      Tired of all this censoring of videos everywhere. If you can’t see a woman’s brains splattered over her car it’s a little easier to forgive the ICE nazi who shot her, right?

        Some get nauseated at the sight of blood, let alone brain matter. Obscuring the visual of a murdered person isn’t a ploy to benefit the murderer. No one is watching this footage for the express purpose of seeing a dead body.

          I get your point, but people should feel sickened and nauseated by this. They need to see and know it’s real. The consequences of fascism need to be driven home viscerally, into their very cores. They need to see the real, uncensored world they created and are living in. Censorship of atrocity is a criminal injustice that feeds fascism, authoritarianism, and its support.

          Renee Nicole Good is not Thích Quảng Đức. She didn’t choose this. She didn’t want to die, to leave her children behind, to widow her spouse, to bereave her family. She was murdered by bloodthirsty Republican fascists. It is up to us, the living, to make her unwilling sacrifice matter. Her murder should be a nauseating core memory for everyone in North America and the world, and a reminder of the horrifying consequences of allowing fascism to foment or attain power.

            I get your point, but I don’t need to see an open skull cavity to know a person was murdered.

            I saw a person aim a firearm and pull the trigger, and the person they were aiming at died as a result. It doesn’t matter where the bullet wound is when the result is the same.
