Sorry, Monty...I don't see it that way. I have always believed that the punishment should fit the crime. Hasan is a mindless monstrosity, but beyond that....he's evil. Why can't everyone simply accept the fact that evil is real and exists in our world? I don't care if Hasan's mommy didn't hug him enough or his father had a drinking problem, etc. There comes a time when we have to take responsibility for our actions and suffer the consequences. I cannot think of one reason why we shouldn't be angry about a vicious and unprovoked attack. So I guess I am a hot-headed reactionary. Meh. So what? I'm okay with that. :smile:
