Fox News just aired a live suicide following a car chase.
They showed it live.

Shep Smith apologizing to viewers. That's not enough. I'm very disturbed by seeing that and disgusted they'd not put it on delay. Sickening.

The ONLY reason I brought this over is because of this:

19. Get it right - yahoos

The feed WAS ON DELAY, 5 second delay, but it failed to work as it should have. Technical failures to happen, Stop being a stupid bunch of liberals and making something out of a situation that it isn't.

Seems you ALL failed to mention that this guy was a p hu ck ing criminal who had just carjacked an innocent person at GUNPOINT and then FIRED THAT WEAPON AT COPS AS WELL to try and kill them.

So get it right and stop being a bunch of p ri cks who live to make up stuff and spread disinformation and leave out ALL of the facts.

If Krager was trying to be ironic, that's kinda sick. (referring to what we usually call unterprimitiven who usually do this) He made some good points though. Points that will fly over their heads, no doubt.

EDIT: Message already hidden via jury decision. They're nothing if not efficient.

Is the kranger primitive still there?

I'm afraid to check myself.

RedStateLiberal,

If what you saw disturbed you, if what you saw disgusted you, grow the **** up. Open your ****ing eyes to the world around you.

You're a weak minded individual you ****ing bag of bones.

Have a lovely day.

Not sure, but I think this is him since the first was hidden. He won't stay long, but he's sure stirring shit up.

On another note, the video they are hopping mad at was in fact POSTED by DUmmie Amak8. Another unterprimitiven that only has 90 posts.

[Karin]

Thanks for capturing those! 

And they're both right.  This was a ****ing criminal bent on killing.  I don't give a damn if he offed himself.  And the second poster is right too.  This is a tough world.  Not everything is sweetness and light.  You have to learn to live with that.  Don't like it DUmmies?  Off yourself as well.  I'm sick of you and people like you.

[franksolich]

Don't like it DUmmies?  Off yourself as well.  I'm sick of you and people like you.

I refer you, madam, to the poll "stickied" to the top of the DUmpster.

Uh, what are you doing watching Fox News, DUmmie?

[md11hydmec]

Agree whole heartedly.  was watching when it happened.  They need togrow up and realize how gritty the world is.

[jukin]

I don't know about anybody else, but I love a story with a happy ending.

56. I just watched the post of this suicide that was locked by a jury

And your reaction, and that of many folks here, is cultural.

Two points.

1.- IN the US we have far more graphic things on the teevee machine that are scripted. I guess knowing the actor will stand up and go home makes it ok.

2.- This is actual standard fare in countries (yes in the evening news) that have less access to guns. Usually they are preceded by a warning... but that is all.

I have asked to myself many a times if we really like to live in a fantasy world, where things like this are hidden from people by both media and willful ignorance.

Yes, it is a disturbing piece of tape... it should be... but read point number one... so should our graphic portrayal of violence that passes for family entertainment.

Shep Smith violated an unwritten code of not showing this crap to viewers, that is all.

Uh, what are you doing watching Fox News, DUmmie?

Trying to find something to complain about, naturally.

[Revolution]

I was honestly surprised the suicide was so clean. Maybe it was a low calibar weapon, or something. Compared to Saw, this shit was tame to me. I would have honestly thought a gunshot to the head would have been WAY more graphic from what I've heard.

47. then why were you watching, for pete's sake?

Why would you watch a live pursuit in real time if you fear being offended by tragic outcomes? Don't you think YOU have any responsibility for your choices, or is it entirely up to news agencies to sanitize reality for you?

Mike_C primitive brings up a good point. As do other primitives. I think this campfire is very split, and could possibly burn long into the night.

51. You're right. It's really irresponsible to show it.

they know better. But I wouldn't put it past them to pretend to not notice and let it pass. They're losing ratings while Rachel Maddow gains them. She's beating them now. 

  In what universe??

57. Two points

1.- I tend to tweet them when they happen so people can AVOID THEM.

2.- They are really easy stories.

And on a slow news day, news copters justify their existence. 

 

Here's an idea. Go slather soap all over your body so you can avoid getting a bath.

I agree, but you will notice that even when she posts something that is somewhat reasonable it still has a tinge of condescension to it.

I just noticed that she has 109,270 posts. She must be trying for DUmmie of the Decade instead of just DOTY.

I saw a show earlier this afternoon on History about guns and ammunition. They showed portions of the North Ridge shootouts including the suicide and the other shoot down and bleed out. There were also graphic victim pics.

No outrage, no sick to my stomach, no wetting of any linen. As a matter of fact if it wasn't for this DUmmie thread I most likely would never had given it another thought. Funny that.

[miskie]

Sometimes crap happens on live TV.

People saw 'jumpers' on 9/11.
People saw a space shuttle explode on takeoff.
People saw Robert Budd Dwyer blow his brains out on live television.
People saw JFK shot dead.

etc etc etc.

122. Sorry, but working for free at the online version of The Pennysaver

hardly qualifies as journalism.

Especially when stories are erroneously based on a Facebook posting...

Really we do need an award for zappaman. Some type of "Magnificent Bastard" for his consistent and constant slaying of the bald dwarf.

Well, the DUmbshit got one tiny point right, anyway.  Better than average for DU.

[GOBUCKS]

That's the first car chase I've seen that was worth televising. It was great seeing that savage hoodrat Obamaite pop himself in the noggin. I thought the Fox gayboy Shep was gonna cry!

And the jug-eared muslim lost a vote, so it's a win-win kind of deal.

Now, if only the DUmpmonkeys would kick off a copycat fad.

I think this guy posts over at AOSHQ.

So they can get the closest to the real deal and then whine about it.

The first I heard about this story was due to the fact it was plasterd all over MSN.com's home page. What a shocker.

This is a video of a guy committing suicide in an interrogation room while in custody.  It's graphic, but there isn't much gore in this one either.

The DUmmies use to want dead bodies to be shown on TV when President Bush was in office, as long as the bodies were American soldiers.
