Re: Not quickly enough for me...
When he left his car after running out of gas, he started to run, then thought better of it and went back to get something out of his car. All the time, the copter is overhead and he knows there is no escape. Then he starts to run, erratically and spin in circles like a trapped animal would. Then he runs into the bushes on side of road and turns the gun on himself and fires. It was horrible watching someone in such pain that he had to end his life. Had no idea what the man had done. Still, he was a human being. I cried for him.

It's news PP. At least it was painless for the victim not so for those who are vunerable.
I suppose we empathise with one person more so than watching destruction.

I think they call it news and put it on all the stations. Death, violence, drugs, and sex. You must be fast on the remote, that's for sure.
