We found no record of a "Timothy James Turner" Facebook profile and could not locate an original source for those comments.



I found his page yesterday. He did indeed have those fb statuses and he made his fb years ago.

ETA: checked again and it looks like his account was deleted

Didn't know that. He had a lot of posts from before Wednesday and none were politically driven or violent. He did have a bunch of drug and pictures of himself with money. Didn't look like a fabricated account just an idiot who made that status and it went viral

Bummer for them....as I am pretty sure they will be introduced to all of the "folks" that have been making bulk purchases from Cheaperthandirt.com.

My mom heard after the Rodney King riots in LA, from someone who "knew the police chief" that the rioters , after burning LA, were loading up and traveling to Baton Rouge next!! I laughed out loud.

Homeland security has known about his post since around noon yesterday and has been looking for him... I personally sent it to them around 4pm... i have a buddy who will remain nameless, as will I, who is a higher up in GOHSEP... I have not checked in to ask if he has been arrested yet,it's not my business, but they were out searching for him since noon yesterday.. I was assured he will be spending many hours in custody being "talked to"

No humble brag, no bullshite, serious matter here
