Facebook user Benito Apolinar, who hails from the great state of Texas, had posted a loving status update to his Facebook page on the anniversary of his mother's death. Then he waited for the "likes" to roll in. You know how that is: One finds a strange sense of fulfillment in the totally meaningless clicks of approval from friends and acquaintances and friends of acquaintances' friends.
Well, the "like" from Dolores Apolinar, Benito's wife, never came. That led to a confrontation. ("Your passive-aggressive withholding of a Facebook 'like' is the social media equivalent of urinating on my dear mother's grave, you heinous and unfeeling whore!" he did not for sure say, but hopefully did.)
Whatever words were exchanged, it quickly escalated into a physical altercation, during which Benito "hit" Dolores and "pulled her hair," according to the criminal complaint. Now he's facing battery charges.
The moral of this story, America? Get off Facebook today, before some lunatic rips your hair out for not 'liking' the picture he put up of his grandma.
