Of course its not acceptable what kind of question is that?

Though it did seem to me it was perfectly acceptable to many hootin and a hollerin for the terrorists ... err I mean rebels, during Arab Spring. Encouraging war, famine, displacment in the name of freedom and democracy, oh ya that was without a doubt totally acceptable.

Now the frenzy over a murderer and the tools he used to commit such a henious act has everyone blasting away at each other. Touting statistics and how much more enlightened they are over the other knowing exactely what the other should be doing about it. How noble, go ahead pat yourselves on the back for caring. But how many of us have ignored their own neighbor, the one right next door to you, who is in need? Hell, how many even know your neighbors real name?

IMO the best each one of us can do is live our lives in peace and set a good example for others to follow. Realize nobody can answer the actions of others nor prevent them from doing what seems right in their eyes.

But I tell ya when people start thinking they know whats best for me on account of the actions of others worries me a heck of a lot more than gettin shot by a handgun.
