No one could even see his facebook rantings if they weren't PUBLIC. This man is not a genius and now his ridiculous words are coming back to haunt him.

So?

Freedom of speech. How can the country or state fire the sheriff if he was expressing his freedom of speech?

I have seen no reports of how this information got into the hands of anti-gun activists but it really does not matter if his opinions are expressed on his personal Facebook page.

Maybe he believes this latest mass shooting is also part of the master plan.

I would love to hear his theories on Sandy Hook.
Meanwhile MANY Democrats in DC STILL think the Bush admin was behind 911.

Really now? Do tell how you know what Obama believes; do you have a secret pipeline to the WH?

No one, but conspiracy nutjobs, believes that Bush had anything to do with 911.

Freedom of Speech doesn't really apply to Facebook btw.

Anyone who beleives that is equally irrational and lives in the same alternate universe as the sheriff, 26 school children killed in a plot by the government to confiscate guns, please.

Huh? It's only personal if you restrict who can see your posts. If they are 'public' then the content of the post is subject to public scrutiny. Just because a nut job Sheriff makes a personal page and posts his garbage truther theory on it does not mean that people can't question his fitness for his position based on his FB posts. The position of sheriff is generally an elected position and I hope the people of Douglas county recall him.
