I think its a great example. If we understand that even folks that voted for and serve what amounts to our generations symbol representation of evil can't simply be murdered without moral cost we might apply that to folks who may have voted for Hamas who are being murdered right now by people who attach no value to their lives.

It IS deliberately provocative for a reason.

  • I hear you, and perhaps if you had included more of this substance in your GP comment, it would have been a little less inflammatory. Hard to say though. You can't bring that particular N-word into a thread like this (or really any internet thread) without having the effect of a gunshot in a chicken yard. It's the commenter's responsibility to mitigate those effects, not set them off uncontrollably.
