It's a first-person video of someone slaughtering dozens of unarmed civilians for fun, and it was streamed live. There is no other video like this one in the world. There's plenty of gory videos out there, but this one crosses a line nothing else I have ever seen has.

There are videos of mass executions (similar to this, in that the guns are used) recorded by the perps. I mean yeah, shooting people is horrible, but it's pretty tame to what other stuff is out there, that I've seen and just couldn't finish watching. And I'm pretty desensitized by now. I've seen some Shabiha torture videos, and those are much much worse on the emotions.

  Both the government forces and terrorist forces (al-shabab, etc) of lower Somalia live-stream/broadcast/record their executions on Twitter from time to time. Though I've not seen it done on Twitch, I'd be very surprised if that hasn't been done yet. Typically this is by firing squad. https://www.google.com/search?q=twitter+kismayo+city+execution&oq=twitter+kismayo+city+execution&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64.10747j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=twitter+kismayo+city+executi... (it should be the first link, I'd rather not directly link to the images out of courtesy to others) Look, I'm not going to get into the issues around the death penalty, but the fact remains that a lot of governments and semi-governments use SV tech just as they would use any radio/TV station/newspaper that is under their jurisdiction. Death is horrible, no question. But it's not like these events are being hidden away on sketchy websites that you have to hunt for. In many parts of the world, such types of death are celebrated and proudly posted to as many 'legitimate' news sites as possible by 'official' semi/governmental agencies. It's been less than 100 years since the US has had 'strange fruit' herself. I mean, we literally sold postcards with the results on them.
