My little brother was killed when he was 10 years old. I was 18 at the time. It wasn't a murder, it was an ATV accident where his neck was broken. I've never seen anything more horrifying and soul crushing than my mother's reaction. She was inconsolable for 3 days. I mean constant crying, wailing, sobbing, and anguish. She developed scabs on her face from the constant salt water from tears and rubbing. The only time she could escape the pain was when she passed out due to sheer exhaustion or someone sedated her.
For a person to be able to laugh and smile a day after their daughter was MURDERED? Please. That person is either a sociopath or not that child's father.
ETA: I will concede if they had him drugged up on something to keep him in a certain frame of mind for the cameras it may be possible for him to have this kind of reaction. But I really don't see any other way.edit on 12/19/12 by Malynn because: (no reason given)

I too thought maybe they had him "on something" but he speaks clearly and has no trouble reading from the paper below him.
I agree everyone deals with things a different way than me, or anyone else. I am not saying for certain something is up. I am just saying this feels way off if I go by my gut feelings or intuition.

I don't know for sure if all this is some kind of conspiracy, but it is funny to me how utterly skeptical these forums have become since Obama took office. It's as if they don't think Obama could do any wrong or be behind any conspiracy.
I'll say this. All of these "events" are very strange. Especially considering how the media has reacted. How can anyone deny at this point that the MSM is nothing more than a propaganda machine for the left,Democrats and their agendas?

If the laughter is "how he deals with tragedy naturally"... why switch to what we must deduce is unnatural teary eyed behavior the moment the camera starts?
No matter how we interpret the laughter when he wasn't aware he was being filmed... he's clearly consciously switching to "sad mode" for the camera.

If we allow our "self" to not react judgmentally towards certain thoughts about this video and its possible ramifications, where does that leave us?
Aside from our emotional reactions and polarity created by these shootings, why would "they" allow such a mishap to occur on camera?

Any man that lost a young daughter like that would look like he went to hell and back. He would look like his soul was ripped from his being. This guy is a fraud. If he had really lost a daughter like that the day before, his legs wouldn't be able to hold him upright. This is bull#!

lol it doesn't take a body language expert to see that the smiling and joking attitude he starts off with has nothing to do with grieving. It also doesn't take an expert to see that he works himself into character. There shouldn't even be a debate about this, it's clear as black and white. I'm going to have to go out on a limb here and say that anyone who is trying to argue this is normal, is working for some one... either that or mentally damaged in some way.edit on 19/12/2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)

A comment left under the video..
I can tell you from experience that there is NO smiling. When you lose a child part of you is ripped out of your soul... there is no smiling. And to the idiots that are claiming "oh this is how people react"....no its not. There is no smiling, there is no laughter, there is only excruciating pain.
Turn down the volume, read his lips and tell us what joke he is telling.
