Period. Not going to do it. That's what this sick motherfucker wants. I won't give him the satisfaction. Fucking sad day. Dark day for social media and humanity.

(5,275 posts)This guy obviously had big time mental issues, yet he had I'm sure easy access to any weaponry he wanted to pull off his sickening act. I'm not surprised that Ms. Parker was his main target.
I blame the republican tools who block any kind of gun control just as much.
This carnage with guns takes place every couple of weeks now.
More guns sure isn't the answer. Making it quite hard for a public citizen to get a gun is. Any even small hint there could be any kind of issue would really curtail the bloodshed.
We need to get real about this.

(4,742 posts)I am remaining uninformed for NOT watching the video. I really exploded on the poster with lots of bad words. Really?? Uninformed. I know EXACTLY what happened to the two people who were videotaped. I don't need to see cold blooded murder play out in my face.

(37,748 posts)What specifically leads anyone to believe that viewing the video assists in better understanding?
And should we put forth such a premise that such observation is necessary, are we to conclude that a blind person is unable to understand being gunned down as much as a person with perfect vision?

(4,742 posts)Bringing attention to the video is to post it...not to say I'm not going to watch. Maybe hopefully a few people who would watch it might agree with my lil ol' opinion and decide not to watch it. But thanks for your concern.

(4,742 posts)Whats the point of you on DU? You add absolutely nothing of substance or intellect to the conversation. If you're just here to waste time at least come clean and tell everyone.

(65,616 posts)There is plenty left (the murders) over to talk about. Folks unless you like to be disturbed all day at work, don't watch the videos.
Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)But having watched them, one thing I am sure of is that the NRA leadership would want as few people as possible to see them.

(7,820 posts)I know enough of what happened without seeing it. If others choose to, that's there decision, but I have no need or desire to.
