seeker1950 - I understand your frustration because I've been feeling strong emotions about this too. There another Luka Magnotta thread in Currents Events. This thread is more about the website that posted this video. Its still a current events but guess they thought to move it here....idk for sure.

I can't speak for those who don't want any censorship but the owner of the site is posting what's happening in the world. I suspect the family or the police will request him to take this one down. I'm grappling with knowing this crime was committed in its horrific fashion and with those who don't watch with any empathy. I read what happened and even that was horrific.

As far as young people - yes I worry too and parents should have a filter on their computer. It will be interesting and concerning, seeing how some young people mentally manage watching porn or even gore sites like this - basically growing up think porn represents what real sex is like. If you read what the owner wrote, he puts up a good argument - that he assisted in notifying the police and if the killer didn't tape it....maybe they never would have known who did it. Honestly I can see both sides - if terrible stuff is happening I do want to know about it, but I'd rather read it and not see it. I stumbled onto a suicide video and it really upset me terribly, since my brother ended his life. I really don't get those that like to watch this and complain if its not gory enough.
