Robert Goodwin Sr.

I’m saddened and also sickened by the murder of a harmless old man by the name of Robert Godwin Sr. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you already know Godwin was the 74-year old gentleman minding his own business, walking with a plastic bag in hand and believed to be picking up cans along the sidewalk when a heartless, cold blooded killer selected him randomly for death because he wanted to…

A Call for Prayer

ARNHEM, The Netherlands (Reuters) -

 A 15-year-old Dutch boy was sentenced to just ONE year in juvenile detention for stabbing to death a girl whose Facebook posts reportedly led to a contract for her killing. The court said the boy did NOT know the victim and had murdered her "at the request or instructions of others". Dutch media reported that the 15-year-old victim, named in court documents as Winsie, had argued for weeks with two friends on the social networking site before they allegedly asked the defendant, who was 14 at the time, to kill her. He was offered a 1,000 euro payment (just over $1200). "I am not happy with one year for my daughter's life," her father said outside the courthouse. "But that's what the law book says. We were powerless and so were the authorities."

Any law permitting a murderer a free life after one year, regardless of age, is seriously wrong and dangerous.

What about the 2 "friends" who called the hit??? They're just as bad, arguably worse than the boy who stabbed her.

Seriously concerns me that young children and twisted predators with no conscience can be so swiftly connected.

CLEARLY we need to adapt the methods of protecting our families, raising our kids right, and staying vigilant.

I had a deleting spree a while ago and it caused so much drama- unexpected drama with people that I do not fool with in REAL life.  The fact that this happened in my home state says a lot because that state is where my deleting spree caused an uproar.  People, it is never that serious if someone defriends you.  There are several reasons why someone might but none of them give you the right to obsess, harass and even commit murder.  If it bothers you then maybe you should reevaluate the content that you have on social media.  If that does not help then OH WELL!  At the end of the day social media gives us all a 2nd life, but we all have real ones when we log off so live the real one and let it go.

Facebook and murder don't play nice together

London Eley in Philadelphia posted on Facebook: "I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father." You might wonder if anyone could be even stupider than that. His name is Timothy Bynum and he said he would do the killing. Being a cop must be lazier than it once was. Before, you'd have to investigate clues, collect evidence, interview suspects, maybe chase people. Now you can sit on Facebook and wait for people to put THEMSELVES in jail.
