Just curious

[Lurker Deluxe]

Why is not one of the videos, including the FBI one, posted here for discussion?

The videos of Rittenhouse shooting two people in the street pretty much point blank range with an assault weapon.

Are they flagged and removed immediately?

1. Just curious...WTF is this post about?

[Lurker Deluxe]

3. just a question

No particular reasoning ...

Just seems odd there is none.

6. I still have no idea what you are asking about...

some FBI video? Concerning what? A stakeout of a gang in Laredo? A sting operation in Baltimore? Training films about sexual harrassment in the workplace?

Shit, I've typed more than you have in this thread. I'll stop.

You win.

2. Just curious, what on earth are you talking about?

4. Lurker Deluxe, I have no clue what you are talking about and doubt anyone else does either.

But that was a pretty curious (and pointed) accusation towards DU... Perhaps you'd like to clarify.

5. What videos?

Wanna give us all a clue?

[Lurker Deluxe]

7. Um

There are videos all over the net of Rittenhouse shooting two people in the street pretty much point blank ...

Those videos.

8. You can link to them.

[Lurker Deluxe]

10. well ...

therein lies the question, right?

if they are flagged for removal for showing direct footage of a brutal murder/s because that is frowned upon ... why would I post them?

11. Have you been told they are being removed for showing direct footage of a brutal murder?

[Lurker Deluxe]

12. by who?

Who could possibly tell me this?

The reason for the question.

13. Could you at least show where one could find one of those videos?

[BlackSkimmer]

15. Thanks for finally filling us in.

Most of us had no clue. The Arbury videos? Videos about the missing tennis player? Megan Markle on Ellen?

Context really helps in an OP.

Why don’t you post them before making unfounded accusation?

16. Accusation?

Sorry. I had another cup of coffee, had a smoke, and took the trash out.

Not a keyboard warrior.

I find this site to be informative to read and a lot of times has fantastic takes on issues. Which is why I have been in the past, and currently am, a star member. Contribute where you find value.

However, posting here is brutal. Although a member for 10+ years I rarely post due to the fact that as a "low count" poster it seems although I am immediately on the defensive every time I post.

I'll go back to being a "lurker" ...

I will continue to contribute because I find the site enjoyable to read, damn sure not to post though.

17. You accused DU of removing videos.

Remember?

Don’t feel all alone, believe me, no matter how many posts you might have, you can be attacked on this board. Any of us who’ve been here any amount of time can attest to that.

18. ok

I am not aware of any formal moderators here, but certainly could be mistaken. I serve on juries and am asked to help determine if posts violate rules all the time.

Hell, twice today.

So, in effect I guess I would be accusing myself?

It seemed a pretty harmless question to me ... guess I was wrong. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.

Like I said ... lurker I shall be.

No more to add.

9. It does seem like you could ask a question, w/out knocking the moderators.

They are the reason that this group is 'home' for us.

14. You feel the video of people being murdered would enhance the discussion?

If YOU think conservative gun-nut murder porn is necessary for the discussion, why are you requiring others to post it?

Personally, I think posting it would be a bit sick. I know what the creep did. I don't have to watch it. That's why I wouldn't post it. I don't post taliban beheadings either.
