I wish him well. When criminal people plan their attacks and alert followers on their social media accounts before hand and none of the moderators much less followers alert authorities heads should roll.
But to be fair, if someone does jump to action they stand to be called all kinds of names because a certain member community is the one making the threats. And rather than looking at the threat the other community members look at the incorrect nature of identifying for ones self what has already made a public statement that they are.

In other words, if the latest assailant in Florida had alerted people on Twitter before acting out and someone reported them and then tweeted that. Islamophobe, bigot, would likely follow. The fallout is being directed at the wrong people.

Good for this dad for holding communities accountable for real life terror in communities.

How's that escape notice on a site as huge as Facebook? Maybe if such sites are held financially responsible they'll start to care about what's happening in their place of business.

Good luck with that. But no it'll fail.
