6 young men shot with firing squad

[jon_b]

6 Young men are lined up and shot. This was released last autumn, among claims by the local officials that it was fake - other independent reviewers said it appeared genuine.

You may have seen it B4 - this is the unedited version with no large watermarks ( it has been clipped by me to shorten it.) Some versions freeze the shooting scene - this video is intact. Watch it to the end as the young men on the ground continue to be shot to stop their moaning.

Is it genuine - or was it faked? watch for yourself and decide.

Its genuine alright , how appaling that with all those guns and so called soldiers it took so much ammo to do the job properly ...A shocking video , nothing erotic about this at all......

I agree entirely with all your comments m8 - brutal and sad for the young men involved - and I do think it is real (but that's an opinion, and I have been wrong B4).

I think video clips - like those found in this section, give a 'reality-check' to the things that go on in conflict. Also sad - I think- that in 'civilized' countries - we sanitize war/conflict by censorship or wrap it in emotive patriotic slogans. Killing during conflict is always brutal, however it gets wrapped up - these vids give us a 'heads-up' as to some of the things that actually go on. Humanity at its worst - I am sure others here might comment, to agree or disagree.

I agree with Jon's and Omegaman's comments. So there seems to be a strange discrepancy between fantasy and reality: I find (fake) killing scenes erotically stimulating, but I couldn't bear to witness them when they were real. Somehow knowing a movie is just actors playing parts removes a loathing and disgust I'd feel otherwise. Is that hypocritical? It doesn't feel that way, but I also don't fully understand it.
