Is it really any different than how people showed up for public executions for centuries?

Or how in the South, people would go to lynchings and treat torturing Black men to death a form of community entertainment?

I grew up in the suburbs outside Indianapolis. Why do people go to the Indy 500? Take a guess. You know the answer.

As humans, we are the real vampires. We thirst for blood and crave spectacles of death and suffering.

Kids, did you know that before the internet, it was highly unusual to see a real person die on video? They used to have urban legends about it, they called them "snuff films." Now we get autoplay videos of exploded soldiers and bloody mass shooting victims beamed right to our pockets.
