Allowing that to go out was wrong on the locals part..How would the producer like to see his significant any one be shot live.
I believe even live has a delay and the producer sits on the button
Also, announcing that they had died before notifying next of kin was an anomaly. Watching the video one could not immediately be sure someone had died.
Allowing the video to go out allowed millions of people to analyze it, among whom some noticed that the killer is in the video, and now there’s a picture of the killer out there already so people can be on the lookout.
Putting that video out may end up having saved lives.
I’m sure nobody in the time delay loop expected a routine early morning human interest story in Whitebread VA to end up like this.
It does, I think they were in shock.
