I tried fixing the horrible camera work of the guy filming, he switched all the time back and forth from vertical to horizontal filming and vice versa.
Anyways pretty brutal video, It seemed to me that the guy was maybe on heavy drugs the way he dropped the brick on the dead guy...

On November 19, 2008, 19-year-old Abraham K. Biggs committed suicide while broadcasting to a room full of viewers on his Justin.tv channel by ingesting an overdose of opiates and benzodiazepines. He was also struggling with bipolar disorder. Biggs posted his suicide note online, as noted in The New York Times.
The man's father, Abraham Biggs, Sr., says those who watched share some blame in his son's death.
Justin.tv CEO Michael Seibel stated,
We regret that this has occurred and respect the privacy of the broadcaster and his family during this time. We have policies in place to discourage the distribution of distressing content and our community monitors the site accordingly. This content was flagged by our community, reviewed and removed according to our terms of service.

A Pembroke Pines, Florida teenager killed himself Wednesday, November 19, while broadcasting on the live video site Justin.tv. After making suicide threats and being encouraged by Justin.tv viewers and Bodybuilding.com forum members, Abraham K. Biggs, 19, committed suicide by taking an overdose of opiates and benzodiazepine, which had been prescribed for his bipolar disorder.
Biggs first began blogging about his planned suicide 12 hours before the actual event. He died after taking pills and lying on the bed in front of the webcam. After the broadcast, viewers who apparently thought it was a hoax posted messages such as "OMG", "LOL", and "hahahah".
Hours later, after being alerted by viewers who had noticed that Biggs had stopped breathing, law enforcement and paramedics arrived, discovered his body, and covered the camera. The Broward County Medical Examiner's Office has reportedly confirmed Biggs' death.
According to Montana Miller of the Bowling Green State University, the circumstances of this case were not shocking: "If it's not recorded or documented, then it doesn't even seem worthwhile. For today's generation it might seem, 'What's the point of doing it if everyone isn't going to see it?'"
Biggs' sister Rosalind was angry that neither the website nor its viewers reacted soon enough to save him. "They got hits, they got viewers, nothing happened for hours," she said. She described him as "very happy" and "friendly and outgoing." "On a normal day, you couldn't really tell that he got as low as he did." However, he did have relationship problems with his girlfriend, according to a friend.
Mental health professionals have warned about the possibility that other mentally troubled people would copy his actions. According to Dr. David Shaffer of Columbia University, "Any video showing it as heroic or romantic or glamorous could reduce the anxiety people might feel about suicide. It becomes a respectable behavior and lowers the threshold of suicide." He and other psychiatrists recommend that potentially suicidal teens talk to others and "tell what's going on."

we've all seen the worst on here but a guy getting gutted or mass death or you name it doesn't bother me like at all. I'll eat food and skim through this like its youtube. child death doesn't even bother as much as it used too. Which is weird because that's what I hate the most.
is that a problematic? even when I take breaks I still never get disturbed and truthfully that kinda scares me because I say things that people that they give me a second take on.
(not that im sitting talking about gore but for example my understanding of Syrian Civil War so I'll discuss it without considering what im saying or how graphic it might be but usually I don't do that all or even talk.)
The last time I was disturbed by gore was well..... shit I don't even remember. First time seeing chechclear or whatever as far I can remember but that's years ago.
What do you guys think? Is this a normal to think or do or am I making myself way too desensitized to death and violence? Is it weird to not be bothered by death and how graphic it is considering some of the videos on the site? Am I just a soy boy or am I just overthinking it?
Gore doesn't scare me but I will never be more disturbed than watching these little Middle Eastern girls praise Shahab or whatever it's called. Aka suicide bombing and the concept of paradise for this act for the non informed. First post BTW so forgive any mistakes I make.
