When he was finally condemned to death, a lot of people cheered. He deserved it, they said. I can’t believe they took so long to decide his fate. Especially after watching what he did over and over again on TV.

And then there were those who were sure that death was not a human decision. It should be unexpected or at least, unplanned. The punishment turned into debates over dinner, TV, hashtags and blogs. He obviously didn’t plan it. He only executed the plan. But he was around, on camera and guilty and deserved of death.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid to die. It had always been a high possibility that he would while on the job. So, would it actually be punishment, some asked.

To which angry hashtags replied that a message was a message was a message. And then they looked around at each other, everyone waiting for someone else to volunteer to do the job.
