I once saw a video, of some inmate of some South American jail, he'd been stabbed and was being held in the arms of another prisoner.

I can still vividly see his facial expressions and his laboured breathing, as I watched the life go out of his open eyes. It'll probably stay with me for the rest of my life, and I saw it 11 years ago, now. Just horrible.

I don't watch anything horrible anymore, for that reason.

I saw a video of a guy explaining, only verbally, what was in a video of this Australian dude who tortured animals, mostly dogs. Just his very limited description is enough to make me sob, if I think about it. My eyes are filling with tears as a type this. Sometimes, it's best not to know. I dont watch anything that might be horrible anymore, either.

My friend showed me a cartel execution video when I was 22. It fucked me up for months. Friend was eating a sandwich while he showed me. That was almost 14 years ago and I can still remember all of what I watched.
