(6,234 posts)Of course my reaction was completely inappropriate. Of course attacking some little girl and ruining her school dress is not deserving of all that -- it's arguably not even worth violence at all. Logically it is indefensible, and I won't even bother to try. It makes absolutely no rational or moral sense at all.
That was my point.
In any case, you are going to get your desire. This father is being charged with a crime. This is apparently not enough for you. You feel this guy is guilty, that justice demands he be punished, and you are clearly angry at those who do not share your opinion. So angry, in fact, that you made another thread just to challenge the liberal purity of those who disagree with you, so angry that is this very thread you have called other posters derogatory names.
I have made every effort to be respectful to you and to talk about this as calmly and rationally as possible. I have even gone so far as to share a personal story I am not proud of to illustrate how angry even little things can sometimes make us. But I can see now that you are all too familiar with this yourself. So I will close with this:
It's a FORUM. You are never going to have universal approval or agreement, and on a complicated question like this one, a question dealing with life and death and emotion and horror, you are going to have as many opinions as their are people posting. It's a horrible story about a horrible bloodsplattered tragedy. So lighten up and remember that we are on the same team.
