When the American of African origin, Rodney King was viciously beaten by white police officers in near dark by the side of a road, the police thought they were free to repeat this whenever they fancied.
Then riots followed the local courts letting off the guilty police, burning and devastating much of the areas where blacks and latinos lived and shopped.
However, federal courts followed and a citizen's video camera grainy images was enough to convict the perpetrators. That shocked america and opened our eyes to the universalization of the power of reporting the news, even in places one thought were safe from reporters!
That was a landmark event in modern American history.
Now we have the worst and most evil massacre in modern times. not only were civilians shelled by artillery and tanks, but then killers went from home to home shooting folk at point blank range and slitting the throats and cutting holes in the eyes of everyone they found, including mostly children!
Read how the massacre unfolded here and the satellite pictures available it seems to everyone, are being analyzed here
In both the Rodney King case and in the Homs case, the merciless behavior of men are open to discovery. That, at least might help us constrain such cruel behaviors of our "civilizations". That's our hope.
But also, there's a failure of major cultures to really indoctrinate against such merciless attacks in the first place. Thanks to photography, we can have witnesses and detectives everywhere!
