When I was a kid back then, one of the neighbour's boys shot himself on video right after talking about a few things that seemed to be the reason for his decision. His dad immediately called my dad, who was a police officer and former combat medic, but this boy knew what he was doing. There was no chance in hell of saving him. His family wasn't able to watch the video afterwards and asked my dad if he could take care of it till they are ready to do so. My dad keeps it in his attic to this day. I don't think that anyone else but him has watched it during all this years.

      If their main point was keeping children safe they'd have alarmed the police first. If that doesn't work, they could still have wandered off into the woods. And when you've got the choice between calling for help and tweeting about the possibility of your heroic demise ... yeah, no, that's goal no. 3 - "get famous!!!".

    This is a masterpiece. I was pretty much hooked by the daring premise from the start but I never knew where it was going. The dramatic irony of both men having the exact same goal was suspenseful enough, but for it to turn out the victorious protagonist was only in it for the fame--absolutely amazing exploration of the morals of vigilantism and connections to protagonists via their presumed motivations. And that's just the story! So many beautiful and intriguing shots of the trees, I absolutely love this!

    That was depressing, both would've made a great team! There was some scenes where the problem could've been solved if they were just clear with each other or questioned the actions of one another during the scenes. Playing hero is no joke, and I think this video translates that wonderfully. It just sucks because both just wanted to do the right thing (if you excuse beating the crap out of someone) and pretty much ended up killing one another. It's a gray world. The fear of uncertainty, trust, and motive to find the truth plagued those men (in retrospect the community of that area) to quickly act upon each other without thinking. Definitely leave it to the professionals to do the work. There's more this video likes to touch on, but it's late...lol I was looking for horror videos to watch at 2:00 am. xD

He would've died fast and if not, there's a 0% chance he could fight and talk like he did.
