#2 So who are they? Sunnis, Shiites, or what? Here in Manhattan, the people whose bodies turn up in the East River are generally people whose absence make the world a better place. While I don't advocate or condone murder, I do wonder whether the people being killed here are fine upstanding citizens, or local hoodlums who met vigilante justice. Or something in between.
