In case it’s still unclear to anyone, I think the murder of the young father, the wounding of the other five men, and the burning of Joseph’s Tomb was wrong—they did nothing to warrant being attacked like that, even if they weren’t following the established process for visits. It annoys me that I even feel the need to say that considering my history here, but there it is.

Agreed. Demanding or insisting that people condemn such a thing, instead of assuming it is condemned, is goddamn bizarre. I don’t get the thought process whereby that’s an acceptable thing to do.
