Quote:

Mark and Elizabeth Byron had a son in July 2010, but their marriage soon became troubled. She accused him of verbally abusing her, threatening her with his fist and threatening to “end” her life.

While Mark Byron, an Over-the-Rhine photographer who has worked freelance assignments for The Enquirer, was exonerated of criminal allegations, a civil protective order was issued instructing him to stay away from his wife.

Mark Byron also argued the same court prevented him from seeing his son. In a Nov. 23, 2011, Facebook posting, he blasted the situation and the judicial system he believed wronged him.

“...if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husbands life and take your son’s father away from him completely – all you need to do is say that you're scared of your husband or domestic partner...” he wrote on Facebook.

Elizabeth Byron learned of it – even though her husband blocked her from viewing his page – and believed it violated a previous protective order by Domestic Relations Court Magistrate Paul Meyers that prevented Mark Byron from doing anything to cause his wife “to suffer physical and/or mental abuse, harassment, annoyance, or bodily injury.”

Elizabeth Byron believed her husband’s Facebook rant violated the court order, and the comments about it made by Mark Byron’s Facebook friends made her “afraid,” court documents note.

That, she said, violated the previous order from harassing her – even though the post wasn’t addressed to her and she was blocked from viewing it.

“She wasn’t harassed,” Fakhoury said, “because she deliberately sought this out.”

Meyers found Mark Byron in contempt and ordered him jailed for 60 days beginning March 19 – and to post for 30 days on his Facebook an apology to his wife, written by Meyers, if he wanted to avoid jail.

That's the problem I have, here. That's like saying a statement you make to your friends in a bar that happens to get picked up on a closed circuit TV can be labeled as 'harassment', even though the person you're talking about is in another state at the time.

Judges just do NOT get tech, sometimes, and make these stupid decisions that wreck precedent through ignorance.

I think getting rid of everyone 50+ out of any position of power would do the world a shitload of good.

More of the same absurd crap that's been going on for 20 years.

I doubt it. Everyone who would replace them was raised by them or the people who elected them.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Western society hasn't quite hit the bottom yet, and the climb back up will take a long time. Our biggest problems are societal, and those take multiple generations to change.

This. Who cares what FB says. I never even look at my account. The punishment is akin to being forced to say the word blue.

This would be my facebook post if I was that guy..

"I'm sorry my wife is a hyperbolic, vindictive, insane bitch. I in no way wish any mental or physical harm to come to her, even though she is doing her best to ruin my god damn life. God will sort her out and I sincerely hope that he doesn't send her immortal soul to hell for eternity for evilly, and without thought to her own childs welfare, separating him from the love and companionship of his father. I wrote this because not only do I fully and, under oath, swear that it is true, but some judge told me he would send me to jail if I didn't".

Then I would kidnap the kid and move to Brazil.
