This is part of the problem with how the information is put out there. Instead of individual actions, we like to make people a part of a group and then blame the group. This isn't to say we shouldn't look at the group when something like this happens, but recognizing that there is a distinction between those that carried out these actions and the group as a whole is often a line that gets blurry for some people. Whether we are talking about cops, Muslims, the LGBT community, feminists, whatever.

Shit. I'm too scared to even discuss this and a ton of other issues now in fear of experiencing reprisal for expressing the wrong view. People are done talking; talk-time is over.
