in one of Stalin's or Hitler's hit squads.

If there is anyone to feel sorry for in that case it's probably the 50+ likely witnesses who had to endure 40 years of harassment by the sheriff, the MBI and the FBI in their efforts to discover who killed McElroy.

In the virtual reality world, such frontier justice is so much easier with the "delete" button :)

You just know the killer has probably been biting his/her tongue for 40+ years, wanting to brag about how he put Skidmore out of its misery.

With the weeding on FB and Twitter, the one who hit the "delete" button is also probably biting their tongue.

I think the whole social media world may soon be flipped upside down and shaken thanks to Elon Musk's public due diligence.

@Heartlander I don't think there was one killer. I think it was a community effort, where decent people couldn't rely on the legal system and reluctantly, as a group, executed him. Much like a firing squad - where it's a fine point, but nobody can prove who fired the fatal shot.

@Mamapolo2016 Oh yes, when the whole town decided that enough is enough. We outsiders won't know how they all came together until there's no one still alive to be arrested. One of the best kept secrets in America.

I admit I have become much more free with my opinions on Facebook since I retired
