I really did start to wonder about the company I was keeping at that point
I would have been about 18, and a large number of the people in my uni hall were talking about it. Then somebody piped up with
"Yeah, it was horrific."
"...you mean you actually watched it?"
At which point several others ventured that they, too had seen it, along with
"I can send you the link if you want?"
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? IT'S BAD ENOUGH KNOWING THE POOR BASTARD WAS DECAPITATED ON VIDEO, I DON'T NEED TO FUCKING SEE IT!
Seriously, the relatives of a car crash victim don't sit around saying "ooh gosh, I wish I could have seen his final moments as he collided with the central reservation," so what reason was there to watch that apart from sheer perverted voyeurism?

yeah that's what I didn't get, why everyone wanted to see it
I understand curiosity and stuff, but I knew it would be the kind of thing that would stay with me for ages. Plus I heard it wasn't a clean decapitation so I probably would have vommed

Is he still your mate?

he is
it was a relatively small transgression.

I will no longer watch unpleasant stuff on the internet though. I've seen enough.
