Idaho man accused of murder had hundreds of disturbing posts on his Facebook page

IDAHO FALLS -- A man accused of killing his girlfriend spent a great deal of time posting bizarre things on Facebook over the weekend.

Philip Schwab, 33, was arrested Monday after police discovered the body of Kaylynn Blue, 33, in a shallow grave in the backyard of a home on Thayer Bridge Circle. She had been stabbed to death, according to Idaho Falls Police Chief Bryce Johnson. The bodies of two dogs were found in the garage, also stabbed to death.

Between 7:30 a.m. Friday and 7:30 a.m. Monday, Schwab posted hundreds of seemingly nonsensical posts. Many of the posts, either written by Schwab or shared memes, referenced relationships, politics, sex, or violent behavior.

Some of the posts are especially troubling in context with the killing, such as:

▪ “What would I be doing with a shovel, b****??”

▪ “If stabbing people is wrong I don’t want to be right!”

▪ “How to get away with murder… twice!”

▪ “Dead IS better!”

▪ “Good thing I have a get-out-of-jail-free card dumbs***!”

▪ “I like drawing it out”

▪ “Take it, w*****… take it!!”

▪ “You won’t hurt any longer”

▪ “She deserved quicker…”

F Facebook. Unless we stop using it, it will not change. Quit Facebook and Facebook quits tolerance for and acceptance of this shit.

Why don't you take a stab at telling me what keywords a censorship algorithm should include?

Think they can code that one in? I could write a script for them in ~ 2 mins if they need help.

Flag and review. It's not censorship, it's awareness and responsibility for their own platform that is clearly too big for them to handle <or> they just wrap themselves in the flag of free speech so they can avoid responsibility for becoming the HQ of misinformation and propaganda; and a venue for hate disguised as a way to connect with grandma and a high school buddy you never really liked in the first place. And they just happen to make a few bucks along the way.

Wonder how the stabbed gal in the shallow grave in his backyard feels about "censorship" of Facebook posts.
