We can criticize [her for wearing a hijab and belonging to a religion that we’re surprised British citizens haven’t retaliated against sooner and in greater numbers due to a small, militant faction that is part of that religion], but what [s]he suffered [s]he clearly did not deserve. Nor did [s]he deserve to be attacked by [a crazy man who was afflicted with road rage].
I think it’s important to keep in mind that we’re all human beings. Some people on the left and the right are engaged in a war right now to strip people of certain beliefs (or the “opposition”) of their humanity in order to “justify” their own convictions. It’s a losing battle for both sides.

What if one were to say:
It’s time to ask whether the attack on the Muslim community in London was foreseeable, predictable and, to some degree, self-inflicted.
Too many leaders, and political commentators, who set an example for us to follow, have led us into an abyss of violent rhetoric which, it should be no surprise, has led to violence.
This was not the first time.

Once the status of the attacker was known, the local progressive newspaper dropped the story from it’s online edition. It made the cadre of Progressive commenters look pretty stupid with all the “This is what Trump supporters do” comments.

Investigators are saying that the incident was a case of road rage; how much does anyone wanna bet he doesn’t hold a drivers license valid in the state in which he was driving or in which the car he was driving was registered?
Can we count this as a ‘service to America’ when he applies for citizenship?
Are you aware, Wraith, the victim was a 17 year old girl?
Ouch! No David I was not. That case, hate crime, two protected groups in one.
