Bruh Issa Murder  

Track 7: Violent Social Media Crimes

Summary:

Kelly and Andre discuss two disturbing cases involving men who committed heinous crimes. In the first case, they talk about Ali Abulaban, a TikTok star who became violent toward his wife and eventually killed her and her friend. Despite confessing to his mother and telling his daughter that he hurt his wife, he maintains his innocence. In the second case, they discuss Earl Lee Johnson Jr., who live-streamed himself torturing and stabbing a woman to death on Instagram. The video remained on the platform for a significant amount before being removed. These cases highlight the need for more effective efforts to address drug addiction, mental health issues, and the role of social media in facilitating violent content.

Key Takeaways:

1. Men who commit violent acts often show signs of volatility and easily provoked behavior.
2. Social media platforms struggle to police violent content promptly and effectively remove it.
3. The bystander effect does not always apply online, as viewers of violent content can actively participate and engage with the perpetrator.
4. Drug addiction and mental health issues can contribute to violent behavior and should be addressed more effectively.
