There is a difference between not covering something up and using something purely for commercial gains. (note that I didn't say cj shouldn't be *allowed* to show the vid)
Personally, I think all information of this type should be available from non-entertainment (preferably non-commercial, public) sources. Not because of the sick fucks that want to see it for fun - like the ones here on gfy - but because of journalists, scientists, historians, politicians, activists, etc., so society has a way of checking the facts.
But that isn't really important. I'm talking about motivations and moral limitations here, not consequences. The murderers are killing people for political gains, cj is showing the vid as entertainment for financial gains, and thousands of people are watching it as entertainment.
I'm not criticizing a system in which stuff like that is possible, I'm criticizing the people doing it. I support freedom of expression, yet I will still consider someone a retarded piece of shit if he starts shouting nazi propaganda.
