I am VERY proud to be able to say that I have not seen the videos. Nor do I intend to.
The media rushed to get the videos on the air. Why? For ratings.
Why would this help their ratings?
Because our sick world wants to see this kind of stuff.
I have talked to many people who saw the videos and some of them were saying "I can't believe they put that stuff on the air".
But they still watched it.
What did we learn from the videos? Nothing we didn't already know.
Some have said that viewing the videos could give us clues to help identify future killers. I don't buy that. Apparently, his videos contained over the edge rantings. Those actions only came out when he was ready to commit his attrocities.
Besides, he exhibited so much wacko behavior over the years that people knew about him well in advance.
I could see studying surveillance videos if they existed. I know it sounds morbid, but I think we could learn from observing the actions (or lack thereof) of the victims. Maybe insight could be gained into the best tactics for surviving future attacks. . . and believe me, they will come.
