Agree. After he said he had already done it 13 times and then showed it publicly , he is obviously looking for massive attention. (which thank God the ‘13’ iseems to be untrue).

I’m hoping he’s ‘calmed down’ from the craziness he felt yesterday. Perhaps he will just take himself out at this point.

Saw that video last night.

Also realized something: despite playing games like Battlefield 4 and Grand Theft Auto V and gunning down thousands of simulated people on them, I was no less appalled than I would have been decades ago by such a thing.

I guess its that thing... reality.

I always thought of hiding your phone in another person’s car or on a semi. Heck you could even mail it somewhere to throw people off.

Breaking News-just got it.
This is a developing story

Just after 12:30 p.m., a call went out on Philadelphia police radio saying that alleged Cleveland killer Steve Stephens may be in Philadelphia. One Philly cop we spoke with says that police are currently searching for the so-called “Facebook killer” — the term also being used on police radio — and a section of Strawberry Mansion was reportedly on lockdown.

A spokesperson for the Philadelphia Police Department said that no further information was currently available.

Facebook needs to go out of business.

In my opinion FB is worse than the Media because it not only is opposed to freedom, but it is coercive. I have a FB page but can't manage it because FB won't let me log on unless I send them the image of s government ID. They can go **** themselves.
