Isn't the reaction to this event interesting.

You see so much crap on the news;
Old people being bashed.
People being raped.
Muggings.
Mass murdering.
Etc, etc.

Yet, in recent times, I can remember none of this commanding the pure outrage and willingness to contribute to a cash reward than the man who sadistically punched what appeared to be an injured kangaroo and posted it on youtube.

Aren't human beings an interesting creature?

I think because all the other things you mentioned are so commonplace and discussed daily in news we become used to it. So when something like this hits the news we react. It doesn't mean the other crimes are lesser. And we can ony respond to the threads that are posted, which in this case was the roo story.

I agree with EB_5Litre's comments, there are far greater things that require our attention and 4 pages of forum responses than a bloody kangaroo getting punched.

So does me commenting invalidate my point? Is that what your trying to say? Stop insisting upon yourself.
