I don't mean to imply that's it's no big deal. It's awful. I only mean to say that's unsurprising. Traguc, but unsurprising. We've built oursleves a society which condones, defends, and celebrates violence as a solution for conflict. This is the result. I get genuinely bewildered by arguments like this, where people are seriously talking about the proper way for parties to engage each other with deadly weapons. It's okay to kill someone, or threaten to kill someone, but only if you go about in a civilized manner? This makes no sense to me. You might as well start a wildfire and then tell it how to burn.
