What is wrong is wrong- and should not be compared with other wrongs to make it seem less wrong.
Same thing when after f.e. Abu Ghraib people pointed out the horrible things that terrorists have done to make it seem less despicable. As in "But they behead our people- so stop whining about a few nude shots."
While I do not agree with the reactions I have seen in some places- folks saying the guy should be killed and whatnot- I neither agree with letting this vid and others slip while shrugging my shoulders and going "Ah well- beheadings are so much worse.".
Both things are wrong- and both should be dealt with as good as possible.

Oh come on now. Are you telling me there's not different levels of wrong? You don't have kids do you? That's why I said earlier that people need a little perspective. It was a DOG, a stray DOG. Yes it was cruel and stupid and everything else and sure he should be punished. But if someone assaulted my dog (yes I have two dogs), I would be ticked. If someone assaulted my kids, it's a whole other level.
