YouTube Refuses to Take Down Terrorist Video Depicting Death of Marine
May 31, 2008 · Print This Article
While on YouTube just now, I was browsing combat footage and came across this disgusting piece of trash. The video shows a terrorist sniper shooting a U.S. Marine in the back of the head. I flagged the video, and am asking that you do the same. Of course, YouTube isn’t removing the video, and I’m fairly sure that even with you flagging it, it still won’t be taken down. However, go flag it anyway.
The idea that YouTube allows terrorist propaganda videos is nothing new, but it’s also something that makes me so filled with rage that I literally can’t see straight.
UPDATE: The video has finally been removed and the user suspended. Good job, fellow Americans. ;)

I just clicked on the link and saw a blurb that said, “This video has been removed for violation of terms of service.”
Looks like YouTube is starting to listen.
I dont really agree with your standpoint on this video. Even though you disagree with it being shown, trying to have it taken off is the same as what the terrorists themselves are trying to do. Freedoms are yours because of those brave soldiers are on the front protecting our values and liberties. Have you served? Have you served in Iraq?
If not, then you really have no idea. My unit took a KIA on average of 1 a week due to snipers, and its something that a soldier deals with.
You see it as terrorist propoganda, but I see it as letting the public know exactly what our troops are facing, because we all know the mainstream media isnt going to let you know. Get real man, if you want to make a difference, make a difference with logic.
(I personally dont like watching videos like that, but I do believe in rights, and if you try to take those rights away, you are a terrorist yourself.
