That's NOT what you originally said you ****er! Only in a later post you 
changed your story as well you should have.

Whilst I can sympathise with any one who witnesses a mans head split open
in 
front of them, he was still "possibly" someone's partner, father and son
and 
if it was alcohol that caused him to do it, doesn't make the tragedy any 
different to "losing any sleep over it".

That is what would cause me to lose sleep over it. I have seen many a
humans 
smashed remains and no matter whose fault it is, it still remains a life
is 
extinct through an accident or suicide. There are many others who will
feel 
the hurt in these situations and if you can live through "not losing any 
sleep over it" all I can say is what I have already said to you.
