      Soon only the dark web will have it.
      I mean, I don’t like seeing that shit,
      but I also don’t like living in make-belief land
      where the horrors of life are kept hidden
      by our “well-meaning” overlords

        Why not? It seems like an appropriate place.

          They had a whole edit war about whether it should be included and locked the article.

              Looks like they’ve decided against inclusion. It’s also unlikely the video meets “fair use” standards so they’d have to delete it anyway…

                I couldn’t find the discussion on both talk pages (for personal article and the killing article)

                  It’s been moved to the archive but is linked on top of the talk page:
