Man in gorilla suit grabs kid (video)
http://www.cnn.com/

10th link under "Latest News"

Also, after this video ends, the next video (starts immediately) shows two people getting struck by a car.

What I find unusual about these videos is the number of times CNN shows you people in turmoil and experiencing crisis situations. Over and over, and in "slow motion." There's even a bit of the dramatic in the way the editor/director handles such cinematic techniques as camera shots and angles...

It really has become "infotainment."

4. Cops will harass people, beat people, act like pricks, go overboard...

...all the time for no good reason and then they let someone who grabs a defenseless child and runs away and has to be stopped by people chasing him on camera get off scot-free; that is fucked up.

2. I was more disturbed by the school meeting.
School meeting in Seattle regarding school closures in mostly poor, minority neighborhoods. Lot's of shouting and shoving matches.

The bubble-headed bimboes behind the desk were laughing at how angry the parents were.
