Couple killed over facebook
Facebook "defriending" led to double murder, police say
Quote:
A Tennessee couple who "defriended" a woman on Facebook were murdered in their home by the jilted woman's father and another man, police said on Thursday.
The case was not the first involving violence linked to Facebook. Last year in Iowa, a woman was arrested on accusations of setting fire to a friend's garage after she was defriended on the social network site, local media reported.
In Texas, a man was accused of hitting his wife after she failed to "like" a Facebook post he wrote about the anniversary of his mother's death, according to media reports.

Holy shit. WTF is wrong with people? Thank God they didn't harm the baby, but the poor thing will grow up without her parents, how horrible.

Yes, certainly the best way to describe a gentleman who uses a perceived internet slight against his daughter as reason to recruit another and murder two people would be "overprotective/overinvolved."
Certainly not "crazy" or anything.

I think I'll just de-friend everyone to see if anyone notices.

I still haven't jumped in the social-media pool after all these years, but just when I think I want to dip a toe in, I read stuff like this.

I hate that these things happen, but why does it always seem to be in my home state! Crazy and sad. The woman who died was a former student of my best friend.

Ok, I don't like how people try to blame Facebook over this stuff. The article clearly said that there is more to the story but they can't reveal it. I'm guessing this woman was stalking them or something and they were trying to make her stop. Don't friend people who aren't really your friends.
