      It is a video of an Australian citizen being stabbed to death and they are doing it because they dont want the video to encourage other psychos to do the same thing.

      I just want to recontextualize it because free speech warriors have a tendency to disambiguate the thing they are talking about.

        Counterpoint: censoring these videos causes people to downplay their significance.

        Heck, it makes it easier for “fake newsers” to say it never happened!

        because they dont want the video to encourage other psychos to do the same thing.

        Did this guy do what he did because he saw a video of someone else doing the same thing?

          Scientists have been begging news stations to show name and picture of school shooters because every time they don’t there are copy cats. This has been statistically and psychologically well established for literally decades but people just ignore it because they want their violence porn.

          This stabbing came one day after the high profile stabbing in the mall with a ton of video of the stabber. Was this guy inspired by the mall stabber? Who knows what lies in the heart of a person but we can make some pretty good guesses.

          And in reference to the fake newsers. They will say it’s fake anyway. There is no amount of evidence that is sufficient for them if there is an interest in denying it.

          I haven’t seen any source suggesting it was a pen. Several sources, such as https://www.aap.com.au/news/police-powers-bolstered-as-terror-attack-probe-widens/, describe the weapon as a “flick-knife”. Other sources say that the bishop victim was “seriously injured”, and the assailant was injured in the attack and his own finger was sliced off with the knife.

          I think you are right that no one died, but wrong that the weapon was a pen - this was a serious attack with an actual knife.

          Even if it was a pen he got stabbed with it and he only lived due to the intervention of skilled surgeons.

          He was being stabbed to death by the guy. The guy just failed.

        And also the videos were being used to incite people to retaliate. Immediately after the attack, a rioting mob seeking vigilante justice surrounded the church, trapping the paramedics (who were treating the assailant) and the assailant inside. The mob apparently injured dozens of police, damaged about a hundred cars, including writing off a number of police cars, and some people armed with illegal weapons climbed a ladder to try to get into the church.
