That may make me pathetic, but I think it is a human response to ridiculously insane conditions.
And I have no idea how anyone could call this "1st degree murder". If it is a crime, it is in the heat of passion (or more acurately, during a war).
And one last comment: any media has a POV. There is no such thing as "photorealism", or unbiased video. Ask any documentary filmmaker. Or news person who has a clue.

Well that caps it - the decline of the American Empire is now completely unstoppable. Nostatic was the one last bastion of rational, measured humanity that I had hoped existed on this board. If even he can absorb this as reasonable action by a fellow citizen acting on his behalf - America has gone over-the-top.
I am officially done with this board - so long folk - been good to know ya. Life is too short for the negative energy seething around here.
