Video footage of real killings - have you watched some?

No, it doesn't apply.

It is regarding the treatment of captives so it does apply in most of these cases

You seem intent on ignoring the laws regarding the ethical treatment of combatants and the human rights of people

as I said if we want to be better we should enforce the laws we create to make us better than them and this means the sickos who distribute and watch this

But as I said it would be enforceable (it's a simple case of breaching the Geneva convention or Human Rights legislation) and a few cases in the press of people lives being ruined because they are exposed as sickos would be a positive and may make the majority of people think perhaps I shouldn't watch this filth.

Really? I always thought that was more of a myth. Even so you could hardly compare stuff like the JFK assassination to that.


It's weird how its filmed on that nice tracking shot though.

You also ignore the fact that most of the people being arrested and thrown in prison for this wouldn't be "sickos", they'd be people who clicked a link on Reddit or Facebook or wherever (because this stuff would be legal everywhere else) and saw something they didn't want to see.

But putting people in prison for doing nothing wrong will obviously stop people doing bad things right????????????????

If the links weren't there (and they shouldn't be) then this would not be an issue

Simple steps like this would help I mean it's not like you find child porn so easily.

But the links will be there because it would be legal in every other country......................................................................... Not everyone that uses the internet is from the UK.

As I said they shouldn't be and civilized countries can take some very easy steps to stop this from happening given it is a Human Rights Issue (or Geneva Convention dependent on context)

But I must say your defense of murderous brutality does you proud /sarc

yeah i have, loads. I've always been fascinated by them

But they will be, because civilized countries aren't going to throw people in prison for such a trivial, ridiculous thing.

You're definitely trolling.

Sicko!!! You should go to prison forever!!!

Read my posts I have already answered this.

"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment"

And a picture of someone dead falls under this catergory how? Technically it isn't even degrading. The definition of degrading an individual is "causing a loss of self-respect" how would lose my own self respect if I'm already dead? Besides, the whole debate is stupid and you're just detailing the thread. No one could ever enforce this. And millions have watched documentaries about assasination. Throwing them in jail would be ridiculous. People ae telling you otherwise yet you continue to be deluded.

No idea how any sane person can compare looking at deceased people to child pornography. I've read many stupid posts on this site but this is a new low

Degrading

degradingdɪˈɡreɪdɪŋ/adjectiveadjective: degradingIt's not looking at 'deceased' people its watching people getting murdered

And how exactly does any of that make video of someone's death though degrading?

I agree with you. I think it should be a criminal offence to distribute them, and also to possess them knowingly, just as it is with child pornography. They are what used to be called "snuff movies". Several years ago, before Youtube, there was some public discussion as to whether such films existed or whether their existence was imaginary. It was possible to have that discussion because most people hadn't seen one and the criminals involved in making them weren't going to admit it. Now they are mainstream. It doesn't stop being a snuff movie just because the newspapers tell you about it and you can get it sent to you along an internet connection provided by Vodafone or the Post Office without either you or them being raided by the police. What really scares me is there's so little debate about whether that's a good situation. I mean is anyone going to post to this thread, even, to say that it's good, or that it's the "price of freedom"? It's horrendous, is what it is.

Really! I stopped after that

as I said it's my opinion and name calling etc will do little to change my mind
