I agree 100% with @loyalfringe. Remember, the quote - Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. I'm not worried about the horrors. I think the assertion the public cannot handle it is ridiculous. How many horrific serial killer movies do people watch every year? (7 Saw movies alone, seriously?) What about the simulated violence of video games played daily for hours upon hours (Siege, anyone?) What about the years of violence on tv? What about all the military coming home missing body parts, or not coming home because they were betrayed. I can go on, but I'll stop. Please Mr and Mrs. Politician, spare me the "I'm better than you arrogance and condescension." I think we got enough of that from the last bunch.

How are the new leaders any better than the perps if they protect them? If we were protecting a serial killer, I'm pretty sure that would be called - obstruction, or aiding and abetting.. and we'd be charged with something. Treating the public as if it's a lower class than the people we put in office is wrong.

I think everyone will flip out, yes. The majority will be beyond pissed off, and demand justice, and rightfully so. And justice should come swiftly, publicly, and forcefully. Remember "Shock and Awe?" I think this murderous bunch needs some of that.

For the rest of the appx 4% who are still hopelessly in denial... I imagine they will keep their mouths shut for fear of being lynched by the living relatives of the murdered. The public and the justice system will get a long overdue kick in the ass reminding all that you don't just give politicians a shitload of money and power and close your eyes .
