Oh, hell, yeah! I'll take any little piece of discipline as a show of good faith.

I've been devastated since Zimmerman walked. Then the next two extra judicial executions allowed to go un-punished stirred up so much resentment and internal fury, without an acceptable outlet, I've been apoplectic.

This may save me from a stroke or heart attack.

I'll take any little scrap of justice at this point.
