The whole would you would you not watch


Watched this with friends which lead to this discussion , I think a lot of people would log on to have a look , it's the darker side iof human nature. Like rubber necking at car accidents etc. People who buy murderbillia , people who watched the beheading vids
I can't honestly say I wouldn't look




I was waiting for my hearse what came next was so much worse

Even if you know you are helping the murder of someone? It's not exactly watching someone being beheaded and that's it. Even if you perfectly know that the more people watch the sooner he/she dies?

My question is...do the viewers know that they are killing the victim quicker?
I just ordered this movie on Amazon because I always catch it on cable when its half over. So frustrating. Its a frightening concept..even more so in 2016.

I disagree. I think if it was known for a fact that the views added up to increasing strength of heat lamps I'd not even have the slightest desire to go to the site and watch. Would you honestly do that?

I could understand that if there was no nuance that looking would contribute to killing. But even then, would you really want to watch someone die. Even the videos you can find of people dying by accidents or in war, would you actually go and watch those sites. I think majority of people have no desire to see someone die. If someone does then they are mentally ill.
