Why should they censor? We the people need to see these things to understand how horrible they are. If you censor this and things like children getting hit by shelling, war becomes OK. And war is never ok.
1) People have the right not to have their corpses, and their spouses' and children's corpses, rubbernecked by a billion people, a significant minority of which will take the opportunity to make jokes about the video.
2) The videos themselves can be seen as a kind of propaganda, both for the violence a person might be capable of and the attention they might get for it. This I'm less sure of: I'd be curious to see if there's a contagion effect.
No. Just no. I'm not even going to try to argue with such ignorance. Responding only to register that there are humans in the world who still have a sense of decency. There are some things where you can't just respond with a knee-jerk "censorship bad because muh libertarianism". Grow up.
