This is another "who knew" statement. As in "Gosh, who knew that murder is 'unacceptable'?"
Do you really think any FReeper, in posting that England may have had a revenge motive --in England's own mind-- was somehow calling a murderous shooting spree "acceptable"?
I did not see anyone here say such a thing, nor even suggest that such an act might have "mitigating" factors.
What's additionally galling --and ironic-- is that you as well as the original poster seem to imply that murder in "revenge," if wreaked upon the "right" person, might have been ok.
That's kind of a mirror image of the cock-eyed idea that Spike Lee, had he only got the Zimmerman parents' address correct, would've been ok in posting their address.
My point is, nobody here was justifying England's shooting spree, on any grounds, "revenge" included.
FReepers were only posting an informative piece of the story that we feared the MSM might ignore -- as they ignored so many of the facts in the Zimmerman case.
