20. I think this guy has proven time and again to be a intolerant nutjob.

But it's an interesting question people should probably be asking themselves - Is what I'm doing really worth kicking a hornets nest?

I try to stay clear of people that are FN crazy. To basically call them out is tantamount to declaring jihad on their religion. And call me a coward, or weak-kneed, but I am very good at self-survival brought about from knowing where the hornets nests are and avoiding them like the plague.

While the magazine people (victims) should not be blamed in this, they were aware of the possibility of something like this happening as we've seen it before. So while I don't blame them, and 100% blame the murderers, I can't help but feel that being respectful of others could have avoided this outcome.

Flame me if you want, but I'm just expressing my thought process. If you don't agree, please do so without insults.
