I posted this thread with my righteous sounding complaint about the media covering this thing live, but I'm as guilty as anyone of being fascinated by such a spectacle. How could they not cover it?
They have to cover it. I have a daughter leaving for college tomorrow, and took this opportunity to say "See, he doesn't have murdering, raping, sadistic man from hell" stamped on his forehead. It doesn't hurt to remind ourselves monsters walk among us and they look absolutely normal.
