Anyone else traumatized by NZ videos?

BARF feels like watching an episode of Friends, supposedly based in NY, after 9/11. Life was portrayed on the show as if a calamity had never happened.

I had the misfortune of watching a 30 second clip of NZ muslim massacre and haven't been able to erase it from memory. And today's news of the youngest victim who was 3 year old when the gunman shot him dead just put me in major depression similar to that of post 9/11 when I spent days just staring at TV hoping I would wake up and the towers would still be standing :(

Am I the only one?
 
I try to avoid viewing videos of incidents like the NZ massacre. No upside. Watched a "fail" video on YouTube the other day where a refinery worker was cleaning, something ignited in the boiler, and blew him to smithereens. Truly bothered me for days. Wish it could be unseen. Will be more cautious about watching random videos.

No. I'm not. 9/11 was tougher, because my cousin is NYPD and went missing for 3 days, because he went to ground zero.

I did not watch the video. I understand why, of course, police investigators and detectives are going to watch the video. But for the ordinary public, there's not much information to be gained from watching the video. That video was made and indeed live streamed exactly so it would gather publicity and terrorize us.

No issue because I'd never watch the video. I'm not able to fathom why anyone would want to watch something like that.

Well, at least Google disabled their filters to help control the damage - since they are incapable of screening graphic content.

I read the "manifesto" and watched the video.

I like to know the truth of what's out there in the world. It's often ugly and violent. Seen things that are hard to shake, but it's reality none the less.
 
Not that I'm interested in watching it, but briefly whats the Mexican chainsaw video?

Got posted in here a while back. Couple of cartel hitmen got executed by other hitmen...by way of chainsaw beheading. Dudes just sat there and took it. Didn't even flinch like they knew what was up because they'd done the same to others or something.

Yeah, skimmed the manifesto myself, haven't quite read the whole thing yet. Read enough to agree with one NZ news article's analysis that it was designed to cause further conflict and drama and is a total troll-piece though. I mean at one point he posts the whole "internet navy seal copy pasta" rant as a response to a hypothetical question / statement. He also says he could be equally defined as right or left wing depending on what the issue is / who's defining it, and there's far less crazy gibberish than you'd expect compared to what he wrote on his gear. From an analysis standpoint, he also has a decent bit of twisted logic embedded in it. And disclaimer for those aghast I could find any sort of logic in the rantings of a mass murderer - this is not new to me and I have a pretty decent military / law enforcement background. There is a lot of intelligence value to this guy's videos and posts that a number of people are digging through right now.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

a news agency took the navy seal copypasta seriously : | or at least said that he claimed to be one with over 300 confirmed kills

There was an open in Washington Post warning not to read in to the manifesto as it was basically meme ladden troll piece from sick minds of 8chan. Looks like they fell for it. :facepalm

He literally fed political bait to people with it, and while Bud's warned us about posting political stuff in the sink, let's just say quite a few people are playing straight into the shooter's hands. 8chan is probably laughing their asses off right now. Which only means more people will be "inspired" by him and we'll see more copycats.

News agency's are more after shock value and click-bait than reporting the news. it's disgusting change to just taking something juicy without bothering to confirm if it's true or not.
