Someone help me, I don't use social media platforms. Is it just me, or do these "suspect" pictures come from the people's very own social media page? That's what many of them look like, I just can't be sure since I'm out of the loop.

It sure seems like law enforcement and the judicial system, have capitalized on social media profiles... Much to the dismay of the media outlet user's.

The copious amounts of personal information that people divulge to the public is ridiculous. As with anything that's free, YOU become the product. If you use Facebook, all of your contact info has become their property to be sold at will. If you've visited Facebook or it's affiliates on any of your mobile devices, Facebook and friends are now riding shotgun.

Members voluntarily create a living, breathing personal profile, complimented with regular updates of daily activities and details of where and with whom they did them.

Tell us who you were with, when you took the picture of your half eaten bowl of cereal.

Fun, isn't it?

Facebook is like a dog owner, who knows his loyal and simple friend will only swallow the pill if it's concealed in a tasty weenie.

I did have facebook about 3 years ago, and I shut it down... Never used personal info, but it's still creepy. Just using an android phone is bad enough, Google tracks everything you do. I don't want to be that guy, the one that if something were to ever come up in life, has his social media site used against him... I plead the platform 5th.

We're not supposed to judge each other based on appearances alone, but this guy served up a selfie that shouts murderous fugitive.

. . a lifetime of disappointment and failure.

Then again, you order your lunch at WB and it's usually ready for you by dinner time. I have that exact expression by the time I get to the drive-thru window.
