Unfortunately, yes, it has to come to this. As disgusting as it is to see pictures of people getting tortured, beaten, and mauled, there are those who enjoy seeing pictures such as this.
These are the same people who will applaud when politicians are rallying against gays being in the military, or that universal health care is a bad idea and it is okay to let the gravely ill die, or those who are unemployed are to blame for their own situation.
We also got to witness Hussein being hanged. I have heard many people say they do not believe that Osama bin Laden is dead because they did not get to witness him getting shot or see his dead body being thrown into the sea.
Watching people fight for their lives has always attracted people to watch these types of acts, just like a spectator sport. One would have thought we would have evolved into a more compassionate society by now, but instead, we now have extreme fighting cage matches!
