I have never said that their behaviour is neither acceptable or normal, nor have I ever remarked that it is a non-issue, but what have tried to convey is that we sholud not be led by a prejucided foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid tabloid press, into a pitch-fork wielding lynch mob. But you carry on being as offensive as you seem fit and just remember that "there for the grace of God go you."

You recommend mercy and understanding to those two? You're pathetic - I wonder why so many people don't want to - it's not like they offered the same options to poor James that fateful day.
