Do you know that moment when something tragic happens and time seems to halt in an abrupt moment of disbelief? When I read the article "Latest Battlefield In Mexico's Drug War: Social Media" I felt the nauseating ache in my gut that wants to scream "This can not be real; You are dreaming!"
Everyday people post thousands, maybe billions of blogs, tweets, and facebook statuses. Although many are very controversial, we rarely ever hear about anyone getting killed for it! People are risking their lives to share the truth about the Mexican drug war! People have been beaten-dead, and put out for display for tweeting fact! Finishing the article, after reading about "The two brutally wounded victims hanging from a bridge," and the "woman hogtied, and disemboweled" I just sat in silence, sick to my stomach, imagining what these people had to go through, and how the living posters say that they will not stop!
How many times do you post a day? Is it to tell the world what you had for lunch, or for a real cause? What if someone said to you "Post something we don't like online, and you're next. I am about to get you"
