I have no problem with it, if you want to play it for me I'll watch it - although given the choice I'd prefer not to. Only because the poor victim doesn't deserve to be seen by an audience being humiliated/tortured/beaten to death. But what do you expect? These kids tortured and murdered animals, and then tortured and murdered humans. It's a common trait in serial killers. Many serial killers have a history of torturing animals to death. The warning signs were there but they were ignored.

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

You should ask the cat about curiosity.

Curiosity.
Really?
My curiosity goes about as far as "oh, I have never tried this tea before... I'm very curious as to whether it is any good". Although, this has led to the enormous collection of tea in my cupboard.

Yeah. (I don't drink tea, but I could use a similar analogy)
When people say "you don't want to know", or otherwise make something look bad, a lot of people tend to become even more curious. But in this case...I really don't want to know.

So...you wouldn't want to see it.

Well, you could, if not for one small problem...

Yes; I don't speak cat.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I just saw a real video of two men being executed by beheading with a chainsaw and knife. I think I'll look at pictures of kittens now. Forever.

I once saw one of a man being shot in the head, repeatedly as he kept struggling to move. I didn't sleep for the longest time and probably won't now at the memory.
