No info at link yet, just came across the TV.
1. Wergeld - a fine for doing something bad
2. Shunning or ostracizing - remove all contact, which in the olden times would force a person to leave the community or starve.
3. Vendetta - if the criminal refused to pay the fine and refused to leave, then his life, the lives of all of his relatives and all of his and their property was forfeit.
The last seems like a bit severe escalation, but it's not good to judge other cultures by our own standards. ;)

That this cowardly zip-wad did not lose his job over his idiotic and insensitive statements before the Fort Hood cadavers had a chance to go cold shows the sorry state of our military leadership.

DECEMBER 29, 2009 : (OBAMA ADMIN HOLDING BACK INFO FROM CONGRESS) The Obama administration’s handling of the Christmas Day terror plot has been “schizophrenic” says King. “It’s reflective of their handling of other incidents. They still haven’t given us any information on Fort Hood. Even with the gate crashers, they’ve refused to give us on information on communications between the White House social secretary and the Secret Service. They’re giving us nothing and Democrats in Congress are very reluctant to have any meaningful investigations.” Politics, not national security, is driving these decisions, says King. “They’re holding back because they don’t want to share embarrassing material.” (Excerpt) Read more at corner.nationalreview.com ...------King: White House blocking NW 253 investigation by Congress National Review Online ^ | 12/29/2009 | Robert Costa Posted on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 8:43:49 PM by Prospero

Yes, but those would be crocodile tears: Liberals and trust funds are intertwined (especially those with more than one trust fund). Without those funds, they'd actually have to work. Besides many of them - in the Seattle and Portland areas - live outside of the cities. Cities are just places for meetings and entertainment. Then it is back to their 20,000 sq ft old growth log cabins in the heart of their 100 acre forested estates.
Will we ever wake up and do what is necessary?
