I don't want to watch it, but I'm glad it's available, because to see people die is to not forget they died. They say the censorship is out of respect for the dead, or to deprive the killer of a platform, but in truth, hiding the video just makes it easier for people to pretend that it never happened.

As soon as I heard that the video was getting banned and removed I immediately looked to find and download it

Yes, making it forbidden only enhances its rhetorical appeal. They say they do it out of respect for the victims, and to deprive the killer of attention, but it ends up having the opposite effect; it disrespects the dead by obscuring up the reality of how they died, and it gives the killer's video a much more profound status than it would have had otherwise.

You should watch it if you get a chance, great fun!
