Shameful that anyone would cheer the brutalizing of a person standing up to oppression. I thoughts that the sort of thing we denounced here. Christopher used non-violence to make a stand against a vile ideology. He was attacked for it, and people are saying he had it coming. IMO, it’s not because there aren’t repercussions to taking a stand, but because of their bias against the man taking the action.

I don’t always agree with him, but I do on this, and I’ll be damned if I give any quarter to his attackers.
