I am really shocked that these kinds of videos exist and that they then get uploaded online. I believe the BBC posted this incident too.
I have to say that I find this kind of stuff disgusting. It is wrong that people film this stuff let alone publishing it. My wife had loads of clips of the earthquake in the Philippines an the same issue applies there. I think the press has a duty to report news yet I think there should be censorship on what is published. There were clips that my wife was unacceptable including kids being traumatised. I refuse to watch it these clips but watching an attempted murder is beyond the pall.
I am generally sympathic with the fate of refugees but I do wonder who is checking stuff like mental health.
