    why bother taking them to the hospital…..

    they clearly have no regard for life - either innocent or guilty

    so morally speaking, by your finely tuned compass, they’re guilty and deserve no remorse.

    but legally and judicially speaking, they may still be innocent or guilty… pending due process, etc.

    but also, they should die in the street. because of the moral compass (see above).

    i haz a confuse.

    How did people get so damned stupid?

    Decades of mainstream culture that panders to the lowest common denominator.

    People used to put their enemies in a big stadium and either let loose wild animals on them or make them fight each other to the death. For entertainment. Let us not overestimate humanity and bemoan those “good old days.” We’ve always been pretty nasty, we just have new technology to kill each other with now.

    Trill, i love your sentiment, but those who own stadiums, likely have few enemies.
