I suspect that if a (white) American citizen beheads another (black) American citizen and tries to post the video on Facebook, it’d be taken down. Almost like American citizens are actual people, whilst racially and religiously motivated crimes amongst Syrians and Iraqis are a curious display of the behaviour of a less important species.
Maybe 30 years after the event it’s commentary, but posting videos of people who’ve died recently is just disrespectful and in bad taste, it’s mawkish link-bait to push advertising revenue. Yeah, someone died, but we can monetize their tragedy.
Can we put Zapruder on Facebook and have adverts for high-velocity rifles and telescopic sights displayed on the side?
