Re: [cobalt-users] OT: Hoping you guys are okay

Hi everybody,

These few words are just to let you all know that we here in Switzerland,
can hardly concentrate anymore on our works, since we are absolutely
horrified as well. We follow everything very carefully... and wish we could
do something to help.


Personnally, I have an aunt, who luckily enough made it out of the buildings
on time, but she hasn't heard anything of her "services mates" as she called
them.

I sure hope that they will catch the responsible of this tragedy. The only
rotten thing is that we will never ever be able to punish him/her enough.
Dead-sentence .. and he will be happy because he won't suffer
Life-sentence jail .. and he will be happy because he won't suffer.

The only way to punish these kind of acts would be to remove limb after limb
and not letting the wounds heal !!!

Sorry to be so radical publically but this kind of cowardly acts don't
deserve anything else. We don't people just talk to each other !!!!!!!
