Web Video shows Mexico man’s beheading

A video purportedly showing the beheading of a drug cartel hit man appeared on video-sharing Web site YouTube, and its makers called on Mexicans to kill more members of the gang.

The video appeared as the rival Gulf and Sinaloa gangs wage a bloody battle for trafficking routes and President Felipe Calderon is taking on organized crime with thousands of troops sent to drug-plagued areas.

A message seeking comment was left with YouTube on Sunday evening. The company removed the video late Sunday, and posted a message that the removal was "due to terms of use violation." YouTube policy bans videos with gratuitous violence or illegal acts.

oops, i keep forgetting to do that. Anyways I was wondering how people feel about graphic videos such as these beeing on the internet. IMO i would never watch this but....people should be allowed to watch whatever they want. It could even help find out who did the crime.
