I am the magnificent, I'm backed by the shack of a soul
Boss most turnin', stormin' sound o'soul

I am W-O-O-O, and I'm still up here again, hey

I saw this video. 📹 Yes, absolutely horrific. I had no reaction but a fixed & focused expression on my face like I was analyzing a painting. 🖼🎨

I’m strong so I was able to sleep peacefully that night. 😴💤🌙 Fine, call me sick in the head for that. But I love horror movies, I watched that Dahmer show on Netflix that came out in September of 2022. ❤️🎥🎬

I do have a few questions about the video, though. 📹

1. Why were the men so calm when the chainsaw was getting closer & closer to their neck? 👨🏻

2. During both of their beheading...none of them screamed in pain. They were super quiet & made no facial expressions of agony at all.

4:31 and I agree with your and authors message about it. Seen it ans a bit more but drew the line. There are things to be learned here, don't be foolish, don't cross people, try to make better decisions.

When I saw it, I showed two friends, they didn't believe it because the first guy took the chainsaw and didn't flinch. One theory and argument I made was "perhaps they were given an offer they couldn't refuse" like Godfather 1, but darker.. "Either you take this chainsaw chop or we hurt your family."

It is really sad these things happen, I mourn for both the 'victims' of torture and the 'violator', one has both egregious pain and remorse, the other has great remorse and burns eternally. What I think anyways.

"Some can read War and Peace and think it is just an adventure story, while others can read a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe." - someone famous

I would tell folks to learn from thr testimony (mistakes) of others and not search out this content.

Wow that's early what's it about

@ddobry21

I saw it around the same time as you and have seen many since, it was my first. Some are far worse than this one. The most recent one I saw was maybe not as gory but still quite memorable as it showed a man being kept in place while a dog ate his genitals and then some. I have no doubt they murdered him afterwards but they didn't show it.

I had a friend that watches these kinds of gore videos with real murders or accidents and after I while I noticed a big change in him. I believe it killed a part of his soul and he’s super desensitized. Lesson to take from this, don’t desensitize yourself with this kind of real life violence

@Dolomite1

I've seen a lot of those videos, but growing up I got to see dead bodies, etc on regular TV news. If I may ask, did your friend grow up in a safe, protected environment?

@sgt.puddingslaps

@Dolomite I assume yes why?

@Dolomite1

​@Sgt.PuddingSlap69 well, think about it this way, a 30 y/o US soldier could easily have ptsd after combat, but a 30 y/o isis fighter probably not cause he grew up seeing all type of stuff.
