I was living at a house at the bottom of a hill that looked like Cockburn Street in Edinburgh.
I looked up to the top of the street and saw four young men had been executed by hanging from lamp posts. I was appalled as I had just called at that house on a door to door collection and I had met them along with their Italian mother.
All made worse in that it was the police or army that had commited the atrocity.
It's no safe these days.

When I looked at this again just now your title made me think of a song by Joy Division called 'Atrocity Exhibition'.
'you'll see the horrors of a faraway place, meet the architects of law face to face, see mass murder on a scale you've never seen, and all the ones who tried hard to succeed ...this is the way...step inside.....'
I wondered how that group got their name.
Another suicide though and then the arrival of the 'New Order'.
Probably a story behind it all.
