I've created a torrent for the video if anyone wants to help seed. His sacrifice in bringing attention to the US-sponsored genocide in Palestine must not be forgotten.

Noticed that the MSM is barely touching the story or if they are, with little contextual detail. Am I the only one who has noticed this?

No you are not, NPR mysteriously has no idea what motivated this man who was shouting his motivation

I'm all for shitting on lib media, but please verify claims before repeating them. NPR updated their article over 10 hours ago to report on his motivations.

I'm currently sitting behind closed ports and cannot find any peers when I try to torrent it. I'll try again at home tomorrow shy

Don't bother seeding it, it's a censored version. I don't know if the person who made the torrent added the blur or not, but it seems pointless to preserve it like this.

I'm not able to connect to it.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Just leave it open, it'll find peers eventually.

It's a magnet link. Copy the link address and put it in your torrent client.
