"Or, we could say it's a shame that the poor people had to be shot, when we could have just used diplomacy....."
What gets me is this:
"Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said."
What in the world were those cretins thinking, shooting at people who are there to make life possible?
Let me get my tinfoil hat on, here...is there more to this than simple barbarity and stupidity? I mean, even Homer Simpson has enough sense to put a doughnut into his mouth instead of his eye.
Could any small part of this be politically motivated? Could there be agents provocateur trying to inflame the situation?
These people have received years of rally cries from the far left to "rise up" against the wealthy and authority figures. Anyone with a job represented someone with wealth. Anyone in uniform represented authority. Why shouldn't they hate rescue workers or contractors? These people represent everything they have been taught to hate by the Clintons, the Kennedy-klan, Jesse Jackson, and other high-profile leftists/marxists.
I am sure they will be remembered as martyrs in their public housing areas.
