---The truth is, the perpetrators of the school siege were not human. They were beasts — savage, bloodthirsty animals. For no human being, no matter how legitimately aggrieved, could so savagely open fire on innocent, helpless kids.---
That's not the truth and that's the problem. They're human, not a lot different from any of us.
They've set some ugly dynamics in motion which may end with the ugly scenario of wholesale extermination of Chechens.
When you set about to murder children, don't be surprised when your's are murdered and all traces of your existence are buried under piles of salted rubble....
The term 'human' means like people, and no people do what these terrorists have done, right?
They are not like people, they are unlike people. They are unlike human beings, as a rabid dog is unlike even a sick dog.
