Complete with posts like this:

Maul a Bitch Monday ♥

Domestic Violence: Don't make me tell you twice. She should have gotten worse. I usually like to make sure she's unconscious by the time i'm done. Learns better that way.

I asked my wife what time it was. She replied "what did you say honey?"

So I boxed her fucking ears.

Next time she'll listen.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

1. Not to mention fan pages of various murderers. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Facebook is allowing this garbage?

That is sick, fucking sick.

Shame on Facebook.

[defacto7]

52. For all the fuzzy feely on facebook

this is one of the reasons I don't want anything to do with it.

[LadyHawkAZ]

3. Reported and reposted. n/t

[sharp_stick]

4. It looks like a brand new page

It'll likely be pulled, hopefully soon. I hope you reported it?

[derby378]

5. Domestic violence hits close to home for me - and this page sickens me

I do hope someone at Facebook has the good sense to shut this down and delete a few accounts along the way.

[mercuryblues]

6. I reported it

But it was already reported on and FB said it was ok.

I was hoponig a mass reporting would get it pulled. Maybe i should put a pic on the page of a woman breastfeeding, that would surely get their attention.

[redqueen]

35. Thanks for the heads up. You're right that more reports help. nt

[lpbk2713]

7. Shit like this never fails to bring the stupid to the surface.

Just read the comments.

Asswipes.

[Scuba]

8. That's sick.

[Journeyman]

9. Well, it did only go active last Friday, so after FaceBook gets your Alert . . .

it will hopefully be removed.

[niyad]

38. "ONLY" last friday? that is FOUR days of this crap being allowed to continue. FOUR DAYS.

this is beyond disgusting.

and people wonder why I won't get an account there.

[MineralMan]

10. Facebook is impossible to figure out.

That page is horrible and should have been removed after the first complaint. I've just sent another report to them.

[defacto7]

53. Unfortunately, what's done is done.

If they leave it long enough it becomes a resident part of the internet whether it's on their site or not. They know that and will milk the publicity as far as they can because it won't go away anyway. That's the black magic of the Internet. As far as humanity, ugliness abounds.

[Kookaburra]

11. Just reported it

Hoping FB will take it down.

[arcane1]

12. Wow, that's just... wow...

Part of me kept hoping it was some sort of misguided satire, but I couldn't finish reading the posts. Reported it

[cali]

13. I feel both ill and enraged

I really don't have words.

[Dreamer Tatum]

14. Outrage fix satisfied. Thanks nt

[cali]

20. wtf? I don't even begin to fathom why you'd make that comment.

[BainsBane]

45. or a jury allow it to stand

2-4. I wish I could say I was surprised.

[sufrommich]

32. What the fuck????? nt

[2ndAmForComputers]

37. Please elaborate.

[Dreamer Tatum]

57. OK, I will

Idiots set up the page to say something idiotic, looking to get a rise out of people for their
own entertainment.

And it worked.

I don't waste my time protesting things that are clearly meant to elicit an emotional response.

[liberalhistorian]

15. It's kinda like how Wally World

won't allow any music with "obscene or questionable" lyrics or any "questionable" books, but is one of the top sellers of assault rifles, and many types of guns. Yeah, right. BLEH to them both, fucking hypocrites.

[L0oniX]

16. Reported! n/t

[Luminous Animal]

17. Reported.

[handmade34]

18. reported it

makes me nauseous

[mokawanis]

19. Reported

There's some really twisted people out there.

[jsr]

21. WTF.

What an asshole.

[sheshe2]

22. That makes me ill. nt

[LeftishBrit]

23. Sickening. Reported.

[kag]

24. I also reported.

I can't believe FB would look at this and say it's okay. If nothing else, they're probably setting themselves up for a lawsuit.

[Sienna86]

25. Reported it.

Unbelievable.

[mailman82]

26. Reported it!

[Babel_17]

27. I reported it too (nt)

[Helen Reddy]

28. Facebook

is a play ground for all the sick *ucks.

[sufrommich]

29. This makes me physically ill.

There are monsters among us.

[Initech]

33. As a male I find this repulsive and embarrassing beyond belief.

[sufrommich]

34. It makes me weep for humanity. I'll

bet they cheer on the Taliban.

[smirkymonkey]

63. +10.000

This is just sick.

[Initech]

30. What. The Fucking. Fuck.

[Liberal_in_LA]

31. that's ugly

[Still Blue in PDX]

36. I reported it as well. nt

[LittleGirl]

39. I reported the page

eom

[mercuryblues]

40. Thank you all

[karynnj]

41. Reported - this is sick

[Bonobo]

42. Reported. nt

[CTyankee]

43. How do I get OFF of Facebook?

[LadyHawkAZ]

44. This is still up, so I reported the more graphic photos as well

Last edited Mon Mar 4, 2013, 09:24 PM - Edit history (2)

Damn. I was hoping it would be down by the time I got home from gym.

