@Zmckz: absolutely no one has defended the perpetrator or his heinous act. Regardless of the attacker's motivation, background, or beliefs, it is a horrific crime.
@Starvynth A terrorist is a terrorist. I hastily called him a muslim because he's a Saudi who fit a very very long pattern. That's a safe assumption to make. What I don't get is why anyone would defend him from such assumptions.
In fact, I would appreciate if we didn't have to have the same smoke bomb discussion every single time. If you don't have anything meaningful to contribute, at least try not to derail.
