> [@OneCentStamp](#): > > For legit horrifying, the Station fire would have to be up there. Th Station nightclub fire was terrible especially because I don’t live that far away from it. However, watching ISIS execute the Jordanian pilot they shot down was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen because the video made it so personal. One of the things that make it so disturbing is that it isn’t just grainy footage. It has fairly high production values for a piece of terrorist propaganda but it is very real. Watch it at your own risk. ISIS produced it as a short and extremely disturbing documentary. > **[WARNING GRAPHIC: Complete ISIS Video of Pilot Burned to Death](https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/02/04/warning-graphic-complete-isis-video-of-pilot-burned-to-death/)** > > Breitbart News here provides the entire video of ISIS burning a Jordanian pilot alive.

Just reading this stuff here is enough for me. I avoid as much as possible, seeing videos and such that depict horrifying violence or tragedy. The couple of light news sites I follow are enough, plus reading about the crazy shit here. Between what’s on the TV news in this city and what I see IRL what people do to their cats and dogs, my hope for humanity is constantly pummeled enough. ☹ I need my recreational computer time to be good. ---

A former schoolmate of mine was shot execution-style by her husband and he posted the photographs of her kneeling flailed backwards dead onto Facebook. Facebook, really?

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > Facebook, really? I guess he wasn’t trying to avoid getting caught at all. Did he just post them and then sit and wait for the police to arrive? Apparently he called his boss, told him he shot her, and that he was on his way to the police station to turn himself in. [spoiler]His FB status after posting the photos: “Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news my wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope you understand me” His reason as to why he posted the gory photographs of her: “He said he posted the photo to notify Alfonso’s family, the sworn statement said.” WTF > **[Alleged Facebook Murderer Derek Medina Called Boss to Confess to Crime, 911...](https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/alleged-facebook-murderer-derek-medina-called-boss-to-confess-to-crime-911-call-reveals/1931893/)** > > A chilling 911 call made by the boss of accused Facebook killer Derek Medina surfaced Friday as part of newly released evidence in the case. “Somebody just called to report he just shot his girlfriend 16 times and he’s on his way to the police... video/source ^ [/spoiler] ---

> [@usedtobe](#): > > Why do people go looking for stuff they KNOW is going to be offensive, and then ‘complain and/or brag’ about what they found? You actually need to ask that question? The macabre provokes a certain level of curiosity in people. Everyone has a wildly different threshold for what they’re actually willing to view and the lengths they’ll go to view it, but if you’ve never had the slightest bit of curiosity in anything remotely morbid, just to see what something morbid looks like, then you aren’t human. ---

> [@usedtobe](#): > > Why do people go looking for stuff they KNOW is going to be offensive, and then ‘complain and/or brag’ about what they found? Over the years i have looked at every kind of death there is suicides beheadings, car wrecks, etc, why I am not sure. Not for entertainment. Maybe because before the net i had never seen death. I still don"t know. Maybe for the sense of finality, maybe for don"t be a moron and die like that. Maybe just curiosity. It doesn"t freak me out anymore. Soldiers and first responders see it every day i guess I just want to see what they see. Doesnt make me a sick freak ---

I’ve seen more gruesome things, but the one that got to me the most was a video I saw many years ago of some neighborhood that was bombed by U.S. forces in I think Iraq. It was several villagers sifting through the rubble, there was an older woman who was wailing the entire time, and they were pulling bloodied and charred corpses from out of the debris. The woman just kept wailing and shrieking for minutes on end. I had the absurd thought that if this were part of a movie or TV show people on the internet would say it’s fake, hammy, and bad acting. ---

_Terrifying_ is the wrong word, but that picture of the Korean girl who went looking for her lost dog and found him char-broiled at a roadside food stand. The image of her squatting down, petting a cooked dog and crying her eyes out… ah, jeez. ---

What is the point of this thread? To celebrate those Dopers amongst us craziest enough to stick the butterknife farthest into the wall socket? There is horror, darkness and chaos beyond imagination lurking in the far recesses of the internet. Close your eyes and conjure up the most sinister, debased shit you could possibly conceive. Somewhere on the internet, there’s worse, it’s real, and it’s happening to real human beings. There, I just “won” the thread. Happy now? Now everyone can stop reducing the collective rot of the human psyche into a 14-year-old’s truth-or-dare birthday party game and start regarding the unfortunate reality of others with the solemn respect it deserves. I’m not normally one for preachy rants and those on The Dope who indulge themselves thusly are routinely poked with a stick and mocked accordingly, but that’s fine by me, mock away, because this thread is ridiculous. My god, GTFU, we are better than this. Go play Candy Crush, or build a fort out of cushions in your living room, or something. ---

The 20 Scariest Google Street View Sightings on [mashable.com](http://mashable.com) There are other sites but this one is the real deal. I showed this to a friend and he said that he didn’t find it scary, but he must of been lying. It’s so disturbing that I do not want to go through it again to tell you which images I found most disturbing. It is truly nightmare fuel.
