The Reader is making available the security camera footage of the Pleasance shooting, with narration by John Conroy.

The shot to the head occurs around 5:45 and it's graphic *nsfw

This highly borders on snuff, *blogging to ST for more opinions

Other invocations (nsfw) cannot be executed when called with blog - ignoring calls. (called by thesnipe)

whoops, *blog

Sending this video to Sift Talk for discussion (sent by Gold Star member thesnipe)

Thanks for the heads-up snipe. I hate accidentally seeing brutal, grotesque stuff. At times, I don't mind it, but only when I'm "in the mood" for it, if ever.

I think "snuff-ish" type stuff, and animal cruelty, should be label-able separately / additionally from NSFW stuff, as they're generally only something you've got to be in the right frame of mind to 'want' to see.

Personally, I don't mind most of the stuff people flag as NSFW (I actually like most of it), but I do hate accidentally seeing baby seals clubbed, peoples' limbs broken, etc. There's a difference between NSFW and just plain fucking gross.

Perhaps there might be a reason for a self-imposed "cruel / absolutely disgusting / despicable" tag?

I honestly didn't see it. I missed it the first time watching, and I don't think this is graphic. I thought he got pushed over or punched in the face. It certainly isn't sensational.

*long

*nsfw in the "watch it with your three year old" rule of thumb.

Yeah, that's how I view NSFW: you don't want to be cranking it, on a widescreen TV, with 3 year-olds, or church-mums, around. But there is another level in my mind: something that could cripple a grown man for weeks because of how fucked up it is (e.g. the old ogrish.com type stuff).

No?

I can't even view the video. Must be an error on my puter.

Doh! Yeah, you just reminded me: I'm probably totally out of line ranting like I am on a blogged post. I mistakenly went off ranting thinking this was a general discussion. Feel free to ignore everything I've said, because I haven't yet seen the video.

<Edit: no sarcasm intended - I forgot this was a *blogged video, not a general discussion>

I reminded you? Of what? All I said is that I can't view the video...

[Edit] - Now I can.

You reminded me that I hadn't seen the video; and my comments sounded like they were about this specific video, which they weren't.

Oh, right, I did that one purpose. You're welcome.

this is snuf because someone is murdered on video. question is: does it matter that you can't really see it?

can't really see it? at -5:39 you definitely watch a murder take place. This is definitely an issue that needs to be made public, but not here, not like this. This is a clear violation of sift charter. *discard

Discarding this post (discard called by gold star member djsunkid)

Undiscarded and *returned. This is not a violation of Sift charter. (More here.)

Returning this video from Sift Talk (Returned by gold star member lucky760)

doesn't the title have anything to do with it?

I also watch pretty much anything, the point is i have to be in the mood. I don't want to click "kitten eating food" and see "kitten blown away with a shotgun".

Really? I do.

poor kitty
