I just watched a load of people hacking the shit out of each other in the new hobbit film but I chose not to watch the shooting because it is real and awful and I can grasp the horror without it (although I kind of feel like I should watch it if I'm going to argue about it). It has been recorded, people should be able to see it if they choose. If it was imbedded on this page I would be among the first to complain. If it was linked to without warnings I'd do the same. That hasn't happened and everyone who has viewed it from here has had an informed choice, as it should be. Shit stuff happens around the globe and now that we are more able than ever to see it as it occurs we should be able to see what we choose and form opinions based upon it's raw, unadulterated truthiness, if we choose to look at it. As bad as I'm sure this is there is much worse happening in places with much less coverage. I can't help but feel less bad stuff would happen if you could see more of it rather than less.
