re: #178 Obdicut

I don’t get why you think that Charles or anyone else doesn’t think that a group of extremists took advantage of the situation. It’s not mutually exclusive to the video being the motivator, is it?

Sure it is. If they were fired up by the video they’re not “taking advantage” of a situation, they are the situation.

The idea that they “took advantage” implies that there was deliberation and action, not simply reaction.

That doesn’t mean the video was irrelevant. But I think that distinction between action and reaction is more than just splitting hairs.
