While this is quite annoying, especially when most of those people really have nothing to say, it’s not a reason to kill someone. Well, not for normal people, but there are some that have decided to kill people because of what they posted on social media.

According to ranker.com, most people are on the internet… searching, stalking, and creeping. But a few social media experts have taken it a step further: they’ve used their online profiles to kill. In a world ruled by digital communication, posting the wrong status update can be fatal.

These are some of the most deranged and crazy things people have done on social media sites. (Oh, and Craigslist doesn’t count because that’s not as much of a social network as it is a cesspool.) Are murders the newest and most dangers social media trend? You have to read to find out! Enjoy.

Adam had had enough of ex-wife Lisa’s passive-aggressive Facebook posts about his child support payments, so he cut the passive and just got aggressive. One evening, he beat her with a hammer before slashing her neck. Then he left her body for the couple’s five-year-old son to discover the next day.

Stickin’ it to the child support system by traumatizing your kid for life? That’s about as low as you can get on the logical totem pole.

Why didn’t he just block her? Kids, please teach your parents how to use the Internet. It saves lives.

Scott Humphrey, 27, was sent to jail after he repeatedly punched his friend, Richard Rovetto, 29, in a cab on the way back from a guys’ night. Why was Humphrey so upset? Evidently, Rovetto had “poked” Humphrey’s girlfriend on Facebook. Rovetto claimed that he didn’t know the woman was Humphrey’s girlfriend.

The punches caused Rovetto to bleed profusely. He died when Humphrey pushed him to the ground, causing him to hit his head on the pavement. Humphrey fled the scene, but later turned himself in, admitted to manslaughter, and was jailed for four years, four months.

Even “adults” aren’t immune from crimes of murderous cyber jealousy. One day, Edward Richardson’s 26 year-old wife, Sarah, decided to change her relationship status from ‘married’ to ‘single.’ Now, this would piss off most married men – but since this couple was actually already kind of, y’know, separated, she probably didn’t see it as a big deal.

Edward Richardson felt differently.After their separation, Sarah decided to move back in with her parents, like every 26-year-old who’s made a terrible mistake tends to do.

Unfortunately for her, Edward decided to pull the old “sneak into the parents’ bedroom” trick, only this time, he snuck in to stab her to death… over her Facebook status. More accurately: He killed her because she changed her Facebook status. This is really the craziest part.

After he committed this brutal, spurred-by-hatred-of-Facebook-status-accuracy crime, Edward ended up killing himself.
