Facebook rant lands dad in jail on charges he threatened Ozaukee County judge

A frustrated Facebook rant landed a Saukville man in jail over the weekend, charged with threats to the Ozaukee County judge presiding over his child custody case.

According to the criminal complaint, John K. Borowski, 42, posted the following statement on Facebook late last month, after a court hearing:

“I’m a white man being deprived of my child for unjust causes. I have absolutely no criminal record. I barely drink and am constantly subjected to drug and alcohol tests required by the FRA ... Who’s with me to riot and loot the court house. Possibly the judge's neighborhood? I want to really put a test to “white privilege” and “male” superiority. I don’t think taking a knee or destroying my own neighborhood will do any good.”

A photo posted on a different date, but appearing right below the Sept. 29 post, showed Borowski in hunting clothes with a gun, the complaint notes.

And, it isn't because he is white and male. He is conveniently leaving something out. This threat being just one of them.

And spare me the "MEN AREN'T TREATED EQUALLY IN CUSTODY HEARINGS! Because that ship sailed years ago, no matter how MRAs like to like about it. (not directed at you, OP)

The very essence of white privilege is being able to sit there pretending to be the victim while simultaneously blaming and attacking minorities as causes.

Mr. Borokowski clearly needs a timeout and some attitude readjustment.

As soon as I read the headline, however, I had a recurring thought: Why in the world does anyone still post personal thoughts and information on that service? Facebook is fundamentally bad and dangerous. With all of the history available, can't people see that?

The power of Facebook has even reached the level of influencing our elections yet millions (billions?) of people seem to be addicted to being connected to it all day. They post very personal and important information on it that can be accessed by others who don't have your best interests in mind.

I really don't get it.
