Could you ever see a whole town in America doing something like that? It would NEVER EVER happen, because we are not savages. It just makes me realize that these people aren't even close to keeping up with the progress of the rest of the civilized world. I wish we could just get rid of this kind of primitive **** in the world.
I can easily imagine Americans, English, Outer Mongolians, etc.. doing it. Imagine you had suffered for your entire life under a dictatorship. Recently you had suffered worse due to sanctions imposed by an entity that had now invaded, destroying your infrastrcuture. You had no certainity of water supply, little electricity, no job, and were subject to arrest, torture, and random death by the very occupiers who called themselves your "liberators." A military dictator from that nation was in charge, with a pupet council made up of ex-pats who had lined their pockets with that occupier's money, and it was beginning to look again like you were going to suffer under the same sort of dictatorship, only the name of the leader would change. I know I would likely be outraged enough to mutilate the bodies of people I identified with that foreign invader. Especailly if that was the only way I oculd express my anger toward that occupier.
