Even if I put aside my belief that they did nothing wrong in popping out for a couple of hours, quite how people can assert that they are somehow responsible for the abduction, or even deserved it, is quite frankly absurd.
I'm always amazed at how fast the British people turn on people, often based on nothing other than rumour and suspicion. These days if we can't see something in front of us (like the McCanns weeping on TV) we are quick to suspect the worst. It's no wonder that we feast on reality TV, where people's emotions can be displayed right in front of us so we can feast on it.
How are we getting our information on this case? From the secretive Portugese police, and then filtered through a hysterical tabloid press. Admit it, some of you just want them to have done it for the sheer sensation that the story would provoke. People want the to share the horror around the watercooler, and gossip over the fence, and of course facts don't matter anymore.
I don't usually get too riled about these things, but to see people turned upon based on PARTIAL forensic results, which is only confirmed as DNA not blood, is frightening.
