I second this notion. You should not watch the footage. I saw all of it and I really shouldn't have. It is absolutely the most disturbing thing I have ever seen and it has affected me.Ziggy587 wrote:I, unfortunately, saw the footage (someone showed it to me).

Re: So the whole world is kind of falling apart...
Here's download links for the webm videos; I think it's important that they be seen. Click the "download through your browser" links, don't install the custom downloader.

Shooting : mega:///#!IJxn0RrT!TrTGokcXz-RI1Jp7z3DIOsVg7Gen-YG05pLWl9p2qnY
Shooter is a former employee, according to his Twitter he wanted to kill the reporter because he felt it was racist that she got his job. Picture:

Re: So the whole world is kind of falling apart...
I disagree. I don't need to watch the footage, as I already know what has happened. I will wait for official announcement as to why it happened and what has happened with the shooter.
Frankly I've also already watched enough videos of people getting killed this year. Between the video of Eric Garner's strangulation by cops, ISIS execution videos, police shooting recordings, I'm good. I don't need to see this one to understand how heinous the crime is, regardless of the motivation of the person who committed it.

Re: So the whole world is kind of falling apart...
I am not against it being available to be seen, but I personally feel it is incredibly disgusting to watch. The actual news broadcast is hard to watch, but isn't as horrific as the Twitter videos which are the most disturbing.
Again, I urge people not to watch it, but everyone is free to do what they will.

The motivation is always some combination of entitlement, narcissism, and sociopathy. Anything else is just an excuse.Ack wrote:the motivation of the person who committed it

Don't forget drugs. Drugs are the motivation and proponent of some crazy stuff.prfsnl_gmr wrote: The motivation is always some combination of entitlement, narcissism, and sociopathy. Anything else is just an excuse.
I'm not on the fence, I'm far from a fence. There is no fence. I don't think it is healthy, emotionally and physically, for people to watch other people being murdered.
But RAMBO is awesome.
You don't want to sponsor a murderer, which is what social media is doing.
Side note; We need Internet journalism that has no click bait, no comments, and no "shares". *shouts at cloud* I'd love a digital newspaper that is an actual copy of the actual newspaper. The ads are already there, so no pop-ups please.

I take it you've never seen the footage of the newscaster who put a gun to her head to sign off from her broadcast and pulled the trigger.BogusMeatFactory wrote:I second this notion.

Stop. I say no more nominations of gross videos, and no 2 girls one cup jokes.
I know why isis soldiers destroy non-islamic stuff, but I don't know "why" they do. Who thinks it would be great to destroy art that's over two thousand years old? Can't they just light a bag of dog shit on fire and leave it at the door of a Cathedral? No one dies, it sends a message, and is Adam Sandler funny.
isis reminds me of a "motorcycle club" who was about raping, killing, and generally f**cking shit up. But on a much bigger scale.

Nope. The guy tried to kill himself. He still has a pulse.
