I have been watching reality-based internet videos since they started putting them on the internet.
I estimate I have seen......200 beheadings(including 100 headsaw beheadings), at least 100 suicides, countless disasterous vehicle accidents. I could go on and on.
So this video is quiet tame IMHO.
Oh, I have seen plenty of graphic things as well. There are literally dozens of websites devoted to it (with varying levels of taste and tact). I found an interesting site about the ballistics of firearms that was extremely dry and informative, but also had probably about two hundred photos of fatal gunshot wounds that ranged from small, nearly bloodless holes to giant craters leaking brains where a face used to be.
But two things:
1) Most people don't seek that type of thing out and would prefer not to wallow in it. In fact, there is a significant portion of the population that doesn't know what a severed human head looks like and they would prefer NOT to know.
2) It's not so much that it was bloody, but rather that it was "disturbing". You can watch medical shows during daytime that show surgery and other medical procedures in explicit detail, but it's not a big deal because nobody died, but most mainstream shows and networks won't show someone who died of a sleeping pill overdose or jumping off a bridge because although it might not be "graphic" it is "disturbing".
I wonder. Did Chica become physically ill when cnn showed the beheadings?
How about when CNN shows looters. Gang bangers?
Good question. But also you can happen to be an innocent bystander and see gruesome things. I don't see why someone would want to try to pin all this on Fox news except for a poltical agenda they might have.
This happened in the PA capital of Harrisburg on January 22nd 1987.
This too was captured on live television.
It shows PA senator Budd Dwyer ending his life in front of a press conference that he called.
He is handing out envelopes to trusted colleagues containing apology notes and other information pertaining to his forthcoming death.
That wasn't very graphic. No blood, no brains, no gore, nothing close up at all, it just looks like he may have fallen down again.
Kids in the past saw much much worse - they saw the shooting of JFK, RFK, Oswald, MLK, the Pope, Reagan. And they saw a whole lot more graphic images with the pictures of Vietnam and the Holocaust.
To the OP sorry you are so sensitive to such things but try cleaning up after someone does that to themselves talk about real trauma.Fox's Shepard Smith earlier said repeatedly "this was not good" also saw what was about to happen tried to pull the feed but it was too late. Pray for this poor soul who felt his only choice was to end his life that is more tragic than your silly little cry....

Not graphic at all. It must suck to live in a bubble.
