By now most of you are aware of the incident that happen in Chicago two days ago when four young Afro-Americans kidnapped a mental challenging white Caucasian man, beat him up, cut part of his skelp a couple of times and yelled racial remarks about our up-coming Potus, Donald Trump, I believe they wanted to make it a glorified spectacle on FACEBOOK LIVE! I was very excited when I first used Facebook’s new streaming venture to watch my Chicago Cubs win the World Series after waiting 108 years.About threes ago I was able to see my fellow protestors stand up for what happen at Standing Rock and the Dakota Pipeline protest.
I am sure Facebook had so many venues in mind when they first started, weddings, medical surgeries, church services, instant disasters alerts, and probably the future of our cell phone, the Facebook Phone. How ever I feel that because of Facebook Live, I am now a guinea pig, just waiting to get beat up. I suffer from cerebral palsy and just turned seventy years old, and I think I have every right to be, and I don’t want Facebook to end there new streaming service, but I wish there would be away to protect me, maybe like an OnStar emergency alert. How about a separate device, like the medical emergency alerts I see advertised in my AARP magazines.
I know that there are many positive sides to Facebook Live, especially with all the past police incidents, but I think there are going to be many terrible events to come from suicides to terrorist beheadings, but right now I am scared and want how we can use Facebook Live in a more positive way, and learn what happened in Chicago.
