Very well said TheDragon. I guess I just have too much empathy and truly feel sad for the victim and his family....tears in my eyes. I would hope people would feel the same if this was my child. I wonder the same thing - are we less civilized or is it because the world is more transparent? Just don't know how people become like this. Its disappointing to read some of the cavalier comments - one was disappointed they didn't get to see the actual infliction of death and more blood when the ice pick was plunged. I could even witness a postmortem - guess it the disrespect and intentions that make me feel awful.

I understand and agree with fear of censorship, but I worry. Just so hard knowing this all exists. I've also calmed down and not the mad sheep I was before. Its very scary knowing people are like this and scary being the mother of 2 daughters. Newman / Magnotta is also a proud racist and that's not mentioned enough. When I was 18 I was extremely naive and feel wiser now that I'm older - know about weird thing like necrophilia etc. When I see /hear things like this crime or the content of this site - it shocked me and I suppose I'm mourning ....knowing the world is worse than I thought. Feel I'm on the fence, leaning to your side The Dragon. I hope Magnotta suffers for what he did.

I wanted to ask this sincere question - should videos of suicides be allowed? Its obvious this is horrible for family and friend...so if a person tapes it...puts it online......should it be allowed to stay? I accidentally stumbled upon a video while looking for suicide helplines sadly.
