In episode 130 of Crivins, Kevie is joined by Bugcast co-host Dave Lee (AKA thelovebug) and first time guest Lainey to discuss the story that has been shown around the world and reported widely on national news channels of the US security guard and the school girl.  As the basis of the discussion, take a read of these two stories: security and cage. The trio discuss the dangers of trial by media and snippets of information being used to form very one sided arguments.
