"But I got the impression that she thought, if a _Black_ whacko had killed some _White_ guards, that would have been no big deal." Midchuck

My apologies. I obviously phrased my reaction badly. That is not at all what I (thought I) was implying. I had no thought at all of a Black whacko killing White guards. That's a bit of a stretch even though I wasn't clear on what I did mean.

What I thought I was saying is that it seems intolerable to me that this hatefilled old man was able to kill a member of a race that he hated, that he can now congratulate himself on his success.

On the other hand, if a Black man had been the means of the old man's death while stopping him in his mission that would have been a rich irony.

"I cannot express enough how deeply sorry I am it was Mr Johns, and not my father who lost their life," the shooter's Florida-based son said." from the article above

And that's all I have to say about that. *g*
