Had to happen sometime

May have been previous occurrences that I am not aware of.

Video of murder posted to facebook.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim

First time (we know of) for that. Yet there have been numerous FB & twiter postings of sexual assaults, kidnappings and just plain ol stupid presented to the general public.

All they are talking about on the radio this morning.

Took 'em a couple hours to take it down. Funny how quick they can find pro-conservative/anti-progressive stuff and remove that. I despise FB.

Between this and the other kidnapping and assaults done via FB live, we should probably just get rid of that feature. We need common sense FB control! Maybe background checks before you get access? Finger printed and checked it you want to carry the app concealed. After all, the founders didnt know the internet and social media would exist back then so the first amendment does NOT apply to it, right?

The video of the killing is on Live Leak. Unedited and horrendous. Keep a wary eye out, he might be in Colorado.

They are calling Facebook Live the new Roman Coliseum.
Rome is burning... but at least the Bachelor is all new this week, amirite?

I wonder how long it will be before some enterprising law firm sues FB for this feature, essentially saying that providing this kind of un-editable platform for sociopaths encourages them to commit acts they otherwise would not, by providing exactly the kind of public forum that these sickos are looking for.

FB even encourages it with their ads "if you have something to say and you want everyone to hear it, use facebook live." Uh, OK, what if "what you want to say " is "I hate you all and I'm going to kill people" (or myself - there have been several FB Live suicides, too.)

I never quite understood the appeal of "going live" with facebook but then again I'm not a teenager or twenty-something so I guess it's just something I don't "get."

Craig's list has been sued multiple times for being the vehicle with which crimes were set up. Everyone knows what this piece of trash looks like now.

Here is my question...why will our legal system not go after the Mom in this case...he reported it to her prior and she did not alert authorities. Same with the therapists and Moms of MOST of the whack job mass murders or random killings. Our society wants to hold gun-makers and bar-tenders responsible for a "possible" but not direct personal connections who KNEW the person was headed over the edge. That is whacked to me.
