  1. With all of the negativity against journalists in the past years it breaks my heart to see this! I am an Iraq/Afghanistan Vet I’ve seen all types of journalists and have nothing but the upmost respect for you all! There is something to be said about a woman or man that comes to a war zone without a gun but with only a camera! ❤

  2. Sometimes getting that money shot is deadly…Esp when venturing in WAR torn countries that are not your own. DARWIN AWARD Winners…RIP

  3. this is a shadow of what the USA will be 7 years from now

  4. Camera man never.. nevermind

  5. WOW 30,000 dead. God bless the real journalist out there.

  6. Prayers for what, to what? More PROOF that there is NO SUCH thing as a GOD.

  7. Better send some Freedom pretty soon

  8. imagine getting smoked by a soldier in flip flops.

  9. This is 2007? Should people go to war with us for what we did in Iraq

  10. And, sadly, soon enough, too many of us will forget this.
    But, we, those who foolishly optimistic 'Freedom for All – fighters' all across Myanmar will keep on sacrificing our lives till we wiped out the fascist imperialist group of thugs from our land because there are no other alternatives.

  11. We need to find the name and identity of the SOB who shot him >:-(

  12. Camera man never dies!

    "When does a man die? When he's struck by an incurable illness? When he is shot through the heart? When he eats a soup made of poisonous mushrooms? No! A man dies… when he is forgotten…!" – Dr. Hiriluk

  13. So sad. War is never a good thing. It is always the innocent that pay the highest price.

  14. These guys got the Nobel Peace Prize, huh?
    I wonder why Russia is perceived to be more anti-democratic than these barbarics.

  15. Amazed this camera footage resurfaced. RIP❤

  16. If only there were oil there perhaps these people would be liberated of such a regime.

  17. Is there a larger world power, possibly an Asian one, which controls this inhuman regime?

  18. If only that country produced oil.

  19. I really hate hearing about so many trivial matters in the news when western media has been utterly silent on what's going on in Myanmar. Why is NBC talking about a 15 year old murder when children younger than 15 are being massacred all the time in this country? I guess they should've been journalists.

  20. As a journalist my heart breaks for everyone involved by this sadistic repression

  21. I never seen a soldier on sandals 💀

  22. very sad to see when whole International community is totally silent Against Myanmar junta government

  23. A soldier with a rifle in thong sandals

  24. barma now brutal dectator. u.s. a. and bangladesh must punishment undemocratic killer

  25. India, China and Russia are supporting Myanmar junta

  26. lets not for get what Japan did in that part of the World in WW2 mass murder of millions of ASIANS .

  27. See what happens when government has full control real Americans will never give up are gun rights

  28. No bullets, but same oppression and one sided justice in America, whats the difference ?

  29. The full video can be seen south China Morning Post where you See the victims family and his younger sister living in Bangkok. Such a sad story. My heart goes out to the family.

  30. he was Flat out Murdered. plain and simple.

  31. Journalists can be so brave, and too brave and foolhardy at times. Life means more than death, may you RIP and may the others be far more careful.

  32. Terribly sad… The fact that we even consider the country Myanmar is ridiculous. The name was changed from Burma by this very same militant group

  33. What a 💩 hole place and nothing will be done because victims have no right in any nation.

  34. Check out the camera. SONY. One of the reasons I love Japan! The others are Canon, Yamaha and Nissan!

  35. When the people are disarmed, they are sheeple….. NEVER AGAIN, does not resonate here……

  36. “The world” is just waiting for one or the other side to finish the other off. It puts “The world”‘s interests into question, almost like sanctioned genocide.

  37. #US #EU #NATO AND #ICC/UN AND ASEAN MUST GIVE ARMS AND WEAPONS TO MYANMAR FIGHTERS WHO ARE FIGHTING THE MILITARY JUNTA NOT ONLY UKRAINE.

    #HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE!
    #END CORRUPTION, CRIMES, DRUG CARTEL AND TERRORISM.

  38. “Newly found” footage…

  39. Reminds me of the murder of bill stewart during the Nicaragua civil war
