Facebook on Thursday refused to respond to mounting questions over its apparent failure to take down a live broadcast of the brutal attack of a young man with disabilities in Chicago.

Incomplete instructions. Type in "Facebook Security" where? There are six different fields on this page...

I hear the Hillary supporters calling you over on your coveted facebook you should run along.

Anybody can do live view but only subhuman savages would torture someone and televise it.

They got you on speed dial?

Yeah, it's Facebook's fault. They did it. They liked it.

I bet you could run it better.

Oh no, you don't love me?

What if I was getting tortured? How would you help me?

If it had been a Southern Baptist preacher on live feed it would’ve been shut down in less than five minutes.

This kidnapping, torture, humiliation, and cutting video is about a step away from a snuff film and Facebook was chill with it.
