There are two pages on Facebook right now:
"RIOT for Trayvon Martin"
"Kill george zimmerman (blank) (blank)"
I reported both for threats of violence, per Facebook's reporting tool.
It took Facebook about 20 minutes to respond to the "Kill" page. I got a message that it was reviewed, but not removed because it was not considered a credible threat of violence and didn't violate their TOS.
I'm waiting for the next response, although I've seen several posts that others have reported the "RIOT" group and FB refused to remove it because they didn't feel it was a credible threat.
This is after Facebook suspended FoxNew's Todd Starnes and removed this quote from his timeline (it was against TOS):

"I'm about as politically incorrect as you can get. I'm wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gaither Vocal Band singing 'Jesus Saves' on the stereo and a Gideon's Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I'm politically incorrect and happy as a June bug."

Hmm....interesting. No threats of riots, violence or murder. Just a funny quote about political incorrectness. So apparently, I can start a Facebook page "RIOT if Zimmerman found guilty" and be ok. I could probably even start a page "Kill the rioters" and Facebook should let it stand per the precedent they set. However, I cannot write a post about being politically incorrect.
