American Justice: Payback For a Bully

Thank you very much (been having difficulties finding this documentary)!

A few days ago I watched it (I would say that it's really well-made). I finally got to hear the comments of Farah Kent (Bobby's mother) and it's good that essential bits from the interviews with inspector Frank Illaraza and the prosecutor Tim Donnelly were included. Author Jim Schuetze's remarks are spot on.

I think that the documentary is as objective as possible and is bound to increase everyone's revulsion when it comes to the murder. I have always been convinced that the initial sentences passed on the conspirators (especially Puccio's one) were more than just. Even Puccio's lawyer seemed to believe that. I do have some sympathy for Ali Willis, she appeared rather remorseful.

Be aware of your own inner ideology!

The more and more I watch this and compare it to Bully, the less and less I sympathy I felt for Bobby Kent. Did he deserve to die? Absolutely not. Did those punks deserve to be in jail? Absolutely. It's just sickening to think about it all. Lisa is truly a master manipulator. Sadly, I feel like Bobby changing his ways still wouldn't have saved his life. As long as he was in their lives, he was going to die.

A bit of the old ultraviolence...
