Get It, we don't care what criminals do to themselves. When they take themselves out it costs us less, and prevents any possibility people like YOU will get them released forever!

In this way these predators you on the left love so well, will never again be predators.

WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINK EITHER.
Pretty much. My ability to sympathize with a criminal ends when they commit a violent act.
I reserve my sympathy for the victims. The ones who suffered at the hands of the criminal. I can even sympathize with the family of the criminal who is forced to live with the legacy the criminal created.

A helocopter and a camera person have live coverage, feed is live to TV stations of a car chase, the driver gets out of the car and shoots himself in the head and people are outraged and Shepard Smith apologizes for showing it. Who the hell is he for apologizing for showing something happening live on TV? Should the feed have been cut when the driver got out of the car? took a gun from his waist band? lifted his hand? placed the gun to his head? pulled the trigger?
Are the complainers on here just complaining because it was 'Fox News?
Little Sheppie is a wus. First, he had a hissy fit. Then he apologized. Wussie boy.

And isn't it funny how many people who never watch Fox saw it.

It's no mystery why Fox is far and away #1! Everybody is watching Fox. Even those who never watch it.

The truth has a funny way of coming out.

I read somewhere that it was watched live at some offices while people were working, and they got sick as a result. So because you may be calloused based on your life experiences it doesnt make anyone elses life experiences better or less than. I am over it now, because someone made a great a reference about NFL replacements. So give me a break.....really its not that serious
With all due respect, Chica_Bella, you have every right to call me "calloused" if you prefer, however . . .

Nowadays, anyone who becomes physically sick from watching that relatively mild car chase ending is blatantly OVERREACTING and definitely needs to GET OUT MORE.

Granted it was a tragic ending, or possibly a blessing in disguise, but what was actually televised on FoxNews was extremely mild by comparison to much of the stuff on TV and in the movies today.

I wonder. Did Chica become physically ill when cnn showed the beheadings?
How about when CNN shows looters. Gang bangers?

Fox news didnt get to pull the feed before the man did it, Shepard smith came back on and apologized but I have NEVER seen such a thing..I feel sick to my stomach to have been subjected to seeing a criminal commit suicide on Fox News. I normally dont watch Fox, but I wanted to see what they were saying about the elections and then I am subjected to this....#garbage
Maybe it is time you realize what is going on in the world. This actually happens many times a day, maybe not a suicide, but someone getting shot. If not in some ghetto, then in the outskirts of a Mexican town, or worse than this happening to some of our military personnel. It is a fact of life in these times.

Attn: OP

If this was too much for you, you best not go see the movie Loopers. You will likely walkout after the first 10 minutes.

I watched the video and honestly it didn't phase me. I was expecting something graphic given some of the reactions. But I may be ruined as the combo of my morbid curiosity and the internet has desensitized me to just about anything. I made the mistake of watching the Dagestan massacre a few years back and I will never be the same. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Bummer it was just so unexpected. I was relaxing and then saw that, I just didnt expect that to happen. I dont watch many car chases, and the ones i have watched didnt end like this. For the one who asked about the behadings, NO i didnt watch that NOR what I want to. I prefer not to watch violent films or movies. I didnt like the recent batman movie, too violent and with the masacre surrounding it, just way too much. Everyone reacts differently to things. Perhaps you may have been exposed to alot of grotesque things. At first I thought why the hell is the man running like that and i was laughing because he was pullin up his pants and running through grass then he stopped and shot himself dead. I am over now, but I was very shocked the hour it happened. And I have taken your comments to light respectively. Thank you

I found a 16 year kid laying face down in a ditch dead with his shoes on the road after a hit and run. You don't have to tell me. That's just the nice parts of my life. You don't want to know the rest.

I didn't read pages 3-16 of this thread, but has anyone mentioned "animals" or "Obama's America" yet?
