Olympic Shotgunner Wins Gold Again. So Meta Shut Him Down.

[Sedalia Dave]

Vincent Hancock did it again. The 35-year-old won the Men’s Skeet Olympic gold medal, breaking a wildly-impressive 58 out of 60 clay targets and edging out his fellow teammate, competitor and student, Connor Prince, by just one shot.

 

Hancock became a four-time Olympic gold champion in his sport, having previously earned Olympic gold medals in 2008, 2012, and 2021. He is the only skeet shooter to take home an Olympic gold medal more than once.

 

That should earn him some accolades. Maybe something like a Google-doodle. Don’t count on it, though. The Big Tech overlords celebrated in a much more sinister fashion. Meta shut him down. No Facebook. No Instagram. No celebrations of American shooting gold.

That Olympic skeet is tuff stuff, up to delayed 3 sec release of target, gun down & target goes like  a rocket..Vincent Hancock is one hell of a shooter.

Some media are a bunch of wankers...

He is on there but has been what they call shadow banned. He hasn't been outright banned by Meta but his posts will not appear unless you go looking specifically for them, they will NEVER will pop up in the "suggested for you" or news feeds. 

 

Rather sad given his accomplishment.

 

Think of it as doing something that should appear on the front page of the paper but instead you get a 2 line passing mention on the second to last page.

 

The SASS fb pages have been treated the same way. Unless you search specifically for the page it will never come up in the suggested for you or news feeds.

Socialism is an economic system characterized by collective ownership of the means of production.  It has nothing to do with Facebook's decision to "shadow ban" an Olympic shooter.

I'll cut them off.

 

Oh, wait!  I already did that several years ago.

If you’re on Facebook and Instagram you can follow this guy and then share it on your page so at least friends can see it. 
I’m going to do just that. 

[Father Kit Cool Gun Garth]

He's on too.

 

AND here too.

Trap and Skeet were available.  My television Coverage is by cable and I was able to request the Trap and Skeet shooting events.  The Major Broadcast to only carries the Hot Button popular events that garner large audiences.  Sort of like Brake Dancing ??  Gimmie a Break !!!!!

i know what it is and i know what is getting pushed on us , im sick of their thinking - its failed everywhere they 6tried it without a dictator that killed people to keep it alive , its a system that keeps people in slavery , too much of that these days ,
