Consider This Your Official Warning To Not Post Angry Political Facebook Rants

#1 Reporter Candice Lee Posted About The Arrival Of Two Democratic Nominees

News reporter for Columbus Ohio's WCMH, Candice Lee, posted an announcement on her personal Facebook timeline recently that said 'Hillary and BernieSunday at OSU' but she didn't know it was going to cause such an uproar.

#2 The Post Ended Up On Gary Barry's Timeline Through Friends Shares

Through a couple of friends reposting the bit about the candidates' upcoming town hall appearances at Ohio State University, it ended up on Gary Barry's timeline.

#3 He Made A Comment He Thought Was Funny And Left It At That

The Columbus man posted in the comments of the shared message what he believed to be a humorous political joke. "I jokingly said, ‘where do I send the bomb?'" Barry told WCMH Wednesday evening. Imminently he began gettings replies to his off the cuff remark but didn't know it would cause him such trouble later on.

"The next day I thought about it. But I was like, ‘hey, it's the Internet. Once it's out there, it's out there.' So I didn't think no more about it till yesterday," said Barry. Yesterday was when the Secret Service showed up at his door and demanded to investigate and interrogate him like a suspect.

#4 The Secret Service Believed He Had Made Legitimate Threats Towards The Two Candidates

The Secret Service did not see his comment as a joking matter. Someone who saw his comment contacted them about the post and an investigation was launched. Two armed agents knocked on Barry's door ready to talk but he was not at home. They waited there for him as his son telephoned him to come home right away. When he got home, he and his wife were both questioned for over 30 minutes.

#5 They Interrogated Him And His Wife For Three Hours

The agents knew everything about him, his family, even his father who was firefighter. "They were asking me if I was a racist, if I was anti-Muslim. And, do I have any thoughts of suicide or thoughts of assassinating the vice president or president," said Barry.

When WCMH contacted the local US Secret Service office to inquire about the investigation they were told that Barry was indeed questioned and that it was standard procedure to follow up on any social media threats against the President and presidential candidates. It's a chargeable offense with a penalty of up to five years in federal prison.

#6 'Watch What You Post On Facebook'

There is no word on whether or not Barry will be charged. But when the two agents left his home they left him with some sage advice; "They said, 'watch what you say on Facebook," Barry reported. Moments later he went on Facebook again and sent out a 'friendly reminder' to his friends not to post negative political comments.

Reporter Candice Lee thinks the Secret Service and other agencies may be stalking her social media account. Either that or someone actually did call the service to lodge a complaint. In any case, it's proof that people are watching everything we say and do online.
