Lets look at this objectively... Sometimes it takes brutal pictures for us as human beings to fathom the severity of a situation. You see pics all the time of starving children in 3rd world countries, hurricane damage, shark attack victims, murder victims, car accidents, sports injuries (where something clearly went in a direction its not supposed to go), or plane crashes. Or how about the icing on the cake, the people trapped in the buildings on 9/11 who jumped to their deaths... or 911 calls... We as human beings, the general populous, NEED this from time to time to keep us moving on the right track. There will always be someone somewhere who is offended or sickened by what they see, or feel disrespected and violated by whom the pictures are posted... but its just the way it is.
For some of you, the picture in question (I haven't seen it myself), may burn an image in your head composed of complete disgust and sadness, and attached is a painful memory of loss. Use this to teach your children, and your friends close to you, to stick around a while.
For me... the real awakening was seeing Ben after his accident. I will NEVER forget the helplessness, and the sheer terror I felt watching him just lay there on the side of the highway and there wasn't a damn thing neither I, nor the other 8-10 people along side me, could do to help. Some of the senior members may remember that after that night... i disappeared for a while. I couldn't handle it anymore. I saw first hand what everyone always said would some day happen... and as kids we never listen... but when i saw it... I knew enough was enough. I did eventually come around again but then George had his accident, and all those feelings popped back up and made me remember that night. You know Ive never actually dropped a phone from shock before that night... Ill never forget that stuff. It took some pretty terrible sights and sounds to make me think twice about my own behavior, but when reality sunk in... did it ever.
Be safe Gentleman.
