    I was shocked by that as well. What an illustration into how rotten the world has become. A mainstream news site just casually posting here guys watch the cool way this dude dies live on camera.

    Unnecessary, disrespectful, voyeuristic. Like death porn for the masses

      That air force guy who died in Texas is getting the same treatment.

      They really sang the national anthem, killed a troop on the field, and then played football on the turf still soaked in his blood.

      Social media is covered with videos from every angle of his body crumpling into the ground. You could probably stitch them all together into a grotesque 360-degree bullet-time of his death.

      Imagine serving in the Air Force for 15 years and then losing your life at the Alamodome, in service to the social media hype cycle.
