Entitlement, what price?
In the beginning there was no price to be paid for the entitlement of defaming David Bain, the man was 'fair' game, someone to kick when fallen, to be gloated over in his misfortune. People, thought that they were entitled to do that, to forget normal social protocols, to forget checks and measures that make men and women civilised and bound by law and justice. Everyone apparently, had the right to be swept along by bloodful lust, intoxicated with evil and confirm blame at short notice or on a turn of phrase. An opportunity prevailed to watch, even through a misted lens, a hanging, the dissection of a family's life and death, an invitation to be expert upon all that which constitutes the lives of others, despite, not even being expert upon our own. There is a human cost for that, and we are yet to be able to measure the price.

There will be a cost, as those who have taken part, are slowly learning.
ReplyDeleteAt first they were open about whose blood they wanted. Now they try to hide behind the banner of seeking justice for father.
How much of what they say and do, mentions the great things Robin did? I believe he was responsible for the deaths of his family, but even I can see the man had some wonderful attributes, especially in the early days.
These people have become consumed by their hatred, which now has nothing to do with David Bain, but more to do with the inability to admit, they were wrong.