Edit to add: well, that was fun. I reported two photos and got this response on both.

Status
Photo not removed
Details
Thank you for your report. We carefully reviewed the photo you reported, but found it doesn't violate our community standard on graphic violence so we didn't remove it.

Clicked the link marked "community standards on graphic violence:
"People use Facebook to share events through photos and videos. We understand that graphic imagery is a regular component of current events, but must balance the needs of a diverse community. Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited."

So, I clicked the link marked "give feedback", and gave some:

Facebook: Whether or not you agree with the action Facebook took, did you understand the explanation you received in the support dashboard?
Me: No
Facebook: What didn’t you understand about the explanation you received from Facebook?
Me: HOW the FUCK did a photo of a woman dripping blood, on a page celebrating domestic violence, not meet the standard of "Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited."???
Facebook: Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your experience reporting this content?
Me: Yes. This is already going viral. Suggest you remove head from ass and page from Facebook before you embarrass yourselves any further.

I may not have a Facebook account in a couple hours, but it was worth it.

[mercuryblues]

46. I think that is

perfect. I am getting to the point to close my account.

[magellan]

47. There are several people behind that disgusting page, and they do it "for the lulz"

That's what the person monitoring and posting on it tonight claims. "She" also claims to be a woman who was abused. Not buying that. The idea of a group of emotionally stunted nitwits posting pain to reel in outraged users for laughs rings more true.

Worse it seems Facebook approves of this kind of twisted humor at other people's expense, even if it exploits domestic abuse. The page is still up, and hundreds must have reported it by now because it's drawn a lot of attention.

So...photos of breastfeeding = bad.

Photos and violent talk of abuse = good.

Kind of sums up the sick state of this country, doesn't it?

[Sissyk]

48. I saw cali's thrad on this.

I'm not a facebook user but she gave me a link to report abuse even if you are not. I think it worked. So, if anyone is like me and not a facebook user, look for cali's thread and you can also alert.

[magellan]

49. **UPDATE** - It's gone! Finito! History!

[pnwmom]

50. Thanks for letting us know!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

51. Must be because yor link now takes me back to my own page. n/t

[defacto7]

54. It's not gone, but I refuse to advertise where you can find it.

At least things like this are less accessible.

[2naSalit]

55. Even though I can't see it

because I'm NOT a FB user, it certainly adds to the list of reasons I will never consider joining.

[mercuryblues]

56. Wow

Thank all of you. The site is gone. Times like this make DU rock.

Now if I can just stay out of meta.

What some people don't realize is when you have people that demean and de-humanize women, pages like this are a direct result.
When politicians try to control a woman's body; attempt to downplay rape; block the VAWA act; compare women to cows and pigs; say “a lot of people like being in abusive relationships.”; reduce their work to "I saw your boobs"; sell t-shirt that say Knife her, choke her, rape her, on and on and on, this becomes the norm. It feeds into the mindset of sickos like this that they are correct in thinking women are nothing but sluts to beat on.

To a normal person it may mean nothing more than a stupid remark, "satire" gone wrong or women should not take this stuff seriously. It is a myopic view to say the least. It enables those to take it to the extreme.

[magellan]

59. Exactly, it's a sickness that breeds more sickness

And that page *is* gone, even though several of us received emails from FB stating that it didn't violate their "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities".

Before it disappeared, I saw one of the owners of that page accuse someone of being the Gestapo for reporting it. Evidently they're among the (too) many who cling to the First Amendment on the internet, claiming it gives them the right to say anything they like without repercussion. But they do know better. Otherwise they wouldn't confine themselves to anonymity on a social network to spread their crap; they'd be out on the street holding up an image of a beaten woman and telling strangers, "She should have gotten worse. I usually like to make sure she's unconscious by the time i'm done. Learns better that way." (As was written on that sick page.)

The politicians who speak in dehumanizing, vile terms about women own this, as does anyone who fails to tell them it's completely unacceptable and demand they be held accountable. Which is pretty much every other politician. This is a failure of leadership.

[mercuryblues]

62. +1

[L0oniX]

58. Responce from Facebook: They decided that it does NOT violates its terms.

[LittleBlue]

60. Breastfeeding pictures??? What's wrong with this country

OMG a woman is b-b-b-breastfeeding! Think of the children! Sure they can buy a video game where they massacre thousands of people and it won't be censored, but boobs will ruin them

(Note that I'm for expressive freedom in video games, it's just an illustration of how silly this society is about nudity)

As to the page, it's set up by Internet trolls to stir your emotions. All I can think is, meh, desperate shit-stirrers are desperate. They always have been on the Internet trying to get a rise out of you, and they always will.

[Canuckistanian]

61. Page doesn't exist

Good work, looks like the alerts worked!
