Jeezus wept.
There I was, thinking that we had reached a plateau of violence and retribution. Amazing how accustomed you become to the day-to-day horrors beamed into your living-room. Then this... a new depth. Sad thing is... it isn't new. This sort of thing went on and goes on all the time - went on in Somalia, Rwanda, Iran, Indonesia, Chile... you name it. It happens every day and we never blink, we never even hear of it. How many poor bastards have suffered a similar fate?
