If it's grim then why have you posted? I implore you to take it down. It's terrible that shit like this finds it's way onto the net. Imagine if you were related to this person and stumbled upon the footage.
Seriously poor form.

I posted a link to a news feed on events via Vice news. The video is not the only content on there and I warned against watching the video if they were sensitive to such things.
I imagine you believe in a world where people are able to choose what they do and don't see.

Death and the dying are shown every day in the news. Not just on Vice but on mainstream news media all over the world. Every time this happens it is utterly horrible for the family of the person involved. So why do we let it happen? If you make an exception for one why not make an exception for them all?
I'll tell you why: because it is the job, the responsibility of the media to report what happens in the world and it is not our job to sugar coat it.
Be horrified at the act, not the fact is has been reported.
Showing that video is exercising the very freedom of speech Charlie Hebdo were fighting for.
