iReport —

I accidentally clicked on the "amateur video" of a murder this morning.

 

The murder of a promising young man, LIVE ON CAMERA!

 

My first thought: Where's the stop button, I'm going to be sick.

 

My second thought: Oh, that poor child.

 

My third thought:.

What kind of person stands there and steadily FILMS a murder?

 

"Journalistic objectivity" only applies to JOURNALISTS, not people who happen to have phones with cameras watching the commission of a murder, people....

 

Yeah, it helped catch the bad guys. Small comfort to Derrion Albert, his family, his friends.

 

Would you get involved, perhaps using the phone to CALL FOR HELP?!
