SANITY: Twitter decides tweet promoting stabbing of ICE agents violates the rules on abusive behavior

As Twitchy reported Tuesday, an account associated with Occupy Wall Street posted a graphic called “What To Do If You Encounter An ICE Agent.” The answer was to stab him in the back and then rip his still-beating heart out of his chest to show to other ICE agents as a warning.

The graphic alone was gruesome, but couple it with the fact that people on social media are very seriously trying to out ICE agents so they can harass them at their homes and surround their children’s schools to scare them, and Twitter has a problem on its hands.

Fortunately, the graphic about murdering an ICE agent has been taken down.

Finally, Twitter gets one right.

Unfortunately, it seems all the offenders had to do was remove the offending tweet — the account, @OccupyWallStNYC, is still live. It’s good to know, though, that someone is awake at the switch at Twitter headquarters.
