I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

I do not celebrate any murder. I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None. And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated. Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!
