There's 330 million people here. You, being not from here, only find out about what's exceptional, not what's normal. This case made the news because of how bad it is. It this was common, it wouldn't have made the news.

The instance might be exceptional, but the steady torrent of different varities of shit coming out of the USA is not exceptional. It's incredible.

And don't me wrong, I'm certain there are millions of good people in the USA. But the assholes are in the ascendancy. Obviously.

Stand up, or get flushed down the shitter.

Let's not pretend this is an every day occurrence that happens to everyone. It's a one-off oddball situation. I'm not even sure we have all the details considering the sources.

		You need to get off the internet immediately--especially reddit. Normal people wake up in the morning, put their clothes on, go to work, and come home. You're reading about people who are not the normal everyman and applying it to all persons (and all of the USA). Quit doing that.
