What a shame...
September 29, 2009 | ZIP/Postal code 70769 | Vetting explained
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?!

The best iReports get vetted and used on CNN platforms.
The label “Not vetted by CNN” lets you know that this story hasn’t been both checked and cleared by a CNN editor.
iReport stories that have a red "CNN iReport" stamp in the corner have been vetted and
cleared. That means they've been selected and approved by a CNN producer to use on CNN,
on air, or on any of CNN's platforms.
