Would YOU watch it?

wyo_rose · 05-13-2004, 12:51 PM

I saw one of the network news sites has the beheading video available to see.

Would YOU watch it? There's no way I would.

After watching the video clip of Lori P. while she was still alive and in pain in that Iraqi hospital, I felt awful - especially for her family.

Nope I wouldn't watch it, thats just gross...real life beheading. Now if it was on a Friday the 13th...I'd be right there LOL :lol2:

This is totally barbaric. No I would not watch it. I am totally disgusted with our media that uses 'the publics right to know' as an excuse to show alot of the stuff we've seen recently--all a veiled attempt for ratings. The media would have us believe the public is so naive as to think that wars are free of atrocities on either side. Atrocities have always been part of war and conflict. It is just the poor taste and misdirection of the media to portray it in all its gory detail that is new and different. Whether it is the US committing atrocities against Iraqis or Al Qaida committing them against us they are all pathetic and barbaric. Plain and simple there are no winners in War.

Ive seen it. I wouldnt suggest watching it unless your demented.

But you have to wonder about peoples greed to go into a dangerous situation like that for the pay check? American contractors do this all the time. I first heard about it when the oil fields were on fire.

I wouldn't watch it.
The thought of it makes me nauseous.

Yes, you do have to wonder. If I was married to or in a relationship with a guy that was civilian and his employer was sending him over there I'd say to my man 'make a choice'. It goes without saying that if you marry a military man or date one you better be accepting of the possibilities; but civilian is another thing altogether.

I watched it last night. I wish i didnt watch it now. Didnt even get to sleep last night. I mean ive seen movies that were worse than that, but the fact that it was real just really screwed my mind up. Also how they treated him, like he was less than an animal. Even animals deserve better treatment than he had.

**Azhe'ni** · 05-14-2004, 04:43 PM

Hel na I wouldn't watch it. I think it's terrible. When people started talking bout it to me I'm like I don't even wanna hear it. It makes me sick. And whoever's idea it was to play it on air is also f****** sick. Imagine how that family felt. The news showed the father in the front of his lawn with his head between his knees just crying. It pi**ed me off real bad.

wyo_rose · 05-14-2004, 05:57 PM

Geez, even hearing the detailed description on the hourly radio news was enough to make you sick.:(

**billyjoejimbob** · 05-14-2004, 07:49 PM

Hey TRADISH, I was in the same boat as you. I couldnt eat all day.

Ive seen many worse videos and photos of better quality but this one just freaked me out.

If it was a friend or family member of mine I would the first plane with the biggest gun I could find. Id be killing everything in sight over there.

It definitely changed my views of some things.

I have a friend whos uncle is over there now working as a civilian contractor. It is truely greed that motivates him. He has been over there for awhile now. He is set for life with what he made over there in less than a year. All tax free!!!

You felt like when I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Eeww! It messed up my head, I had to run to the restroom to throw up when the guy got his legs sawed off! I am not going to watch the video. Some teacher in SCal let his students watch it and now he's on admin leave. What teacher would do that?

I know what that feels like. I was there along with my husband. I watched every night, missiles whizzing by into the Iraqi horizons wondering where he was every night. It's scary and being out there, it's one time in my life I can truly say I was living every second of the day on a prayer. You know, it makes you not take anything for granted. Every second of the day now I shower my husband, daughter and family with love, like I won't ever see them again.
