I feel sorry for Shep Smith. This stuff happens to him too often. Don't watch if you don't want to see a suicide: http://www.buzzfeed.com/jtes/car-chase-ends-in-man-shooting-himself-on-live-tv
I don't see what the big deal is. It's life. It wasn't even gory at all. People get too worked up over this stuff, in my opinion.
Oh, the massively stupid trolling... At any rate, Shep was getting worked up there... Awkward moment, I'm sure...
What was that guy doing with a concealed gun? Doesn't he know that's illegal? I think we need to make guns illegal now.
Who cares, only good thing about it is the criminal loser spared tax payer dollars. Only if all criminals would follow suit.
Yeah I was watching it when it happened. It really wasn't that bad, but yeah, i'm sure there are some super-sensitive types that are outraged by it. Which is funny, since there is plenty of images of blood and war that get shown that's a hell of a lot worse than what happened with this guy.
Its the surprise of it and not having warning to turn your kids head or something. Its just not respectful but mistakes happen.
How long before some Liberal rags criticize Fox for showing it, but fail to show Shepard Smith basically mortified afterwards. Creative editing. Lets see how low they can sink.
Yeah I saw the video. Nothing disturbing about it at all. He just pointed the gun at the side of his head and shot and his body crumpled up and he fell face first in the dirt. Compare that with what you see in hollywood movies and it seems like violence-lite. I can understand people being upset though, some families might not want their children seeing that sort of thing. I know if I was a father I wouldn't want my children to witness it either. *shrug*
I do find it ironic that we are so desensitized to violence in fiction yet people lose their stool over this kind of mistake. Regardless, I would still prefer not to see this kind of material on the air out of respect for the family.
Update: Apparently the hijacker was listening to NPR and they said that obama is so far ahead in the polls that the election is over and obama will beat Romney. At that point he jumped out of the car and shot himself in the head. (Too soon?)
