Rodolfo Biazon hospitalised with pneumonia:

Thought I'd better refresh my memory so watched a documentary. Reasons? Well, (i) It's light entertainment Saturday night in the UK. Everybody needs a break from the Forum. (ii) He's relatively unknown in the UK - I know it was fairly big news in the USA - but perhaps not that much - people kept opening packages! (iii) There's the whole age thing too. I mean, I'd have been of an age to take a passing interest at the time, but really a lot of Forum users wouldn't be old enough to recall the events as they happened. (iv) His latter bombs in particular, though the worst, were really nothing compared with the atrocities of the time like the bombs at the World Trade Center (sic) and Oklahoma City. (v) We can look back through the prism of today too. Some of us look at the USA which allows mass shootings with weapons of war killing loads of folk at one sitting and hundreds of people a year today and think, well, it took him 17 years to kill 3 folk. I guess in the grand scheme of things, he's a bit of a footnote. Nobody was as surprised as me when he got a place on the DL. A bad 'un certainly, whether there are worse mass murderers more deserving of our attention, debate at leisure.
