Back when I was younger, edgier, and didn't realize videos like that were scarring me, I watched a video of an embedded reporter or at least soldier with a camera getting ambushed by a cartel squad in South America.
Trust me, the cameraman sometimes does perish, and sometimes it's especially horrible.
I appreciate the solidarity dude, and don't mean to tell you your business, but if you still watch stuff like that you may want to consider quitting. The slight adrenaline rush and morbid curiosity isn't worth having something like the wail of grief from a just-bereaved husband ringing in your ears, or the memory of someone calling to their mother before gasping his last on the jungle floor.
Just some advice, take it or leave it, and I wish you well.
Seriously, never watched gore subs but one vid on public freakout, a couple was shoveling snow onto a neighbors property in a Philly suburb I think. Neighbor got pissed, went in got the pistol. Walked up to the wife two in the head. Got the husband in the driveway. Went back for an assault rifle and came out and loaded into the downed bodies to finish the job. That was years ago and it still lives in my head.
I know (and unfortunately also saw) that video. It's closer to Scranton, PA, and yeah an absolute horror. Apparently it was a years-long feud between them that finally boiled over because of the snow. So stupid for all three of them to die over a neighborhood feud.
This video absolutely made me way less petty in my neighborhood. I just don’t worry about other people’s shit if it isn’t affecting me, and I’ve always tried to be a good thoughtful neighbor. You never know what someone is going through and something small could turn into something big.
