Slashdot Mirror
Student Banned From Minnesota Campus Over Facebook Comments
Be careful just how you vent online is the lesson from this story pointed out by reader kungfugleek, from which he excerpts: "A University of Minnesota student has been banned from the Twin Cities campus after three of her instructors felt threatened by some of her Facebook postings. Amanda Tatro was patted down and questioned by campus police when she got to class Monday. The 29-year-old mortuary science student had posted comments on her Facebook page after breaking up with her boyfriend. She told her Facebook friends she wanted to stab a 'certain someone in the throat' with an embalming instrument. Tatro said she was 'looking forward to Monday's embalming therapy.' When the instructors learned of the postings, they contacted police." The Star-Tribune's account offers more detail.
I always make sure I am an anonymous coward (or at least have my facebook status to private) before I make my homicidal feelings known.
By the way, I am gonna get all you suckers!!!!
Morticians have a morbid sense of humor? SAY IT AIN'T SO! *face palm*

This whole thing makes me want to beat someone in the face with a keyboard. I'm looking forward to Tomorrow's "development therapy".
No, I actually mean I'm going to qwerty some bitches foreheads here. Sorry for any confusion.
Its a dead field.
/Sorry, had to be done.
So, the Professors were deathly afraid of her morbid comments, which lead to her to be terminated as a student. I don't think she should have undertaken her commenting to that level. I just wish that the professors would just bury the hatchet and let her rest in peace.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
And I do believe I was a minor during that childhood. If someone said it on the net it has to be taken seriously. I'm holding my breath waiting for the police to take Mr. Lucas into custody or, at the very least, Chris Hansen to ask him to have a seat.

Indeed. Words are our most precious form of expression. Even the most well intentioned statement can be ruined by one penis misspoken or mistyped word.
NINES AND ELEVENS!

Retards and technology, always a bad mix.
Sell unnecessary technology to retards who will buy anything. Now you understand how we got here.

On the contrary, I'd say it's quite the active field; people are dying to get in.
As anyone here ever subject to a break-up can attest, the ex will always want to kill you, certainly at least for the first week.

So, today's lesson is simple - always date girls attending school in Minnesota.

That's okay. All you Europeans do it.

Your expression of delightful and joyful items is making those in the Northwest, British Isles, and recently kitten-less population unhappy. Please refrain from any further emotions or we will be forced to take action against you.
I'm offering my help to help you get rid of those terrorists in your wallet.
