terrifying & sad

So now we are shooting people in the street, five times in the head, for no reason. Well, if it's started in the UK, soon it will be happening in the US and Canada. I think I'm moving to Mars.

Well, you've already got the Press up and running....

Oh YEAH! I kill me. Not five-times-in-the-head kill me, but you know.

I should also add something that states that I am by no means trying to diminish the seriousness of what happened and am equally enraged by the whole situation. Sorry 'bout that.

on one hand, i respect your ability to say something in such poor taste (as a staunch proponent of poor taste). & therefore lose respect for you due to your addendum. however, on the other hand, i admire the addendum, since i find myself quite affected for some reason by this news story, in a way i don't normally find myself affected. so i respect the addendum that i also don't respect. so is that 2 respects - 1 respect? are the respects equal in value, or is the second respect worth more? some respect, at least, coming your way in an as-yet-undefined quantity.

So much jibber-jabber... and since the joke was in relation to your mentioning of Mars and not of the incident itself, I like to think it was very very witty.

I kid. Anyhow, I totally agree that it is a very affecting story, especially when hearing wbout how this man died. It is a strange situation, thinking there are suicide bombers around and operating on a 'shoot-to-kill' level. The fact that he was innocent proves the system is less-than-perfect at best. The fact that he was shot five times in the head once he was already restrained is fucking putrifying.

But I digress. Back to the thesis.

I'm only skipping country when the wrong man gets shot 6 times in the balls -
