The video is at least half of the crime, live streamed murder. I don't know why all standards and policy is being thrown out the window over this particular video though. On Reddit you can't even link to the guy's written manifesto.

That part is especially bizarre. It's like they only want people to read what they want them to read about this event. How dare people go source their own information directly! lol

Reddit's overreaction is doing them no favors in terms of their usership, but I guess the opinion of whoever is paying the bills matters more to them now. But apparently whoever is paying the bills does not realize that they are repeating the mistakes of digg.com
