Regarding "Effort to outlaw posting of youths in violent videos" [News, Feb. 4]: Don't outlaw these violent videos. With these videos out there for all to see, it becomes much harder for the thugs (and their parents) to deny what they have done.
It makes it easier for the victim to not only come forward but to know that, with this evidence, bullies will be brought to justice. There is nowhere to hide; it's all on film. Guilty is just that, guilty. Pay the price.
