If the video of the Dziekanski incident, which is still being shown repeatedly on TV, got such a public outcry, mainly against the RCMP, maybe the same could work if videos of the Taliban beheading young children and women were shown, repeatedly.
The public is calling for those officers to be charged with murder, when that was clearly never the intent. Those officers were doing their jobs, and an unfortunate and totally unexpected result occurred. Yet we has a massive uproar over this innocent man's death.
Well, okay, I see the point, it bothers me too, it shouldn't have happened, and we should do everything we can to prevent anything like that happening again. Just like we should do everything we can to prevent another kid walking into a school and deliberately killing fellow students.
Just like we should do everything we can to prevent the Taliban from killing more innocent women and children, so maybe, a few beheading/hanging videos would do the trick. Seems that one innocent man dying can motivate the Canadian public, so let's motivate them to help innocents in Afghanistan.
Or, how about showing video of the teacher getting her 40 lashes for naming a bear Muhammad, might that motive women's groups to rally and protest? ***Cue the crickets***.
