troon_villan Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Not seen that cliff dive. I'm half tempted to even though it's clear from the above comments I shouldn't. Worst thing I ever watched was the Ken Bigley beheading online. Never forgiven myself for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 You know when facebook videos start playing without you clicking on your wall? Yeah well some twunt shared a video of a Guatemalan girl being burned alive by a lynch mob, it started up and then I kind of couldn't take my eyes away. Very glad I had no sound on.

BOF Posted June 30, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2015 There was a time I'd be straight there to watch that cliff dive. Now I could do without it. Getting soft I think :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can't even remember if I watched the dive or just saw the aftermath. Needless to say it's only the aftermath that has stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've seen the cliff dive, 3 men 1 hammer, ken Bigley, stuff on Rotten.com & 4chan. I honestly can't watch any of it now. About 4 years ago, I'd have watched anything, but human suffering is just something I can't watch now or since about 25. I don't know what the cut off point was, I didn't get anything out of watching the videos either.. I guess it was just morbid curiosity, but I can still see those things in my minds eye and it makes me sad. One of the "worst" things I saw online was a black guy lying in the middle of the road (having presumably been shot in the chest) and him just spitting out (a lot of) blood for about 2 minutes, whilst 10 or so people sit on their motorbikes watching him. The video ends before you see him die or paramedics come and somehow safe his life, but the sheer panic on his face will stay with me forever..

lapal_fan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 There's also that video on youtube of that U.S Govenor who has been set-up and is facing jail time because of money laundering or something, stands up at a news conference microphone, reads a message about how he's been set-up unfairly and he loves his wife and kids, pulls a 45. cal revolver out of a brown envelope and shoots himself in the head, in front of the press at a live conference. Mental and incredibly sad as he was later found to have done nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I avoid anything disturbing on line, I never want to see death, or serious injury and managed to avoid 2 girls 1 cup. I am a sensitive flower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2015 I avoid anything disturbing on line, I never want to see death, or serious injury and managed to avoid 2 girls 1 cup. I am a sensitive flower. I try to. But when somebody posts something I pretty much always watch it after a while. Saw the video of ISIS burning that Jordanian pilot alive not so long ago. That was pretty bad. I'm a bit like Lapal. 10 years ago I'd have watched all that stuff. I think since I went through the usual "realisation of my own mortality" that most people go through, watching anything involving death disturbs me quite a lot. Still **** do it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the thing that upset me the most about that was that he didn't even get to say what he wanted to say.

useless Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I haven't seen too much bad stuff and try to avoid it. But the other week I saw Burma trending on twitter and when I i clicked on the tag some of the pictures that came up were absolutely horrific. I didn't even know twitter showed that stuff.

Turns out he did get to say most of what he wanted to say, but the last part he didn't. Depressing stuff, especially as, like Lapal said, it turns out he was most likely innocent.

Yea I read the wiki's too. William Smith was a critical witness, and has - since Budd's death - admitted to lying to the court under oath, to give incriminating evidence against Budd Dwyer. Poor, poor man. If he had "admitted" what he did, he'd have got a maximum 5 years for accepting a bribe payment, but because he said "no, I am not guilty of this crime", he faced 55 years and $300,000 in fines if found guilty of the crime he didn't even commit. So, because he stood up for himself against the court, for a crime he didn't even commit, he ended up put in a position of suspected guilt because of liars around him trying to lower their own sentences. an absolutely woeful tale and it's terrifying to think that it could (and has) happened to many other truly innocent people.
