I haven't seen the one of Charlie Kirk getting shot, and I obviously don't want to, but I'm guessing that it was filmed closer up.

It would never have been shown on broadcast TV.

I'll probably be pilloried, but I don't think anyone needs these images burned into their head.

Years from now? IDK. But now, when passions are high, I do not seen any legitimate public purpose served by ensuring free availability.

And it was explained how this would affect them more than older adults. When I was in elementary school, I saw Lee Harvey Oswald shot live on TV and that's something I will never forget.

Like Eisenhower made the German people walk through the concentration camps right after WWII.

If we keep protecting Americas from their own polices and hatred they can remain in total denial.

Time for a reality sandwich big time.

Horror films are more graphic than what I witnessed. We as a society try to sanitize things. Violence is ugly, no matter where it comes from. Gun violence is even worse. Until people really see what it does, we have no hope of stopping it..
