Facebook on fire over signs in Scio

When it comes to social media, there is the good...and then there is the bad. Our focus now is on Scio, where a State Route 19 homeowner has come under protest for apparent opinion signs in the front lawn. While, as far as WRN understands, the signs are not illegal, they have certainly stirred up the angst of local residents there. Suffice to say, the social media comments have been severe. The Facebook poster said Tuesday, "this is  more than I can turn a blind eye to." Apparently, area folks agree. It appears that the straw that broke the camels back was a sign about the late Marine, Cpl. Jason Dunham (It's been widely reported that Dunham died saving other Marines- the highway bears his name). The Scio community was seemingly mortified. Although at least one supported the free speech effort. 
In this woman's Facebook post, she said -   Route 19 isn't a side street, a dead end road - it's a major route that people drive, bike or walk everyday and this kind of trashy slander that clearly spells out people's names making FALSE accusations against them should NOT be allowed. I've tried having them removed from law enforcement as I take great offense at the things she puts out there to the world to read and was told they couldn't make her take them down. Ugh .... When is enough - enough?!? FYI- there's dozens of people's names on her trashy signs from judges to DA- troopers- land owners- neighbors etc... maybe your name is on it and you don't even know.
As of today, we're told, the signs have been removed. We're not sure, however, who removed them.
Perhaps the bottom line here is, just because your have a 1st amendment right to free speech, doesn't necessary mean you need to use it.
       
Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I- 57th District) said, "Corporal Jason Dunham is a true American hero who courageously sacrificed his life to save his fellow Marines out of love for them and his country. No hurtful false words will ever change that fact. My heart goes out to the Dunham family because they have endured so much, but they know that overwhelmingly our community, state and nation stand with them in unwavering support and deep admiration."
