Temptation

This is a post that contains no humour, or even an attempt at humour.

This post is an instinctive reaction to the THOUGHT of watching a particular video on line.

Here are my thoughts:


There is a video on the internet.

This may not come as a shock to many of you but I am talking one video in particular.

Let me explain a bit more.

There is a video on the internet and I have not watched it.

I want to watch it... but I don't think I should.

There are no naughty ladies with their vests off or anything like , but this is one of those videos that if you watch it you can never ever un-watch it.

It is one of those videos that shows humanity at it's worst. The very bottom of the ladder of fairness and correctness. it ( i assume) shows the very real difference between right and wrong.

I saw it on a news website I sometimes visit when I have read everything else on the web that day.

The video contains so called evidence of a crime being committed by a police officer but the alleged criminal is not facing any charges and the victim is now deceased. 

I am not sure that I actually want to be witness that this level or wrongness.

If you are so inclined that the temptation is too much for you to bare, I will share it with you at the bottom of this post.

Maybe I am kidding myself that if I don't see it then it never happened and I can forget that there are people out there that are just pure evil.

Maybe I am just a spineless wimp and should cowboy up and let my eyeballs do the judging.

Maybe - Just maybe.... 

I've videos of athletes breaking legs and eyes popping out. I'm not squeamish, or a prude. But there is something about criminal acts, well, murder, that doesn't sit well.

I'm quite the happy hypocrite when watching James Bond throw a terrorist off a building or when Jack Bauer punches the living saints out of somebodies face, but to see a real life event take place in front of me forces me to realise that I am a coward and that I would be worse that useless in a real emergency.

Once this is posted I am going to turn the internet off and sit very quietly in a dark room hoping that world ends with a wimper.

We are all humans together and for all the idiots and morons and fruitcakes, it is quite incredible that there are people out there who ALLOW those who do harm to get away with it.

Much like those nurses who did nothing to stop Jimmy Saville on his regular "visits".

I really do hate the human race sometimes.

Here is the link to the Story. Please note that I have not seen the attached video and viewer discretion is advised (you sick bastards):
