Gordon,
We don’t know exactly what happened, but here is what we do know. People you label as, “peaceful protesters”, went on a murdering rampage. We know because the pictures and videos are all over the internet.
“Did enraged Uighurs kill people? Yes, they clearly did. Would most people have done the same in their circumstances? I suspect so.”
Really ? I mean, Really ? Are you serious ? No, you can’t be serious… Oh, you are serious. You argue that most people would have done the same, therefore, a reasonable person would have done the same. If a reasonable person would do it, then it isn’t murder, it’s justifiable homicide. Only, you forgot one thing…
Killing random people on the street is never justifiable.
Look, I don’t know who you hang out with, but attacking and killing random strangers on the street is never considered reasonable, acceptable, or justifiable behavior with the people I hang out with. I’m a little stunned that you believe that murdering random passers-by is sometimes justified.
