I think the act is so new, and some people don't have a complete assurance of what their stand may generate
Thing is, there’s nothing new about this act. Crazy people have done crazy things all through history. It’s being hyped up because some think it is an opportunity to either advance gun control, divide among races, demonize political enemies, or attack a flag.
While this event is highly disturbing, it’s a typical act from a typical nut. The only difference is the 24/7 attention everything gets now hypes up common events to make them seem uncommon...or the reverse...hypes up common events like a rainstorm or drought to tie it to a political movement like global warming.
