(15,435 posts)What I've found before with some video is that actions prior to the "on" button, and after the "off" button, are sometimes very relevant to the story.
The point is that we all need to be able to think of the possibilities rather than simply be snagged in - ANYTIME - there is video.
So do I think there is more to the story in the videos showing ISIL beheading Americans? No, I think some videos are what they appear to be. But MY point is simply that there are times when some videos are not what they actually appear to be when put in context of a larger story.
I must add, too, that I am hopeful that Ferguson will not see as much violence as seems to be anticipated. Hopefully, provocation will be seen as just that, and protestors and others will understand its consequences.
