I saw the video. The shooter was monstrous in his actions and the destruction of life was deeply saddening.
That said, I am in a way glad I could see it. I find it important for some people to choose to feel pain regarding painful things at times. It is upsetting. I should feel upset about it. To feel the abyssal "wrongness" of it as strongly as I could besides an unseen abstraction that does not reach me as well like a written account might (no matter how well written) is the value that the video brought to me. I think that some things, for some people, should involve not looking away. Especially for the nightmarish yet real. Not right for everyone, but right for me.
