Christchurch massacre

[Strike For The South]

Most, like me, will not read it and will shake our heads in sadness that this kind of stupidity keeps regenerating itself.

Some will read it, intrigued but appalled, and then shake their heads in sadness.

Some very few will read it and find comfort, validation, and purpose. This was his target audience. Some of those will seek to emulate his fame and "success."

Sadly, this is a cost associated with free speech. For all the universe of good that it does and can do to promote human freedom, it can also be used as a tool for hatred and bigotry. Communication is a process all humans engage in, with varying degrees of skill. Sadly, a skilled communicator is not always thoughtful, smart, ethical, or empathetic.

I have to disagree. This can not be passed off as some crazy fringe individual. This can not be considered the proverbial price of speech. People were gunned down in cold blood.

We don't treat any other kinds of terror this way. There is no reason to make an exception here. To hand wave this is to ignore a growing tide of hate.
