...really?????
It was all over the news. We have the BBC on one screen at work constantly. I saw the footage a few times the day after it happened completely inadvertendly. Not to mention it being all over social media and pretty much unavoidable.
"Just don't watch it" is an idiotic response.
- vokep 8y agoIt's a response to the BBC or anyone else rebroadcasting it too. I still haven't seen it, maybe a screenshot, big deal, its pixels on a screen. Seeing pixels on a screen should not cause great distress other than the real distress that exists. If someone finds the knowledge that some racists did a racist thing (that didn't actually harm anyone) extremely distressful, that person should take extra care to avoid such information then, they are abnormally sensitive. That is fine and understandable for an individual. For everyone else, get over it.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI didn't see it until this comment thread. The BBC/your Facebook friends are the problem there, if it's offensive why would you play it or popularise it. Presumably you'd like BBC management and your social media contacts to also be imprisoned? Isn't it inconsistent not to. If just seeing this is an offense worthy of imprisonment then those on social media, and the BBC cause far more offense.
