The timing would never have been right for the comment made. I don't care how many times that's repeated; it doesn't make it true.
Knowing your audience should come into play but even with that it's a specific remark that should not have been made...regardless of audience.
The rationalization of 'I am too big a pussy to do anything violent' doesn't count either...one of the most common remarks made about people who commit horrendous crimes is that the perpetrator 'seemed' like such a nice, quiet person incapable of such horror prior to the act.
Causing terror doesn't have to be the act itself. It can be the implication an act may be committed.
Being socially inept shouldn't be a pass, yet, here we are.
