    There is a certain sacred intimacy to somebody's dying moments. I am not sure I want to intrude upon it.

    There are many reasons to do watch it. Amongst others, Iranians risk everything to make and distribute these videos. Am I disrespectful by knowing but not watching?


    This was one of the longest posts I've ever written, in a stream of consciousness to dwarf Joyce, until my computer ate it. The above two sentences will have to make do.
    I wouldn't watch it if I were you.

    Disclaimer, I did, partially on accident. My extreme curiosity has made me see things on the internet that I will regret watching the rest of my life, and sometimes do very much haunt me. I have woken up from nightmares in cold sweats before from the things I've seen, and I'm not joking or being overly dramatic.

    I think not watching carries no stigma whatsoever, nor is it disrespectful in any way, shape, or form to her memory or the cause that she's come to symbolize. Forcing yourself to watch won't give you any greater insight or depth, or ability to intelligently discuss the situation.
