I recently was led to this video in the depths of the internet, which I will NOT link, called "three guys one hammer". It is a brutal home- shot video of three teens from an Eastern European country brutally beating a man to death with a hammer, and stabbing him repeatedly with a screwdriver in the stomach and face.
After watching this horrifying video, I am truly... scared. My head hurts, trying to figure out how someone can do that to another human being, and I almost vomited. This leads me to a very hard point. We need to stop videos like this from being on the internet. I discovered it by accident. I don't want to know the sick F#$% that's going to intentionally find this video to watch it, and they shouldn't.
The whole story is three teens, all the age of 19, that go on a thrill- killing rampage that lasted one month, and 21 victims. Including a pregnant woman, men, and children. The pregnant woman was eviscerated and the dead fetus sent to her father's doorstep.
Fortunately, those PSYCHOS were caught and sentenced for murder. The explanation bringing me to this: We should not allow videos like this to continue circling the internet. There needs to be some form of censorship that takes stuff like that down. I've seen other similar videos of war crimes, and those have affected me just as much. These videos need to be erased from the internet. NOW

At first I thought it was going along with those nasty videos with the same titles, but this one isn't nasty at all its just brutal.

I'm not gonna watch it, though. Looks creepy. I heard about it, though. The idiots are in jail. Hopefully Ukrainian jails have bad conditions.

Sadly, this is impossible. I know the saying 'Once something is on the net its there forever' can, in some instances be false. -- But once something goes viral, it is there forever. Either in someone else's computer or just on a random website. There's too much stuff involved in trying to find a video and kill it. I just hope no people accidentally stumble across it. The title makes it sound kinda interesting.

Would these three psycho-killers have been caught this soon had their video not gone viral?

That's the one argument I can produce against why videos like this should not be on the internet.

It's wrong, it's graphic, and compared to other people, your experience might be a bit too extreme, but if someone wants to put something on the internet, let them. If it's a crime they committed, they just confessed.

Exactly what I thought. Putting up brutal videos on the Internet has less downsides then not putting it.

Why? Having it up here makes it real easy for law enforcement to get evidence against these people.

Video was released after they were arrested.

When you censor one thing, anything, you open up a can of worms you will never be able to close. Once it's censored, they can censor anything based upon your same thought-process.

So, I have a brilliant idea for you: Let people who like to watch those videos, watch them, and you just ignore them. There are thousands, but I'm fairly certain you need to directly search sites that provide such entertainment to go there, and thus, you are the only one at fault for what you see.

when I read the title, I honestly expected them to be doing something else with the hammer.

There's no reason you should, unless you like watching videos of people dying. No one actually dies in the video, but the guy does die later off-camera.

He gets brutally smashed doesn't he? I hear he is covered in block, stabbed in the face and stomach with a screwdriver.
Those teenagers must have been sadistic!

To put it mildly.

Yeah, that to.

They were laughing, too. Their laugh was kinda infectious, I'm not going to lie.

At any rate, typically serial killers don't particularly mind smashing people's skulls in and mauling their insides.

It's why we kill them here in the states.

The problem with censorship is that it covers up the horrible truths. One of the main reason Vietnam was vastly unpopular is that it was televised every night. People would be eating dinner, look at their TV and see the bodies of those with missing limbs, bloody skulls, and faces mutilated beyond recognition on the news. It was a huge shock-factor.

I'm against most forms of censorship. I mean, it sounds good as an idea, removing and/or 'ainting over' the offensive things. The problem is, in practice, 'offensive things' is a very exploitable term and normal porn or certain books or something soon gets lumped in with ultra-violent videos and stuff.

This.
Three guys one hammer, I've never seen it but I've heard of it and quite frankly it doesn't bother me that it's on the internet - instead of preventing vile things like this being on the internet we should prevent it happening anyway.

The internet is a free place, censorship is only the rule one can put on his own domain - the same way you have unique rules to your house.

This is the reason why it's so difficult to censor certain things; for every video out there, there will always be someone who finds it offensive. If we censored everything that was "offensive" to somebody, we'd have no videos left on the internet.
