shameful, absolutely fucking shameful.
Not sure whom you are specifically referring to. From my point of view I don't see anyone thinking what this individual did as good. We all agree what they did was horrible, deeply disturbed and bad.
I never talk in terms myself as "conspiracy". JKF being killed by the Cubans, or Mob that is a conspiracy. "9/11 was an inside job" That is a conspiracy. Conspiracies of any kind are coming from delusional fringes who gap fill because mundane reality isn't sexy enough for them.
Having said that, I do see however, in the west, a level of political rhetoric coming from the right, that does play well to many that markets well, but does not help foster more global stability. I was glad for example, to see France bitch slap in a big margin, their right wing hyper nationalist.
My only point in objecting to the Tweet posted here, was that while I agree with the anger to the act, I am not sure that was the right way to express it. I think that does not only play into the marketing of those inspired to do such horrible things, but at the same time plays into the fears of voters in the west who buy our right wing hyper nationalism.
I do think everyone reading all the posts here all agree it was a horrible act and no sane empathetic person wants things like that to happen.
