    What value is there in watching the massacre? The terrorist wanted people to watch it, share it, meme it, discuss it, and give him attention. Why give him the satisfaction of giving him what he wants.

    morbid curiosity i guess. same reason people watch war footage with soldiers & civilians being set on fire or blown up or just executed. it's not about giving satisfaction to the perpetrator, is to scratch an itch that some ppl have. giving attention to the perpetrator is just a side effect.

    If your family or community was gunned down on video, would you want people to watch it?

    i'd have bigger issues than giving a shit what people do online. and it's not like my wishes control what people do on the internet. if people would want to see a morbid video involving someone close to me, they would find a way, and me spending energy on stopping that would be energy wasted.

    after how much time since the incident happened should the video be available then? it's an atrocity but censoring the video or manifesto will not solve anything, it will just make people want to see it more because it's "not allowed".
