"Two wrongs simply don't make a right"
William Amherst, I'm just stunned by your statement as I'd thought of you as one of the more rational commenters here.
For God sakes, this is a  simple black and white  case of Good vs. Bad-- a terrible, violent man lashed out with racist violence  at two innocent  young women, was only stopped by the heroism of three bystanders, two of whom he murdered, and YOU want to make it in to some sort of sophomoric "two wrongs don't make a right."  This is  not about free speech,  it's not about mental health, it's about racist hatreds leading to violent behavior.
I'm saddened   at all of you who have tried to somehow minimize the evil here-- Can't you either  just admit it was a horrible act, or hush up and let the rest of us grieve in peace?
