You sound like a coward to me, which is fine, but do no try to convince others to be equally cowardly.

No, fill the streets up with joy, the police will never be any help with bringing justice to the source of these crimes anyways whoever the shooter turns up to be.

When stochastic terrorism happens, yes I think it is important to catch the perpetrator and bring them to justice, but I will not be seduced into thinking the terrorist was unique or sourcing the power and permission for that act of terror solely from a twisted interior. No, this is the act of "sacrifice" rightwing people have been calling for.. openly for awhile now and as such I will interpret it that way.
