"The Fair Work Commission didn't find that unfriending someone on Facebook constitutes workplace bullying,"

It's sad that news needs to have a title that's sensational and completely wrong only to be corrected by said article at the very end.

I've noticed that seems to be the case in a lot of articles I read (many of which are posted here!)-- that the title is sensational and eye-catching, but the facts contained within the article are much more mundane.

I try to post little news blurbs or paragraphs rather than titles: I think that gets the gist of the article across better than click-bait.

I honestly have no words for this bullcrap.

Trigger warning, blatant Anti-Semitism and SJW-isms.

I mean, the declared message of being anti-circumcision is decent enough. It sounds like they had an alright idea that was overshadowed by all the anti-Semitic crap that's too apparent to ignore.

Well, bad news all around.

I don't know if this is true or not, and I'd recommend waiting for more information before flying to your keyboard in a rage.

George Zimmerman. Who you may remember as the man who shot Treyvon martin (allegedly in self defense). Apparently retweeted a photo he took of Treyvon's dead body.

Perhaps an attempt at posthumous Revenge on the person he believes ruined his life?

What's he really got to lose anyways? A large segment of the population has already demonized him and the rest have moved on from yesterday's news, so this may just be a misguided attempt at getting back at all the people who have had it in for him the past few years.

I don't feel like I'm in a position to determine whether he was innocent or guilty of the charges levied against him, but this is still a pretty stupid move bringing all this back up to the surface. He just needs to change his name and go live in Alaska or something at this point.

I hope he doesnt but dont be surprised if he commits suicide.

Zimmerman's recent pastimes also include hawking Confederate flag paintings in support of a "Muslim-free" gun store.
