I do NOT use a tire iron to turn someone else's head into pulp.No one suggested that you should, but it is important to know that there are people out there who will react in that manner and that one should not do things to provoke them.

I understand that no one on this thread is defending the beating (at least I hope). Still, because these thugs have such an extremely low threshold for what constitutes "provocation," maybe it is they - and not the gay tourists - who shouldn't be out in public.

I understand what you're saying, but the same argument has been used on a macro scale to "explain" 9/11. The libs love to tell us how our culture provoked the Jihadists, and that we had it coming.

Does that apply to knowing that there are people out there who will react to publishing certain cartoons of a certain religious icon as well? Should one not do that since it may provoke them?
