Despite many of us growing up with a stuffed-bear as a friend, in reality they can be pretty scary animals. I’m sure you’re familiar with Leo DiCaprio’s Oscar winning role in The Revenant.

Steve Stephens was driving down a road in Ohio on Sunday when he selected a 74-year old man at random. He jumped out of his car and shot the stranger in the head while broadcasting the brutal and unprovoked attack on Facebook Live.
