  • wwooowwww what a fuckn shame on live television this man tried to warn you ppl n they just sat there watching as if its just for entertainment..sick bastards! UNITE!

  • I WATCHED THIS LIVE ON TV WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT WAS ON KTLA

  • @crazyduplicate back in the 60s violent images were shown only in real life scenarios such as Vietnam. Why? because this is serious and people should care! Now adays the masses are desensitized with fake violence in which there is no serious consequences. The media has an obligation to share gruesome reality more than the mind numbing amusement/propaganda.

  • i remember they interrupted the Spiderman cartoon on Fox to show this. Didn't affect me much. I felt bad for the dog that was trapped inside the blazing car though.

  • What impression it will have on the young. Maybe they will realize 'holy shit my county is insane and fucked up'

  • @Transformers4Life1 First off stop capitalizing every word in your comment, that is stupid. Second he didn't kill himself because he "Accidently Set The Car On Fire" he killed himself because he had cancer and HIV and his healthcare insurer would not cover the medical expenses.

  • You Guys Are Stupid!vvvvv

    He Didn't Set The Car On Fire On Purpose... He Shot Himself Because He Finally Lost It Because He Accidentally Set The Car On Fire. And Because He Wasn't Able To Save The Dog.

    Before You Guys Start Assuming Shit... You Should Think About It. Even When You Don't  KNOW What Happened.

  • @CriticalThreatTV The guy shot himself live on air ffs. Did he kill the dog for fun? No. For anyone to commit suicide is tragic. He was in no frame of mind to control his feelings.

    There are hundreds of poeple everyday who commit animal cruelty for pleasure. It's not right but it's reality. people are abused and killed everyday. The dog is irrelavent in this video, get a grip on reality.

  • Can the actual footage be found? I remeber this, but i remember leaving my friends house right before it happened, I didnt think anything would happen.

  • @driscolljohn11 damn same here...
