Lighting the Fire and then running.

Col. Russell Williams: Should the videos and photos be destroyed?


This story is now closed to commenting.


The end is new for news media when they pull stunts like this. They ask for your opinion , let you vote and everything , and then you see the story is closed for commenting and there are Zero comments , the story was never open for comments.

Why ?

Because it's too much work. Because they want the popularity of running a story thats in the public interest but they don't want to deal with the ten thousand comments such an interesting story will generate.

In other words, they don't want to be a newspaper, and they hate user comments, and anytime it looks like it's going to generate too many they cut you off at the knees.

My opinion was no , don't destroy the photos, lock it up in some archive for forensic experts and psychologists to look at and learn from.

But it seems no one at CBC wants to hear that.
