I realize nowadays we are in general de-sensitized to gruesome deaths, enjoy watching fights, etc... homicides and death is a "normal" event occurring in our daily lives either personally or reported on the media outlets...
Anyone remember that website w the pics of dead people and other awful stuff? What was it called...? People are naturally drawn to negativity, interested in death, awestruck in general because those things are interesting...
However when it's someone very close to you and it's as horrific as what's being described, I am sure it's beyond shocking. I'm certain having seen the murder/suicide played out in real time is something he will never be able to erase from his mind. No matter how he plays it off or acts like a dick in general, he's human and I believe most people would be traumatized...
