Poll of the Day > Did you watch the video of the Facebook Live Killer?

(+) Yeah! (+)

In the many situations like this one, I always wonder how many people actually go out and watch the videos. I usually do. Reluctantly, but I feel it's somehow important to watch.
---

Nope as I don't care.
---

I was scared to, I thought it might be frightening. But no. You didn't even really get a clear look at the guy as he was shot.
---

................................why would I ever do a thing like that?
---

I couldn't bring myself to it. I've seen people get killed in videos before, but not like that.
---

yeah man idk why because i usually just avoid that type of shit. but I saw it this morning and really regret looking at it.
---

ive never cared for those faces of death type videos

I would have at 15

Way over that stuff now. Makes me sick now.

Looking at old black-and-white photos of beheaded pirates was bad enough, so nope.
---

I saw a news report that showed the video and cut it off right after he first started harassing the old guy, and that was tough enough to watch, so fuck no, I'm not watching the whole thing.


Also, I was wondering why they don't use the guy's phone he posted the video from to track him down. I mean, maybe they are, but I didn't see anything like that mentioned on the news (perhaps because it could encourage him to turn off the phone)

I've seen videos of people blowing their brains out, but I would never watch a video of someone running for their life from a smug gunman. That's the next level.

I didn't have to search it out. I found out about from /r/watchpeopledie.

I actually was browsing 4chan coincidentally the afternoon after it happened, and stumbled upon the video, not knowing what it was (or how recent it was) until I saw everyone's comments about it. It's not a particularly brutal video compared to many I've seen on there, but the fact that it was just some random innocent bystander made it very sad.

This clarifies any worries that I had that I might be a psycho deep down.

Every video makes me sick and angry and sad. -_-

People should never kill people.

I didn't at first cause I was disturbed that it had even took place. I guess several hours along the line, the desensitization kicked in and I just ended up coming across it. I don't think I actively looked for it because I didn't want to see it.

I don't like gore or killing at all, like you're not gonna catch me watching a fucking beheading video ever. But some time after that I then ended up coming across justice killing videos (attempted robbers, idiots charging at cops, etc.) I don't even know why, I'm kind of unhinging mentally.

I think that's how everything started.

I happened across it on a certain seedy website. If I didn't know the backstory, I wouldn't think it were as bad as some of the other videos I've seen (like the myriad of ISIS videos) but knowing the backstory makes it a lot worse.
---

No, because I have a rule whereby I refuse to watch vertical videos. #TurnYourPhoneSideways
---

Yeah, it was fairly tame.

I don't understand why anyone would ever want to watch these videos in the first place, nevermind that by doing so you're playing right into the killer's desire for notoriety and infamy and effectively justifying, to him and anyone else considering doing the same, his actions.
---

No reason I would want to watch that.
---

I just watched it then.... very sad.
---

Didn't look for it, it came up on my twitter so i watched it.. it was meh, i've seen worse.
