Spot on, guest.

The reason that these particular atrocities have penetrated the imaginations of JP and Mick may well be the simple fact that they were filmed. But how else do you get some of these issues into the media?

You won't have seen much about it in the papers, but comparable atrocities have been commonplace in Sierra Leone, Colombia, Kenya (forced female circumcision without anaesthetic), DRC, Rwanda, Northern Uganda, Uzbekistan (but that's OK cos they're helping with the oil), Chechnya, Kyrgiztan, China (really buddies, China)....and a few other places, I wouldn't be surprised.

Within living memory such atrocities went on in the good ole USA. And from Mick's tone, I fear he'd have been there in the thick of the lynch mob. But unlike some other lynchers, Mick would probably wake up the next day full of remorse at what he'd done. He certainly would if he's as big as fok say he is.
