Watching this video alarms me! Not just for the obvious, but mostly because it makes me feel like I'm a clone of Garth McVicar of the Sensible Sentencing Trust. Yes, I felt a very strong need for revenge! That makes me no better than Garth and no better than the miscreants who are cheering the execution of that poor woman. Perhaps we're all tarred with the primitive brush!!
