Selfie with a corpse- Hannah Clifford 6th period

http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/09/us/suspect-takes-selfie-with-homicide-victim/index.html

Ryan Mangan, 16, was found dead by his mother on Wednesday. The suspect, also 16, had sent a snapchat message to his friend that day with a picture of himself with the victim sitting dead in a chair behind him. This photo was a key piece of evidence in the police investigation. When the authorities searched the suspect's house, they found the gun that was used to kill the victim. The suspect confessed and was taken into custody.

This was written by stephanie gallman or CNN. There has always been crime in our country and there always will be, but this is disgusting. This 16 year old's freedom of speech was twisted into a sick misuse of social media. Not only is it gruesome to send a photo of a murdered body to someone, but it's also an extremely stupid idea, because it's one of the factors that got this boy caught.

  1. I completely agree that this act, done by that 16 year old, was completely disgusting and purely moronic. How stupid must you be to murder someone, then document the crime with a PHOTOGRAPH that you know will be out there forever???

  3. Woah, no kidding. It's astounding, though, how some people can do that, and feel that it's actually okay, and even a good idea, to share the homicide of another human being.
