baby thrown from truck three times.

I don't know what to make of this. If true it hurts all of us in many ways. The child even if not physically injured is probably doomed, having to grow up among such people. Others would be traumatized simply by witnessing such a thing. If you were there, with a gun, would you use it? Would you actually shoot someone, witness the blood spatter, stick around to defend yourself in court?

This story seems designed to make people jump to radical conclusions. It's one of those examples where logically a bystander should have no excuse for not jumping in but practically there are plenty of reasons not to. As much as I hate the idea of being forced to share the world with such animals (if the story happened as alleged), going off half cocked could get you killed and not change anything else. So many questions. So the women repeatedly retrieved the child for the abuser to throw again? Not saying it can't be true. There are some pretty f***ed up people in the world. I still wish that there was another source of information than a 2nd hand report.

You see all kinds of stuff on Utube. This would have been internet gold. Sounds gross but it would answer a lot of questions. I know MY phone takes video.

I know how hard it is to keep thinking in such a stressful situation so I am not blaming anyone for not getting video. I do want to point out the pressure that exists to not doubt the story simply because of how bad it is if it is true given how defenseless the victim is. I therefor defend my right to keep in the back of my mind how I haven't heard about this from any other source including people I know who live in the area, no news, no tourists who took video, etc, plus what a perfect story to generate an intense emotional reaction.
