Reply #27: you don't see Jones as an extremist?

I sure as hell do.

Mob mentality did factor into what happened imo- but I believe that there are individuals who intended revenge.

I'm not defending the response- it was completely absurd- This action did not come totally out of the blue, without any kind of provocation at all.

What some of the protesters did was wrong, and inexcusable.

I think it's important that Jones' action be condemned as well. Not in an attempt to excuse the actions that followed - (there is no excuse), but because Jones' actions themself are extremist, destructive and intended to create conflict.
