12. No, the kid is not retarded, society is "retarded" for airing a fucking execution.

We should not regulate this away, we should simply not want this and it should not be profitable for the media to show this on TV. I say people lead a boycott of the evening news, and news in general until they change their editorial policy to not show any potentially dangerous parts of executions.

You think about the Nick Berg video, they only showed him sitting in front of some guys in masks, the only thing a kid can do to imitate that is set up the same scene. People sitting around are not going to result in someone's death.
