The world was always full of fucking lunatics, many of them dangerous. The internet's made it easier for them to find each other - and recruit new members for their appalling little clubs, though I don't know whether those would've gone on to something similar anyhow.
I'm always delighted when the cops track them down and prosecute them. Policing that shit must be horrifying.
Saw the story about that woman who tortured monkeys yesterday. I'm proud to say I cannot imagine what tomorrow's story will be - though I bet I won't be too surprised when I see it.
