“I got a pretty good lesson on political correctness,” Kenneth Murdock said when apologizing for his angry, booze-fuelled social media posts, one of which was aimed at a prison worker. In July he was returned to prison after two untoward posts on social media that he says were taken the wrong way. In September 2016, he made a threatening statement in a social media post, but quickly retracted it, the parole board said. Then, this July, he sent his former correctional officer a social media message that was taken as an ominous threat. He meant it to be a teasing comment and expected the officer to reply with a sarcastic retort, he told the parole board.
