Twitter can be a fearsome thing. Which is why Texas Rangers are investigating... parodic Twitter accounts, which make fun of one town's council.
The mock tweeters include one councilman’s moustache, which is publishing zingers that include, “(Coucilman) Keith (Olson) likes to abuse his powers like I like to abuse his face.” Another from the handle Laughable Loll cracked, “I shined my head extra special for tonight so the camera would reflect off of it.”
Not laughing is the local prosecutor. He says the tweets may run afoul of harassment laws and asked the Rangers to investigate.
This is actually pretty funny. But it reminds us of how state power can smack down social media users.
