Has anybody here seen gore irl? How different is it from seeing it on your device’s screen?

I have seen 3 "gore" deaths and dozens of bodies as one of my security jobs involved patrolling dozens of medical related sites including a crematorium twice a night.

Bodies do not bother me, they are gone. Its seeing people in the process of dying which can be traumatic and sticks with you especially if its protracted.

A car overturned on the motorway after the rear left wheel blew out, a man half ejected and smashed family burned trapped inside. I can remember seeing the movement inside the car stop.

That one fucked me up in a good way, i maintain my car well, drive very defensively and carefully due to seeing it.

A guy who was slashed with a bottle when i was a bouncer. Not on my door, but there was a pub a few doors down that had a lot of issues, dont know what happened inside but he came stumbling out and half his neck was torn open, still remember the sound of him trying to speak and crying as he knew he was dying. Looked like he was only mid 20s.

He passed away in the back of the ambulance roughly 30 mins after he was slashed.

An old woman crushed after walking behind a reversing truck, she got pinned between 10 tonnes of steel and a brick wall. Died while they moved the truck forward, the pressure of the truck was the only thing keeping her alive with multiple organs crushed and haemorrhaging.

Just last week a man was stabbed to death at the end of my road after months of residents reporting the escalating issues around a dealer moving into a house there.

What i took from it all, be careful on nights out. Be aware of your surroundings. Pay close attention to large vehicles, if the engine is running cross some where else.

Where ever possible, do not put your safety at the discretion of another beings attention.

Do not escalate issues with strangers, you never know who is mentally unstable and might attack you.

I am a big guy, i used to be a loud guy. Now i am quiet and paying attention, i do not ever want my friends of family to see any of the things i have if i can help it.
