Let me start with the fact that I am not writing diaries very often. I am not even liberal, I consider myself an independent, not a democrat. So why in the world would I post here?
Well, I consider myself as someone who likes to stay informed, and who loves this country. And I am someone who respects our president. And exactly this is why I need to write this and why I am asking for your help.
This diary will not be an excellent read, it will not be very pretty with pictures, because I have no clue how to post them, so you will have to bare with me and work with links instead of embedded content...
But what I have to say and what I need your help to do needs to be said and it needs to be done...
Now enough of all the teasing, follow me below the squiggle and I will fill you in...
I follow the White House and our president on facebook and I comment on the content there. It will probably not come as a surprise to you that a lot of right wings nuts do the same, so there are arguments flying and some of them even lower their standards to personal insult.
I have no problem with that, I can defend myself....
What I have a MASSIVE problem with is what I came across today...
Here it is:

I hope this link works, if not you guys have to help me out to embed the screenshot...
In case it doesn't, here is what a guy wrote on a tread: " When can we get another good Oswald or Booth?????"
And this crossed my line. It crossed my line by far. I want this to go viral. I want this to show up everywhere and I want this guy to see that this kind of comment is not made without consequence.
Here is the link to the thread:

Here is the link to the guys profile on facebook:

Maybe I am overreacting, but I don't think so. I waited after I read this comment to see if I would calm down, but I cannot calm down.
I don't know how to make this stuff go viral, but I know that you guys know how to do it. I don't have a massive social network but I know that some of you guys have.
I will use what I have to get this message out. I just don't know if this is remotely enough, so I need your help. I don't want to get famous with exposing the guy.. In fact, since my immigration is in the process, I would prefer not to create big waves.... but I cannot help myself, I have to do what I have to do...
I cannot read a comment like that one and just move on... And I know that you guys can't either.
It is time we stop people like Mark Pastika. It is time we let them know that there is a line not to be crossed.
This diary might not get anywhere and maybe I am just wasting your and my time here.
But this is what I could do, beside posting the comment on my facebook page to call him out.
And I know that I cannot look myself in the mirror again without having done everything I could do....
Thank you for reading and for your help if you decide to get this message out there!
Edited the title... Since I cannot report the guy, I hope to either expose him enough or to move someone to take action.
