Anger is understandable, however hate is not a positive emotion. I know that you are upset, rightly so, but civility would be nice. All of us abhor this type of violence. No need to add insult to injury.

Obviously you're horrified and upset as all of us are, but this is no time to be fighting amongst ourselves; it's disrespectful to those very dead and injured you speak of. Every American abhors the cold-blooded violence shown today; how it is handled will test the mettle of our elected leaders as well as our own wisdom in electing them. We should be grieving with those injured and those who have lost someone, and praying with all our hearts for our leaders to find strength, wisdom, and the appropriate compassion. Also you may note that, while we were forced to drop the bombs on Japan to prevent the deaths of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, when those American soldiers occupied Japan they found a population expecting to be exterminated, based on the Japanese own habits of war, traditional slaughter after triumph. Instead, we brought in food and medicine, spared the life of their emporer, and rebuilt the country, converting enemies to trade partners. It is a lesson in using strength when appropriate and compassion when appropriate.
