    No. What happens is the spectators get severely desensitized to violence. Especially if the spectators are young malleable teenagers. And suddenly sawing someone’s head off in front of a live broadcast becomes just another day on the job.

        This doesn’t make sense. There have been public executions and torture all over the world for centuries, and yet murder and rape were much more frequent than now.
