Jim Wright's post about 911 removed from Facebook [View all]

Last edited Sun Sep 11, 2016, 09:03 PM - Edit history (1)

I like reading Jim Wright, he's spot on about many things and his humor is often brilliant. His FB post today was about 911 and how it is remembered - and apparently his opinion didn't make the trolls happy, so they complained and FB removed it.

Here's a copy of what he wrote and a link to his page.
