How could I have handled a Soldier displaying gang affiliation on social media better?

I came across a soldier who displayed gang affiliation on his Facebook page. Throwing up gang signs, flashing colors, etc. I messaged him on June 23rd and advised him that gang affiliation is illegal to service members, and that he should remove the posts and the pictures. On July 4th, I happened across the message I sent and noticed that he read it almost immediately after I sent it (time stamps were the same),but he did not reply, so I checked the profile to see if they had been taken down. They had not. I sought counsel with two DS (that were mutual friends) and was told to contact CID. So I filed a report with the MPIs, and provided them with the evidence. Did I handle this the right way? Or is there another way I should have handled it?

You are a snitch ass little b**** for reporting something as harmless as hand signals. In my unit, you would have received a blanket party for that. Go f*** yourself if that's how you treat a fellow SM. You don't rat on your brothers no matter what. More so if you're his NCO. What kind of p**** a** little b****** are putting on the uniform these days?

Taylor, your attitude and response is a bit troublesome to me. I thank God you haven't been one of my soldiers, Id never put up with that kind of nonsense.

PV2 is triggered.
I hope you NEVER make any rank with that attitude.
If you don't like loving my strong morals and the values of being a part of something much bigger than you. I strongly advise you do your time and get out.
If you are afraid to do the right thing for fear of being labeled, maybe you are the scared one.

SPC (Join to see) - Pardon me for "eavesdropping" Lol! This is incredibly funny to me especially coming from a "hardened" Private no less! If you would like SPC, I'll join you in the bar to watch the show when it starts! I'm a firm believer that some lessons in life are best learned the hard way and this just may be one of them.

You didn't have to be a blue falcon about it. Let people f* up on their own. You're a specialist, fall back and enjoy the mafia life.

Right is right; wrong is wrong. If we don't enforce the standard from the top down, then why do we have them to begin with?

2 years ago and you just now downvote? Anyway it had nothing to do with you. If anything you probably ruined that kids life. You don’t know what he did In his free time.

SPC (Join to see) replies are showing 2 years later? May be because this showed up in my "suggested" facebook feed.
Ill admit even I didn't look at the date of the OP. And here I am replying away.
Who would have thunk a 2 year old post would get recommended?
