There are and will always be moments in time and history that can only be explained through image. Words can not express what is happening.
So now we want to let people say all the hateful shit they want on the internet but we can't see the direct result of those words?
What's the difference between that photo and this one?

it wasn't a shot of that guys brains being splattered around.
I remember when Mt St Helens erupted and the outrage over the Oregonian publishing this picture of a dead child.

Sometimes a story can not be told in words alone, sometimes to give the full scope of what happened you have to use other means.
And 18yr old hunted down and killed innocent people today only based on their race. This story needs to be told in all the means available.
You can show the story without showing her brains being sprayed out. Remember the Boston Bombing? We knew it was horrific, but didn't need people to start posting pictures of peoples legs being blown off, or bones sticking out of what was left of their legs.
I don't think we're saying don't post links to the pictures, but for gods sake, when you're scrolling down a thread and all the sudden you come to a picture of a womans brains being blown out..I'm just saying, use some decorum.
