Apparently that journalist who went missing in Saudi Arabia was vivisected and was horrifically screaming the entire time while he was being carved alive.

I have this shit rolling around in my brain and I feel like it's going to affect my sleep.

How do I not be bothered by this?

I don't know, meeting a gruesome end of their own doesn't seem to satisfy me. That doesn't really get justice for the horrors they inflicted on their victim and thus I won't be able to rest well.

Like...I need brain bleach. I need to see something else appalling but at least that I don't really care about afterwards.

Maybe I'll watch Jesus being whipped. We all know he got better, anyway.

The media intentionally shields from actually having to confront these events, via "viewer discretion" notices on images that are blurred or blacked out, or video that suddenly stops right before the critical moment anyway.

What kind of red blooded American doesn't enjoy a good firebombing. You make me sick.

You mean the Saudi Arabian journalist that went missing in Turkey?

Turkey actually found proof?

There's allegedly audio, which we're not allowed to hear for some reason.

What good would that do?
I can give you maybe twenty URLs that all state "audio exists", but none of them have the audio, and they all appear to be either mirrored or plagiarized from the same sources, down to nigh-identical paragraphs.

But in serious, I think the point is to NOT be not bothered. If you weren't bothered, it would be common place, and violence like that should never be common.

ITP: People will commit violent acts depending on whether or not people are upset about it. If people don't worry about it, then it will stop.

Maybe people should just stop being upset about rape, then it will stop happening!

Yikes. Hope that part isnt true. Youd think if they did assassinate him that they would want to keep it quiet

watch a bunch of ultra violent horror movies, like the saw franchise

they are shit movies, but they will do wonders as far as desensitizing goes.

What violence? The newsmedia is just as scripted and fake as your weekly primetime dramas. They're just looking for your money.

Outside of these walls there isn't a ton that matters to me.

Remembering that (overall) extreme violence only happens rarely.

You hear about it all the time, but then there are a lot of people.

Based upon what? It's widely known the media tweaks and rewrites their 'shows' to earn ratings. They love buzzwords like shocking, mysterious, scandal, or horrifying. It's kinda lame. The people that fall for it, well, that's the sad path the US is taking.
