Just how brutal us humans can be. :\

That's a link to a video depicting this:

Security contractors of the so-called "Victory" Group of the British mercenary Firm Aegis Defense Services have committed the ultimate war crime: the indiscriminate killing of civilians as part of a "game", not a video game but a real game of shooting Iraqi civilians as a form of entertainment, as revealed in a "trophy video" posted on an Aegis employees website. There are in fact several video clips, which suggests that the practice is not an isolated event.

Watch at your own risk...as its not horribly violent, yet still one of the most disturbing things I have seen in my life. To see something like this, Im almost glad that we're as isolated from some parts of the world as we are. It's a pretty harsh reality out there.

Can someone summarize what happened in the video, I'm afraid to click the link because I don't want to see anything too disturbing before my final week before finals at school.

We are capable of kindness beyond angels, yet we commit sins that put demons to shame ;x

That was some horrible music.

And yeah that's just disgusting.

[thestalkmore]

the video isn't really graphic at all, you just hear gunshots from the back of a van at other cars driving on a highway.

You people are soooooo fucking ignorant.

If you think british mercenaries shooting at cars is disturbing, then the video/documentary in the link I just posted would make you wonder if Hell has stemmed itself into the Earth in the Middle East.

And by the way, for all of you conservatives with closed-minds that will blame that documentary on propaganda and deny the credibility of what was taped because of bias, that documentary was sponsored by BBC. One of the most highly credible international news stations in the world.

And for all of you lazy bastards that won't take the time to watch the movie and be educated, one of the biggest points mentioned in there was the use of chemical weapons on militants as well as civilians by the Americans and British fighting against the Iraqis. Great fucking war, Bush. "zomg, iraq gotz teh chemicular wepons. let's zerg rush dem, lawl" Sup, hypocrisy. And I know someone's going to try and correct my attack on Bush and say that it's not his fault about what the military uses during the war, well I'm going to shut that arguement down right now by saying three words "Commander in Chief" and it was even stated in the interview that they waited for Bush to win the 2004 election before going in and massacring Falluja.

Sorry if this came off as an attack against anyone, I don't mean to offend people, but I just don't like it when people aren't educated.

Ive seen those videos and yes they were bad, as were the above mentioned. It was just the circumstance that these actions were done under (just random people on a highway) that made them as bad as they were. Something doesnt have to be graphic or violent to have equally disturbing undertones.

Well, I wasn't really using "ignorant" as an insult, just using it in the context that it's pretty naive to think that soldiers shooting at random cars is disturbing in comparison to all of the other stuff that's going on that people don't know about. My example was the use of white phosphorous on Iraqis, someone else pointed out the russian POWs as another example. I just wanted to broaden peoples views on what "disturbing" actually is.

Actually I didn't know that

No one here is saying that they haven't seen other disturbing things along those lines, it's just that this video was brought up as a specific example. And it alone is very upsetting, I'm sure you could at least say that.

This topic needs more happiness... hmm, let's see.
