It's like the much hyped movie showing a Russian soldier's throat being cut by Chechyan rebels. I've never seen, and never want to see it - yet people are 'fascinated' by it. That was someone's son, brother or father, FFS.
I accidentally downloaded this film on Direct Connect (called very Cool film or something like that, and I was bored)
It seriously disturbed me, no matter whether he was a rapist or not. I've spent a good deal of time trying to convince myself it was a fake. It wasn't, and it really drove home to me what a cruel place this world can be, and how illusionary my own little bubble of safety is.
Same with a clip aired on Discovery where Mujahedin forces a young Russian soldier to undress and walk three meters away, before shooting him three times each. And then emptying a few rounds in his jerking body.
Those films have profoundly affected me - and not in a positive way. I am repulsed by people who think such things are cool or fascinating.
Plane crashes - there another mechanism kicks in. the same mechanism that allows (for instance) gunship pilots to consider a tank just a target - they really don't see the persons inside the tank. it's just an enemy force that must be destroyed, a tool, not more or less. Still, if someone watches this for enjoyment alone and it was a friend of mine, I'd terminate that friendship.
I do NOT need such people around me.
