A Little Extreme

chavez the hugo: Should have throat punched the prick. Sounds like a smug asshole to me.

Um, heh, that's a little extreme. And not exactly in keeping with Mom's dictates about keeping the peace under her roof.

His remark is true on its face, of course. I've always said, to the families of the killed, to those wounded, to those who have to pick up the pieces in the aftermath, it doesn't matter in consequence whether the cause was a shrapnel-laden mass murderer's bomb vest, a lone off-his-meds nutcase, a broken gas main, or a tornado.

It does matter in the immediate response, of course, whether this was the initial part of some mass organized jihadi attack like in Paris or just a solo nutjob.

And, of course, it matters in a larger sense that Christians are not organizedly preaching attacks on PP clinics while OTOH Imams do regularly encourage jihad.

I just agreed with the remark on its face and went in search of pie.
