That dude can paunch.

I considered everything you said there and still found this video lacking of being Sift-worthy, which is why I downvoted. Everything you mentioned is worthy of discussion... in the Sift Talk section with a link to the video.

Like I said, IMO videos of graphic killings aren't what we should be promoting on the Sift since this is supposed to be a friendly contest to find the best videos on the net. There are plenty of other sites to look at for sensationalist videos.

Exactly. When I wrote, "I'm sure this won't be controversial," I meant I thought people would debate whether the shooter did the right thing in taking him out, or whether she endangered the victom too much. There's tons of content here. This isn't a video of a murder or a suicide. Take the death out and this is still a worthy video.>> ^Confucius:

Oh wow. Open your mind please. Can't believe nobody has mentioned anything about the goldmine that the rest of this video is. I mean...drugged coke bottles...SHE SHOT HIM FOUR TIMES (he went down after the first!)....reckless tactics which are somehow ok....stressing the crap out of the hostage-taker....and more importantly the fact that this 'snuff' film made it onto Chinese news with descriptors like Hero...epic...awesome. Can you imagine this in the US or UK?
You cant let your mind shut down because of the possibility that its a snuff film when there is so much value in this video.
reinforced note to self: Don't ef with the police in China.

You might do at least minimal research before calling someone wrong:

"A vatrain is a maglev train run through an evacuated tunnel." -- The Whole Internet>> ^MycroftHomlz:

You're Wrong Charlie, you get no lifetime supply of chocolate. They actually only said in the video magnets make it go up. They did not say it was a maglev train. These are entirely different animals. It is called evacuated tube because of a vacuum. Thanks for the physics lesson though.

as said in the video, the cars don't move by sucking it through a straw, but by magnetic levitation....

best ach in my opinion.



ach=achievement

Promote YOUR awesomeness.

And thanks for your reply to shinyblurry.

I rely on more calm souls than me to engage with folks like him. I get too passionate and hence disrespectful.

Sorry I didn't help you make gold -- my heart was willing, but my attention span under trying circumstances at work was interfering.

Thanks again.

It is a great vid, isn't it? How anyone can watch it and not be moved to change their minds is beyond me. I think this vid may be a turning point in the debate.

But then, I am an eternal optimist.
