A major reason these areas - hip restaurants, a Rock concert, and a soccer game - were the ones attacked - the perps knew those targeted were so passive and wrapped in feel-good mistiness that they’d never be able to mount a counter attack - there were reports that some in the theater were getting together to go to “negotiate” with the assassins, and even now the most inspiring reaction of those on the street is to draw peace symbols and play Lennon’s “Imagine” - yes, wouldn’t it be just peachy if the whole world were full of love and good will for all.....
Seriously? What exactly does one “negotiate” with in that instance? “If you don’t shoot us, I will buy you 6 beers?”
