I'm curious, in regards to those who participated in this thread & are upset by this act of violence, have any of you done
anything about it?

Come a long way? Sure, that's why the 20th century saw the Holocaust, the Great Leap Forward, the firebombing of Tokyo.... all the while proclaiming the notion of some sort of progress from barbarism!

I guess if prisons were like in "Midnight Express" "Cool Hand Luke" and the "Shawshank Redemption" then you would have a point.

I'm limiting my responses out of laziness & boredom.
