I love internet justice. This is what happens: somebody does something reprehensible and word of it gets out. It gets made popular on the internet. Internet people then find the guilty party's personal information and post it everywhere, while flooding said person's social network account(s) with hostile messages and comments and contacting said person or their family directly and communicating their displeasure. Today I call your attention to David Motari, a US Soldier in Iraq who appears in a video throwing a puppy off a cliff. Here's the Digg article. The actual link to the video is down. Check out the comments (sort by most diggs) for a mirror if you actually want to see it, or just go straight to his Bebo site [now private] to enjoy the justice.

[Perhaps at some other time I'll attempt a more level-headed discussion of the ethical implications of this kind of punishment. It seems like there's a lot here to talk about.]

I shall save all the puppies in the world from things like this. One day. Somehow.
