    Did this actually happen? I'm not saying it didn't, and I can believe it could, but it seems really really mad.
    Not exactly!

    Thanks for that. That makes sense.

    My point, though, is that this is how vigilantes... no matter how emotional they are and driven to "do the right thing".... have the potential to cause even greater tragedy than that which they are trying to avenge.

    In fairness, the same could be said of those extremists who force political correctness as a dogma rather than an ideal. (Some do exist).

    Just trying to be balanced which is something the right can never be accused of IMHO.

    So it's about as true as the guy who walked into a Glasgow job centre and the counter staff misheard him and offered him a job as a tobacconist, when in fact he really wanted to be a tobogannist?

    Seems like the PC Brigade can sometimes be happy to believe urban myths too. But at least ours could be true.

    The majority of the reactionaries (on the other hand), are nothing more than lick spittle running dogs who will say anything to make a point, and hijack the age of change for simplistic and bigoted reasons. They are the type that froth at the mouth every time they perceive a slight to their warped and sick beliefs.
