Sometimes it's best to keep opinion's to yourself...not for Facebook

This past election has got plenty of coverage from social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook with both political parties taking advantage of these tools.  However, other social media users are using these sites to voice their own personal opinions as well.  Here is an example of someone upset with the President Barack Obama and probably wished he had kept their comments to himself.

Christopher Castillo, a Florida man, was arrested by the Secret Service after a Facebook post he had posted on November 1st.  In an apparent response to Obama's views on health care, Castillo posted: "That's the last straw, if he gets re-elected I'm going to hunt him down and kill him watch the life disappear from his eyes."

When the Secret Service came to investigate reports from a concerned citizen about the post, they asked him if Obama was here in the room right then what he would do?  Castillo responded with saying that he would slap and beat the president.

There are some people that wish they could take back the violent or threatening things they say on Facebook.  It is apparent that Castillo is not one of these people and it is a good thing he is behind bars.
