Hell, CNN basically televised an entire war, but you can actually count on one hand the actual footage showing casualties, if any.
The whole thing was made to look like a video game and shown on primetime, using camera's on bombs and missiles, you damn well know that someone died there, but it's OK because you did not actually see anyone being blown to shreds. What's my point?, if this footage is good enough to be shown on TV, or all over the web for that matter, it might be a better idea to have it shown in a controlled environment where it can be monitored and discussed. Maybe people will realize how fragile life can be, and if nothing else, to remember the victims of this crime.
that's a very good point i didn't think of ...
