Simple enough question to inquire as to the amount of interest in watching people get shot and if someone would admit to it.
Nope, I know enough to turn my stomach. Watching this demented video would hurt my soul.

There's a huge difference between watching something that is fiction and a real-time real-life massacre. You're conflating movies and games with real violence.
I can't find it online, I probably won't be able to watch it all the way through though.
The day of the shooting people kept putting it online on Twitter and Facebook, it was taken down, and people kept putting it back up. I noticed it was on Twitter and the clip was a little more than one minute long, so not the whole incident. Watched it and couldn't help but think how cowardly it was for the guy to keep shooting unarmed people like ducks in a barrel. One of the men he initially shot was trying to crawl away and he was shot a couple more times. I don't think it registered with some of the others what was happening until bullets started flying their way, they were engrossed in what they were doing.
And again, I've already gone over this in another thread. Old Testament is not what Christians follow. It's there because it was the first will of God, but the New Testament is what Christianity follows, according to Christians. (I'm not a Christian but had to play one when I was a child and forced to go to church every Sunday.)
I am a Christian. The fact you are repeating bs does not remove the fact it is BS. Christianity has two testaments.

During the Vietnam war news stations showed American dead on the nightly news. In the '70s or early '80s an American (think he was American) reporter walked up to a checkpoint on a border with Nicaragua, one of the soldiers made him lay down face down and proceeded to shoot him in the back of the head. It aired on NBC Nightly News, I believe for two nights in a row. It was either repeated during the same evening newscast or shown two different nights. Imagine seeing that as a kid as I did while watching the 6:30 PM news.
Good points, I could also add to the list the shooting of journalist Alison Parker live by a former tv employee in 2015. There was a C-D thread about it. Alison Parker Formerly of WCTI12 Dies in Shooting
Or back in time, the beating of Reginald Denny during the LA riots of 1992.
So, if I send a link of 911 to a buddy I'm now a muslim terrorist?
Don’t be so dramatic
