    I certainly remember that, being married two years and planning our first child. I remember in 1984 being scared to give her pain relievers for teething. The human species can be so cruel.

    I remember I was a kid when this happened. About 11 or 12. And other kids, a group of girls at a park, were singing some stupid joke song about this. Wasnt till I was just a little older and wiser that I realized the extend of how evil this was. And they KNOW who did it. The guy sent a threat to Tylenol before anyone even knew Tylenol was what had been poisoned. But they don't have enough evidence, so he will probably get away with it. But he will still answer to God. Hope he dresses for warm climates....I hear its pretty hot where he is headed....

    Lady justice is blind, so if I the judge signed off on tainted evidence being used in a trial then we might as well throw the justice system out and the constitution. The judge has to follow the rules of evidence like the cops should have followed before questioning the suspect.

Also, I understand this video idea wouldn't totally have to do with your channels form of videos like having technology and science integrated into your videos, but I personally would be very interested in watching a video on how Vietnam veterans were treated in the US after and during the war.

    It angers me that the police laughed off the idea that the Tylenol was poisoned. This is the arrogance that all cops have, and this time it probably got people killed. There isn't a cop alive who couldn't become a better person by learning some humility.
