    What changed between the ‘months of torture’ and Naruto and Safine being arrested, and the '10 days ’ leading up to his death?

    It sounds sick that the French government would decide a man is being tortured yet they’re not obligated to intervene… while at the same time they fine a company for not stepping in.

    If this man was negligently killed, authorities and kick are to blame, but it’s the authorities that should’ve been the failsafe, not the company. I guess it makes sense that French politicians are Very Mad™ and Seriously Considering Bigger Punishments™.

      It’s not the French government issuing the fine, it’s the Australian, where the company is hosted. They probably should have hosted themselves in the US and hid behind the first amendment

        I’m not exactly a US constitutional lawyer, but I’m willing to bet that snuff films aren’t protected by the First Amendment.

      Exactly. Law enforcement investigated and found no wrongdoing. They’re the ones who dropped the ball here. Was there something else Kick was legally obligated to do? I agree that there was a moral fuck up here resulting in somebody dying. But torture between competent consenting adults is legal. Just like we’re saying BDSM is okay

      Also someone else mentioned the TV show Jackass and I just wanna know how some are drawing the line here. So are some of the dangerous stunts on Jackass ok or not? Why?
