No it wasn't necessary, but then reporting the mugging wasn't necessary either. It was, however, factual--unlike censorship which intentionally distorts the news or media for the sake of political correctness. it was what it was. if you have a problem with that, I suggest you contact the muggers. perhaps next time they can disguise themselves for the sensitivity of the politically correct. somehow I just don't think this mailing list is the place for any sort of censorship.
