So this guy walks into a bar...(hypothetically)
Advertisements [?]
whips out a couple of pistols and kills 12 while wounding 31.

Why in the FUCK would his religion have any bearing whatsoever on whether or not he was right or wrong in doing what he did?

He fucked up 12 families for GENERATIONS.

He turned a whole bunch of children into ORPHANS.

He turned the lives of a whole bunch of PARENTS into something they'll now merely have to survive, rather than ENJOY.

He killed innocent people.

Are we (hypothetically) going to go out of our way to defend this person? Will we try and rationalize his actions so as to make them acceptable somehow?

On DU... YUP. That's EXACTLY what we'll do. Some of us anyway.
