For those that don't want to watch/didn't understand what they saw: This is a video of a girl watching the protest in Iran with her father. A basij member on the roof of a civilian house shot her directly in the heart. There was a doctor onhand, so he tried to save her, but there was no chance she could be saved from something like that. She died in less than two minutes, despite all the desperate hands that tried to stem her blood.
I've studied Psychology for awhile now. When things like this happen, I always ask why. Why would people be in this situation at all? Why would someone shoot an innocent girl in the heart? I keep thinking back to something in Theories of Personality... "Misery and Stupidity"- the causes of mental illnesses, according to one theorist. But really, it's fear and stupidity that cause things like this. And fear and stupidity are often so inexorably linked in humans.
