Thai man kills baby on Facebook Live then takes own life

A Thai man filmed himself killing his baby daughter on Facebook Live, before taking his own life, Thai police say.

The 21-year-old hanged his daughter, and then himself, at a deserted hotel in Phuket on Monday, reportedly after an argument with his wife.

Facebook sent condolences to the family for the "appalling" incident and said that the content had now been removed.

The company pledged a review of its processes after footage of a US killing stayed online for hours this month.

This is reminding me of an old Twilight Zone episode where they would broadcast executions. The mild mannered librarian blew himself up


I think Rod Serling might have had a glimpse of the future.

That was one of the better episodes, titled "The Obsolete Man", with Burgess Merideth as the librarian and Fritz Weaver as the party leader who tries him. Last episode of season 2, just watched it a couple of weeks' back.

Well, he got all the time he wants and all the time he needs, too.

Under the Democrat party rule...

“Imagine, if you will, a time and place where there is no history because there are no books.  There is no religion because there is no Bible.  But even before the Bible was eliminated, God was disproven and banned from worship or mention.  The only thing that exists is The State, run by a small group of elites who rule and judge according to their own beliefs, or lack thereof…”

Serling’s ‘The Obsolete Man’ was meant to highlight the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of maintaining and fighting for our God-given rights (including freedom of religion and speech).   Once The State eliminates those, nothing else matters.

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future; not a future that will be, but one that might be.  This is not a new world: It is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advancements, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom.  But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: Logic is an enemy, and truth is a menace. (Camera switches to the convicted man) This is Mr. Romney Wordsworth, in his last forty-eight hours on Earth. He’s a citizen of the State, but will soon have to be eliminated, because he’s built out of flesh and because he has a mind. Mr. Romney Wordsworth, who will draw his last breaths in the Twilight Zone.

Another favorite was "The old man in the cave". Its message was that man needs faith in something.

I'm so grateful Twilight Zone is on Netflix. I watched it in its entirety there several times. Great stuff.

Nice to see famous actors when they were just starting out too.
