My personal opinion on this, is that when something awful is happening on the face of the planet, it is our duty as people interested in the truth, in denying ignorance, to bear some manner of witness to them, so that we can see for our selves and understand the real depth of the things upon which we will no doubt comment.

I commend you for trying to out this defective parasite but why the video unless your into shock value ?
There are some things people just can't deal with seeing and further down the rabbit hole there are people who like you said you wanted to beat on this person that will do just that.
Point being you get the same result with a post as apposed to who knows what with a horrible video.

I don't know how it works in France, maybe you can enlighten Rodinus. In the UK prisoners who commit acts of animal cruelty are frequently made as welcome and treated just as kindly as those who abuse children. Here's hoping the French prison system doesn't have a VPU.edit on 3-2-2014 by hotel1 because: (no reason given)

Thats all very well, but what about people who believe that if something horrible happens, one should not turn their face from it, but allow its full horror in, allow the actual event to stab at one from the depths, and affect one as deeply as it must? What about those of us who are sick of the pathetic, grinding erosion of human strength of mind? What about those of us who have no fear of reality, and wish to allow as much of it as possible into our lives, so that we are not reacting from a false sense of security, a false assumption on an intrinsic level, as to just how little our "civilisation" counts for, when compared with our vast barbarity as a species?
Do those of us with no stomach for the horrors of the real world, have the right to dictate what is posted, what is seen by the rest of us? Some of us like to know our enemy, the depths of depravity that human kind can and does go to. Some of us are not afraid to look into the abyss, and be stared at. Some of us are prepared to dare the abyss to look into our eyes, to know its own damnation reflected in our pupils.
This here is the real world. Things happen in it which are horrific, terrible, and awful. To look away however, means that there is no hope, because if you cannot face honestly what happens in it, then you cannot defend yourself or the people you love, when it arrives at your door. None of us LIKE this stuff, but some of us want to know all we can about it before we deal with it in the flesh, and I think that is reasonable and fair.

Ok, I have to ask, do you have a lot of "special" people over there? I mean, I'm glad they are doing it, posting these videos, so they will be caught and all. But don't you have to be "special" to post them, and do these things in the first place?
Not that we don't have more than our share over here, that's for sure.

LOL I was trying to be polite. Read "special" as Idiot A's (holes)
It just boggles my mind, that A) People think this kind of behavior is ok, and B) I will show the world my behavior, what could happen?
