I don't think many people have a problem with party pix that blur the line between art and pornography, but how do you feel about these stabbing photographs outside of a Syndey nightclub, taken by hobogestapo?

Is there a moral code that nightlife photographers need to adhere to? When is it 'not cool' to post a pic? Are nightlife photographers being genuine when they do their best to give the most authentic representation of each night, or do they just want krazie stuff 2 happen so they can get attention?

Here is the news article about the stabbing:

A major artery in a young man's leg has been severed in an overnight stabbing incident in Sydney's Kings Cross entertainment district. Police say the victim was walking on Bayswater Road about 2am (AEST) today when he became involved in an argument with another man. "During the altercation, he was stabbed in his upper thigh," a NSW Police statement says.

:-(

How do these pix make U feel?
a) p0st m0re bl00d
b) not cool, seriously
c) this happens every where every day, so just cuz there's a picture of it doesn't mean my outlook on violence has changed
d) u should have said this was 'nsfw'
e) people who are looking at HRO while they are at work don't have a real job
f) They do things differently in Australia
g) It doesn't matter because he's not dead, but if that bro had died, it would have been wrong
h) If that happened to me, I would use my last ounce of energy to kill to the partypicBro
