Well their all weak minded. Only the weak kill themselves. I wouldn't kill myself for any matter.
I believe some people film shit without even thinking. It's like second nature to some. This day in age, everyone has a fucking camera on them and people pull them out instinctively without thinking. haha It's a new syndrome I just diagnosed.

Seeing her die like that.. thats pretty disturbing to me.
All I know is that alot of people from our generation are oppressed there. My ex is Iranian and she told me about some of the shit that goes on there.
Its hard because that area on the globe is very religious and that is mashing with today's ideas/way of life.
There's some people that dont belong in power... and the pictures and video we see from "regular Iranian citizens" shows what we dont know is going on because their media is Gov't controlled to the point you cant say anything bad or have an opposing view.
I feel for those people there.

no one needs to see people die to understand that people are dying
thats that stupid ass PETA shit
i think she deserves more respect than to air her death like that...BUT THAT IS MY OPINION!
you dont have to agree with it or like it.
maybe the people who know her aired it? and in that sense it would be okay for them. i wouldnt know. but when i realized that they were about to show this lady die, and not 'dying' i turned it off
most people clicking on it just want to be entertained keep it real

Gas, I feel what you're saying. I don't think personally if I saw someone bleeding to death I could just film them, but at the same time this video has given the events that are happening there a dimension that words cannot..
If the end result is that more people become active due to this video, then I think ultimately it's a good thing as tragic and disrespectful as it might be..

i feel what youre saying and i agree with that. at the same time ive seen the same 'tactic' (i hate to call it that?) used..at this point for me its become an obvious tactic to change minds or make peopel sensitive. If the one trick pony remains a star, i guess i shouldnt frown at it.
someone might have a completely different opinion on it all had it been their first time seeing such a sight. i do agree that we need to be 'shocked' in that way atleast once, but afterwards it just begins to seem like the wrong way of going about it.
the lady that died coulda been the most fucked up person ever, but given the events filmed on camera, you cannot help but feel a certain way.
i guess it did what it was supposed to do..
'Neda' death video steps up pressure on Iran over protests
6 hours ago
PARIS (AFP) — A video of a blood-drenched young woman, purportedly killed in the Tehran protests, has become an Internet symbol of the demonstrations and heightened pressure on Iran in its battle with foreign media.
The video, showing blood pouring from the nose and mouth of the young woman, was placed online Saturday and has since been viewed hundreds of thousands of times around the world. So far, she has only been identified on the Internet as Neda.
International media have taken pictures from the film which has inspired an avalanche of blog and twitter comment, mainly against Iran's hardline government.
After a call spread by Internet to rally at Haft-e Tir square in Tehran to pay tribute to Neda, police on Monday broke up a gathering of about 1,000 people there.
Later Monday at a press conference in Washington, the son of the late shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, produced an image of the slain protester from his pocket alongside pictures of his family.
"I have added her (Neda) to the list of my daughters. She is now forever in my pocket," the former crown prince of Iran told AFP, fighting back tears.
The film reportedly shows Neda moments after she is hit in the chest by a shot while watching the protests on Saturday with her father on a Tehran street.
Bystanders desperately tend to the woman who wears jeans, a black jacket and an Islamic headscarf. Her eyes roll back as blood spreads across her face. People around her scream and a white haired man desperately tells her: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
There have been mass protests in Tehran against the disputed president election victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The people who originally posted the video on Youtube and Facebook said Neda was shot by a pro-government militia member.
That information, like the fate and the identity of the young woman in the video, cannot be independently verified.
Iranian state TV has said that 10 people were killed and more than 100 injured during Tehran demonstrations on Saturday, the eighth day of the political crisis.
Photos of Neda have been used at demonstrations around the world: from Istanbul to Los Angeles.
A number of Twitter users have been tinting their profile pictures green in solidarity with Iranians in recent days.
A Facebook page entitled "Angel of Iran" has been set up to honour her, bloggers and Twitter messages have called her: "Neda: Angel of Freedom."
"Today people are in mourning for Neda. The whole world has seen Neda, a young woman full of life and hope. Her voice has been reduced to silence but now we will be her voice," wrote Cinderella777.
Among those using the green tinted Twitter messages is singer Wyclef Jean, formerly of The Fugees, who sent a message of support to Iranians on his Twitter feed on Monday: "Support not interfere that's what I'm saying!"
Craig Newmark, founder of the online classified ad service Craigslist, and Joe Trippi, campaign manager for 2004 Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean, are among others sporting green profile pictures.
Foreign media have been banned from covering demonstrations and other public events and rely on witness accounts. Iran has accused Western media of interference and seeking to manipulate the protests.
On Monday, Iran said broadcasters the BBC and Voice of America were trying to break up the country with their coverage.
"The heads of VOA and BBC Persian are officially the spiritual children of (Benjamin) Netanyahu and (Avigdor) Lieberman and their aim is to weaken the national solidarity, threaten territorial integrity and disintegrate Iran," foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi told reporters.
He was referring to the prime minister and foreign minister of arch-foe Israel.
On Sunday, Iran expelled the BBC's permanent correspondent in Tehran, Jon Leyne, accusing him of "supporting the rioters."

shit is sad man god bless her life.
i dont pray too often but i might pray for her.
Put yourself out there like that and you might get shot.
She gets props for doing what U.S. citizens don't/won't do
She gets negative props for becoming a martyr for the wrong people that will accomplish nothing substantive with/from her death
Yall need to stop relying on "news" sources that use Twitter as a "news" source
