You're not going to shock anyone into seeing things from your perspective, unless that perspective is already shared. Your inference would seem to be that the act was on some level deserved and I doubt you'll find many supporters of that position. Objectivity is best achieved by examining facts, not analogies or rhetoric, ill conceived or not. Regardless, this thread was being used by people to share their feelings about a tragedy that occurred three years ago. Hijacking it to insert a personal political statement is inappropriate and in poor taste in my opinion; not to mention the fact that discussing politics is against the wishes of the man who runs this place.
