>> Many here on FR would disagree - they think any shoot is a good one, even the cop who riddled the kid with the toy gun.
“Many” as in more than one?
It’s my recollection the vast majority of FReepers correctly condemned the shooting of the young boy with the toy gun.
I've had "conversations" with several who seem to think that anything that causes a modicum of discomfort is ample reason to shoot to kill.
Perhaps the word "many" was not fully appropriate - "handful" would have been more accurate. Surprisingly, that handful probably think they have the true conservative views - I consider them unbalanced.
If nothing else, it did generate a new wave of opinion pieces - some more level-headed (as yours) and a few went over the top. Made for some interesting reading.
Be safe and have a great FR day.
