We watched those.. watcha call em.. "Faces of Death" is what I always remember but when i look it up it isn't right. Anyway, we got them from the (vhs) movie rental stores locally when we were kids. Edit note: This was also when America took a real honest pride in saying Fuck You to the rest of the world and proudly displayed items that were banned in other countries.
People chopping the hands and feet off militia men with a machette then wrapping the stumps in plastic grocery bags. With footage of the person after crying and moaning with their stumps.
Lived with those images practically my whole life now, don't get off on that shit.

Yeah similar to those scenarios there were these 2 early 20’s girls who went backpacking in Morocco, and previous to this they had been posting on social media how everyone was inherently good and the world is full of good people and just flowery stuff like that
They were beheaded by wanna-be ISIS fighters and that was captured on video. I refuse to watch the video but in the news and in the comments to the story people were calling these girls tragically “naive”
I personally don’t understand how these girl’s generation can grow up so naive with such easy access to the internet. When I was a kid the internet had just come out, and I would go to my grandparents’ house to go on it. It didn’t have filters back then and it wasn’t long until like 10yr old me had stumbled onto sites like Rotten.com and Ogrish.com which had videos of people being set on fire while alive, beheaded, or cut to pieces with machetes
The internet sort of traumatized me as a little kid and that’s when the pedestal of innocence was kicked out from under me. That’s when I realized the world was full of fucked up and dangerous people and going into the wrong part of it meant possible torture and a horrible death
I think anyone who grows up as naive as those girls were must have had parents who sheltered them from the dark corners of the internet. And that’s great to do with your kids, but you need to explain the danger some other way then…
