I have to admit my curiosity made me watch one of these videos quite a while ago.

My feelings?

Very mixed.

It is quite horrible to realize of what atrocities people are actually capable of. Of course we hear of such things all the time - but this usually seems very far away. Having to actually see it makes you realize how far people can fall from humanity and that these butchers hace nothing to do with some kind of noble freedom fighters - these videos are a proof that while some of them might have had some understandable motives at some point, these motives have now been devoured and fully replaced by cruel hatred.

Having seen such a video once, I have no desire of seeing such a thing ever again - it is not the "gore" that is so frightening, but the painful fear and terror of the victims that is so strong that it creeps into your own heart and soul if you have to watch it. The thought of people who loved the person who has been to brutally murdered watched this kind of video is terrifying...

I do not want so see such a thing ever again ... I wish such a thing would never happen again.
Alas, humans can turn into beasts to easily ... and this is very scary indeed (and makes me grateful that I have the privilege to live in a society were I do not have to live in the ever-present fear that something like that might happen to a beloved one or myself)
